Sosua Diving

5/26/2015

Not only is Sosua home to the best diving here on the island, some amazing underwater photographers live and work out of here.

Click on the button below to see some of the incredible images my friends Colin, Peter, and others have captured of the beautiful underwater world. Be sure to leave us comments :)

Just a reminder that the beach and dive site clean-up is coming up soon. Join us in helping to protect our reefs, stop for a pop at The Checkpoint after, and then listen to the live music with your dive buddies at The Lazy Dog at 6:00. Hope to see you there!

Underwater Engagement

A few weeks ago I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph a surprise underwater engagement.

A fellow instructor had made the arrangements with the groom and under the guise of a "lost diver" scenario in his rescue course we laid the plan. We descended to a beautiful clear location on the reef and got prepared. A few minutes passed and the groom and his bride to be "found" me after an effective underwater search.

Sure enough, as he went to write the proposal on his slate - he drops his pencil! Yep - I had a spare!

The reaction and the smile said it all, but the future bride did manage to write "YES"

Fresh roses were presented and the ring was placed on her finger. We did manage to get a number of good shots and had a GREAT dive after on the reef. The best part - it did come a s a surprise!

Congratulations and looking forward to seeing you back here in the warm, clear waters around Sosua! That will remain one of the most memorable dives in my log book, and it was GREAT to be able to share the event with you and to gain two new dive buddies!

Have a great week everyone. Now on to the Dive Site Clean-Up on June 1 !

Fantastic News :) :) :)

The local dive shops here in Sosua have come together to support a "Clean Up The Ocean" project.

On Monday June 1, in conjunction with normal dive operations, divers from all the local shops will be collecting garbage from the ocean. Everyone who participates will be eligible for prize draws at a function at The Lazy Dog in Sosua at 6:00 in the evening.

Come on out, enjoy a beautiful dive in warm and clear waters here in Sosua, help preserve the ocean for future generations, and enjoy the fun with your fellow divers at the Lazy Dog that evening.

Should be a GREAT day, and just the start of more to come.

Let's show how much we care about the ocean. Spread the word, come diving, and let's keep Sosua as the number 1 dive destination on the North Coast.

For more information contact your local dive shops or leave a message here!

A HUGE thank-you to all of the local shops, The Lazy Dog, and ADSS for your help to make this possible.
