Follow me as I travel to scuba diving sites around the world, talk about scuba gear, scubadiving stuff -- All kinds of stuff divers would be interested in.
I have several stories to tell about my week in Bayahibe but since my return to my home in Quebec, I have no internet connection and am eagerly waiting for the delive of my wireless modem.
In the mean time, I have to go to my public library for free internet access.
Next Saturday, I will be diving in the Caribbean sea. Up until now, I have dove in the Atlantic. Even when I used to dive in Cuba, it was still the Atlantic. It will be a first for me :-)
I will be in Bayahibe close to many wrecks and lots of interesting stuff.
I got an email from my travel agent telling me that my previously scheduled flight of April 23rd was now pushed to April 26th. Kewl! I get to spend three more days in DR.
What I don't understand is that when I booked my flight, way back in November, I wanted to return on the 30th or as close as possible to that date. They told me that the best they could do was the 23rd. Now, how did that new flight came about? Why cancel one flight and create a new one?
Well why should I try to find that out, after all, I just gained 3 days. Who knows, maybe in two weeks, they'll push the flight yet another couple of days -- way KEWL :-D
With the keywords that I used to place my Dudu cave video on YouTube, I get associated with a lot of videos about what appears to be a group of musicians.
It does not do much for positioning my video in the proper category but since there are more people looking at videos from music bands than videos about scuba diving, being bundled with them could get me more visitors :-)
Speaking of visitors, the fact that I post more regularly keeps my blog alive and brings in more traffic. I will then use this opportunity to ask you about what you would like to see more of on this blog.
Would you like for me to look for more scuba diving videos and post them on my blog?
Would you like to see more of my own videos?

This is a video made by the frenchmen I dove with while looking for Chiquita reef.
It's kind of dark and we don't get to see much of the lagoon part which I really enjoyed. These guys, however, have the training to go beyond the "Stop, Danger" sign (The sign you see early in the video).
If you have read some of my previous posts, you know that I loved diving the Dudu caves.
I had the opportunity of returning there last thursday.
Of course, there's nothing like the first time . . .
Although I still enjoyed the dive, the water was not as clear as the first time because of increased traffic (lotsa divers and swimmers). Also, I did not get to swim for as long in the lagoon as the first time around because of tight scheduling.
This time around, I brought my video camera so that you can have a look at the location. The shelter that you see was in the early stages of construction the first time I went to Dudu.
Because they were gearing up for the long Easter weekend, they had music playing and more visitors than usual.
There were two other divers hailing from Quebec. One was a geologist, so we had a quick course on how stalactites and stalagmites are formed. The other was a well traveled diver who was cavern diving for the first time. Although she enjoyed the dive, she prefers the open spaces of the ocean with all teh fish and coral. Indeed, cave and cavern diving can be dark and dreary if you are not into the thrills and dangers of a covered environment.
Here is a short video of the location of Dudu cave.
