SCUBA Diving

Do you have to be naked to go barebutt sailing? Oops, I mean bareboat! Maaaybe – bareboat sailing means that you or a close friend is certified and skilled enough in sailing prowess that your group can charter a sailboat on your own without hiring a local professional skipper. You sail wherever you want…

Bora Bora, Tahiti, Huahine, Raiatea…French Polynesia…few places sound more romantic –bringing to mind beautiful waters with every possible shade of blue, palm trees, grass skirts, ukuleles, tropical drinks, huge smiles, dramatic scenery, and lots of hand holding opportunities. No reason to adjust that perception – it’s all true!

UPDATE: We’re home and working on our stories, photos and videos, especially from SCUBA diving 🙂 Our next bareboat sailing adventure will be in St. Lucia, St. Vincent and The Grenadines! Looking forward to sailing, beaches, clear warm waters, snorkeling and SCUBA diving! We’d love your suggestions! Here are some of the areas we’ll visit:

SCUBA diving, Thai massages, tigers, sailing Phang Nga Bay / Andaman Sea for 10 days: seeing a whale shark, huongs, Songkran, Cambodian Circus, Ta Prohm, Bayon, Angkor Wat, tuk tuks, ladyboys, monks, Long Neck village, waterfalls, orchid-butterfly farm, ornate temples, intense heat, sweet elephants…

Thailand bareboat sailing around exotic limestone islands in the Andaman Sea and Phang Nga Bay. Imagine scenes from James Bond’s “Man with the Golden Gun” – bizarre limestone islands, sandy beaches, cliffs, caves…

Thailand is famous for excellent diving in the Andaman Sea / Indian Ocean, so we booked a live-aboard with Wicked Diving in Khao Lak, north of Phuket. Serious diving for serious divers – you dive, talk about diving, eat, and sleep for the duration…
