Guided Two-Tank Scuba Dive

BIMh3O00007

Scuba diving in the reefs and wrecks of Bimini

For two-tank certified scuba divers, this tour of Bimini’s reefs is the perfect way to use what your mama gave you (er, what you are certified for).

With its direct exposure to the Atlantic Ocean’s relatively shallow reefs, Bimini is one of the most diverse aquatic destinations in The Bahamas. Neon coral reefs make for not only an easily accessible dive, but also provide shelter for an abundance of marine life — ranging from the tiniest of reef fish to turtles, dolphins, eagle rays and more. On this scuba dive, you’ll explore reefs and wreckage sites that the ocean’s marine life has taken for their own.

CARIBBEAN CRUISE HAITI AND PUERTO RICO

video content

Rating: 4.5; Votes: 2

CARIBBEAN CRUISE HAITI AND PUERTO RICO
Sportswear: 9 bucks for a coconut — this is a wild price tag In Punta Cana, in the tourist area, they take 1, maximum 2. This is if it is paid, but they usually give it for free, for a smile. In general, this cruise is no longer a trip, but a business for locals in the ports of stay. Such a floating house of wallets. The task of the locals is to stupidly come up with entertainment, break the price for them and roll back to the shipowner. All

It seems to me that a week of cruise is not enough) When at all there to swell on the liner, if you take a walk at night, then in the morning you will not want to go anywhere for a walk and so you can miss at least 2-3 days) therefore, I think 15 days would be just right, so that there would be such days when the liner sails cleanly along the sea-ocean and does not go anywhere, so that you already know that you can relax and thump on this day and not miss anything)

Apparently the cruise company organized a separate tour to Haiti. reservation, because in fact Haiti is one of the most backward in eq. development of countries with high levels of crime, unemployment, poverty and disease. So there is not even a small fraction of the truth about real life on the island shown here. It’s just pretty tinsel for cruisers.

Anna Lanskaya
Everything is beautiful, good. BUT. Vitalik from His Move is much more eloquent. Their video is straight FIRE. Zhenya, read more LITERATURE. ONCE YOU MAKE A VIDEO, IT WON’T HURT YOU. You focus on the Picture and Lily. now let’s replenish vocabulary so that the videos are 100% straight

As for retirement holidays, harmony of the seas means many different ages, and I have never seen pensioners. but many liners are really penisile, we were on the royal princess more, there are 80% pensioners. about Puerto Rico. in the heat back a taxi would be called

Guys, I always really like your releases, but the yellow filter spoils everything, especially in the Caribbean, there are such colors that the yellow filter clogs the real ones. That the color of water, that greenery in its natural form are beautiful

An example of a high degree of cretinism that does not prevent people from living. Vocabulary is minimal for a modern person. Absolute inability to describe what he saw and felt. Modern Ellochki cannibals.

I take it you were in a gated area in Haiti specifically for cruise ship tourists. Haiti is the poorest and most criminal country in Latin America. Where you ended up for the Haitians is an inaccessible paradise. nine0003

Cruise from New Jersey (Bayonne) to Puerto Rico on the cruise ship Celebrity Summit — Pipsik

It was early autumn in Bayonne. It was October 2019 outside. Dull gray buildings were replaced one after another behind the taxi window. To top it all off, a small, nasty autumn rain began. We were on our way to Cape Liberty to board the Celebrity Summit cruise ship from Bayonne to Puerto Rico.

Landing on the island of Saint Martin.

Landing on the island of St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands).

1.3
Arrival in Puerto Rico.

The liner set sail at 16. 00, but we decided to arrive early to get comfortable. The Uber driver helped get the suitcases out of the trunk, wished us a good day, and was like that. We got out of the taxi right into the autumn and rain, but at the sight of a huge ship that was supposed to shelter us for the next week, our mood rose sharply. nine0003

Bayonne Cruise Port, NJ

Some people can’t wait to board the ship 🙂

The ship towered proudly over the port like a skyscraper. It seemed that he was winking at us with all his windows, inviting us to come on board as soon as possible. We did not disappoint him, and, after passing through passport control, we found ourselves in the warm and cozy belly of the ship, completely covered with soft carpets. Our 6 day Caribbean cruise has begun!

The crew turned out to be very friendly and well-trained, like a good English butler. Smiles almost never left the faces of the staff throughout our voyage. The guests on the ship did not lag behind them, trying to show their best side. nine0003

Our cabin with a porthole at Celebrity Summit

Having placed our suitcases in the cabin, we began to explore the liner. The most interesting was the 10th deck (Deck10). At the end of this deck, or, as the sailors say, at the stern, there was a huge buffet, where excellent food was served.

In the middle of this deck there were 2 swimming pools — one in the open air, the other under a canopy, and 6 good jacuzzis, which I immediately tried on myself 🙂 On the very bow, we found a good gym, like for a ship, which we went to almost every day. On the 12th deck there was an open-air cinema with comfortable beds-loungers. nine0003

Landing on the island of Saint Martin.

Mountains and palm trees — that’s what you see as soon as you get off the ship on the island of Saint Martin

Having had a hearty breakfast on the ship, we went to the island. The weather was sunny, and mountains and palm trees immediately rushed into our eyes.

But Saint Martin does not live by this alone. It is best known for Maho Beach, which attracts many tourists from all over the world. And all because just behind this beach is Princess Juliana Airport. nine0003

And when planes come in for landing, before landing they fly very low over this very Maho Beach. They say that at the same time, the air flow raised by landing planes can even drag your things into the ocean!

Maho Beach

Tourists constantly check the flight schedules on the surfer board

But don’t believe everything they say. We did not notice any special air disturbances during the landing, except that there was a small air flow, but not from the landing aircraft, but from the aircraft taking off. However, our backpack was nevertheless carried away into the ocean, only it was not the plane that was to blame for this, but the wave that quietly crept up to the shore, which treacherously reached the very stones. nine0003

Please note that Maho Beach has a rather significant tide — I had to leave shooting low-flying aircraft for a while and run to catch a backpack. By the way, the water turned out to be excellent — warm as fresh milk and transparent as a tear.

Civilization touched the island of St. Martin rather weakly

Landing on the island of St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands).

Early in the morning, our cruise ship Celebrity Summit docked at the port of Charlotte Amalie, on the former pirate island of St. Thomas. And if on Saint-Martin a clear lack of civilization was striking, then here everything was much better with this. nine0003

However, we were unpleasantly surprised by the high prices for everything from a bottle of water (around $3 a pop) to an ordinary-looking swimsuit ($186). These exorbitant prices eclipsed even the expensive New York ones.

Cruise ship Celebrity Summit

By the way, a taxi from the port to the beach costs around $10-15 per person. There were several beaches to choose from, but after rummaging through the Internet, I decided to choose Magen’s Bay Beach. And did not lose! Our eyes opened the purest azure water, soft white sand, palm trees, herons, iguanas and even pelicans! nine0003

Magen’s Bay beach

That’s really where the Bounty is — Heavenly delight! Having heeded the Internet advice, we immediately went to the left side of the beach and found ourselves almost alone, since the bulk of the tourists were on the right side. We visited several other beaches, but this one was our favorite.

This is what real Caribbean islands should look like. Several hours of enjoyment on this beach flew by unnoticed, and leaving footprints in the sand, we went back to the ship. nine0003
