Scuba Diving Paradise ;)

by darthmilmo - last update: Oct 3, 2002

I went to Taganga with one thing in mind: Diving! I took a 3-day advance open watercourse there and learned more diving techniques. This is truly the cheapest place on the Americas to learn how to dive (they charged me $133 US, including 2 free dives). The first two dives were just open water ones (no deeper then 18 meters). It really got me going again... jejeje. In the course itself, I took two deep multilevel dives to 30-35 meters. The view of the deep blue is amazing... plus you get a little condition called nitrogen narcosis, which is interesting to say the least. The best dive i've taken thus far was the current dive... on this dive we got to ride a sea current for a few minutes. You just let go and enjoy the ride unfold below your eyes... the fish and sea life just flashes within your eyes like a movie. The other dive was a navigation dive (compass and all). The last dive was an amazing night dive where we got to see the night animals: crabs, lobsters, etc. It is definitely different then during the day.
