What’s in store for travel adventures in 2021?  The top of the dive bucket list, the Coral Triangle, world’s greatest safari destination.

The Serengeti has become synonymous with African Safaris, often filling heads with images of golden sunsets over the savannah, or heavy hoofs rising clouds of orange dust, lions stalking in the wake. This is easily the most famous National Park in Tanzania and offers unparalleled safari experiences, including the biggest spectacle on earth, The Great Migration.

2019 is filled with exciting dive adventures so please join our 2019 trips, but 2020 will be even better, so stay tuned, and please follow my posts.  Each year’s trip calendar starts with a few exciting new dive destinations, and a few great places to re-visit, but all are done with great care and creativity to build the best dive adventures on the planet.

So, what’s in store for 2020:

• Jan 11-18:  Dominica – Fort Young Hotel (arguably, the most diverse island, and the whale watching capital of the Caribbean).  This will be a trip to discover and explore this gem in the Lesser Antilles, with an eye to return, to swim with Sperm Whales, and help with Leatherback Turtle conservation.  Discover and explore with us, and you’ll tell others to join for future years.
• May 2-9:  Belize – Turneffe Atoll + Blue Hole, a brand new resort with introductory pricing that can’t be beat, and the best diving in Belize – stay tuned for the trip details.
• June 1-11:  Indonesia – No. Sulawesi (Lembeh + Siladen), this region offers so much diversity, with Bunaken National Marine Park, and the world’s best muck diving in Lembeh Straits, where you’ll find the most exotic critters in the world.  We keep coming back, Indonesia offers the best diving in the world.
• July 21-30:  Coastal Costa Rica – Socorro – M/Y Sharkwater, This will be a Citizen Scientist Research Expedition for 10 days, 9 nights, and 8 days of diving – stay tuned for the trip details.
• October 14-26:  Red Sea – Aggressor I + Egypt Land Tour, this is the trip many of you have been waiting for, and it is now on the calendar and the pool is open.  Some of the best diving in the world, and all the ancient sites of the cradle of civilization.  If this exciting trip is on your bucket list, you should do it now, or you may regret it.

These dive adventures are currently being worked on, so stay tuned.  If there are dates shown, I have a deposit on this trip. Otherwise, I am nailing down the details, and will post the trip shortly.  Come and join us, for future trips to Costa Rica, Cuba, Azores, and an African Safari.

Our 2019 calendar is complete, after adding Bonaire at Buddy Dive Resort from August 31 – September 8, and the Kona Aggressor II from September 28 – October 5.  Previously, about 5 weeks ago, I canceled Socorro Islands in February and added Sunscape Sabor Cozumel in January, plus a side trip to Playa del Carmen for cenotes and bull sharks.  Socorro Islands was not filling up, so I pushed it out to February 2020, and meetup friends were looking for a winter dive trip, so these changes worked to satisfy those requirements.

2019 Dive Adventures:

• January 9-19:  Playa del Carmen/Cozumel
• May 6-18:  Philippines – Atlantis Puerto Galera/Tubbataha
• June 15-22:  Cozumel + Whale Sharks
• July 13-20:  Little Cayman
• August 31-September 8:  Bonaire
• September 28-October 5:  Kona
• December 2-14:  Palau

Colorado Dive + Travel Adventures is proud to join with Fins Attached as a Corporate Sponsor for future shark advocacy, research and conservation.  The new dive boat, the Sharkwater, in honor of the late Rob Stewart, will be christened on July 27, at the Bahia Mar Marina in Ft. Lauderdale.  Please contact me for details, and how you can also be a part of ocean conservation.

What is the dive trip that truly excites you?  We have an all star lineup of trips for 2017 and beyond, that includes:
