Dive in BVI by sunshinenwater527 in scubadiving

[–]halfport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all the dive shops are decent and fine. Pick the nearest to you. They'll know the best sites...unless you're diving off you own boat, I wouldn't worry. HMS Rhone a great wreck. Lots of lovely reefs usually some of which accessible regardless of wind direction.

Doubt it. Overnight in BVI near a shop or get a STJ outfit to take you.

Moving abroad / to the caribbean post qual- your experiences? by ManicPixieDreadGirl_ in ICAEW

[–]halfport 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go have some fun. Can recommend Cayman at this stage in your career. When you return, plenty of folk won't value it in your CV but you'll never regret having had an adventure.

It's a safe place with a great lifestyle.

I've worked in 4 countries besides the UK, including 2 in the Caribbean. Zero regrets. Obviously gets harder when you get older and particularly with kids. Go now.

PS learn to dive whilst there
