YOUR Dive Travel Specialist

I would gladly live out of a suitcase, if it meant I could see the world!

Dear Dive Buddy,

I’m back from beautiful Bali, and wow… what an adventure! 🌴🐠 From getting up close and personal with some seriously cool macro critters underwater to wandering, tasting, exploring, and soaking up the incredible Balinese culture, I had an amazing time—and came home with plenty of stories (and probably a few more dive destinations on my wish list!).

Now, I realize Bali may not be calling your name. And that’s okay! I’m willing to bet there’s another destination that has been sitting on your “someday” list for far too long.

So, how about we change that? Let’s grab your destination wish list, pick a place that makes you say “YES, I want to go there!”, and start turning that dream trip into an actual plan. Because adventures are a lot more fun when they’re on the calendar instead of living on the wish list!

Where will we go next? Let’s start planning! ✈️🌎🤿

Explore more...stress less...dive happy & blow those bubbles around the world!!

Warm regards, Liz

This New DOT Rule Takes Effect Oct. 19—and It Could Mean Less Assistance for Stranded Travelers

A new DOT classification will consider several causes of delays outside airlines’ control, potentially reducing the assistance carriers are obligated to provide.

By Scott Laird, Travel+Leisure, 9 Sep 2026

Travelers may get less assistance during lengthy flight delays this fall following an amended rule announced last week from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
