Day 7: O’Brien
Today was a great final day. The water was too choppy to dock the boat on our pier, so we had to take vans to another port nearby. The boat ride only ended up being about 30 seconds to our dive site.
Trinity CavesThis was our first dive site of the morning. It...
Matthew Gonzalez – Day 1
From the moment I stepped off the plane and as I arrived at Cobalt Coast Resort, my expectations for this trip sky rocketed. The warmth, the music, and the service had a strong impact on my original perspective of the experience to come.
