Going Cruising to get to Scuba Dive 3 different Caribbean Islands. Cayman, Roatan, Belize. Ep118

Ep118. In most episodes of Cruising Off Duty, the “Cruising” refers to cruising on a sailboat but in this episode, we are actually going Cruising on a Cruise Ship. Janice and I love taking cruises to economically get us around to see different islands in the Caribbean. Last year we got our Scuba qualifications just prior to chartering a catamaran for a week in the BVI (covered in Ep 43-55). We want to Scuba Dive at least once a year to keep our certifications current.
This is our 7th Cruise and we have tried others but come back to Carnival Cruises because they seem slightly cheaper and Carnival markets their cruises as “Fun Ships” and that is certainly the case as the guests are a lot more lively and there are fun activities going on all the time on the ship. This cruise ship took us to Grand Cayman, Roatan, Belize and Cozumel. We were able to take excursions at the first 3 stops and did 2 tank dives at each. In Cozumel the dive excursion was cancelled prior to our arrival so we ended up doing a Dune Buggy excursion. It was fun but we hear the Scuba in Cozumel is great so we will have to go back another time.
This episode is the first of what will be a few episodes covering the entire trip. We hope you enjoy it. If so, like, share and subscribe to the channel for more.
Thanks for watching,
Craig and Janice
PS – Somehow my small camera bag with my usual main camera, Panasonic GH5, and my usual Vlog Camera, Canon G7Xii, were accidentally left in the trunk of the car and didn’t make the trip to the Cruise Ship. In my backpack I did have my GoPro 5, my Mavic Pro Drone and my GH4, but I ended up shooting most of this episode using my iPhone X. It actually did a pretty good job.

Cruising Off Duty
Welcome to Cruising Off Duty. We are Craig and Janice. We love travelling and we love sailing, so we figure the best way to see the world is by sailboat. We presently have a 35' Beneteau Oceanis sloop that we sail out of Kingston, Ontario Canada, which is on Lake Ontario. We have a longer term plan, when we retire in a few years, to sell everything and buy a 40-50' Catamaran and circumnavigate the globe. Craig loves photography along with land based and drone videography and plans to document everything along our travels to share with the world through Youtube and other social media. For now, follow our channel as we show you the beauty of the Great Lakes and the 1000 Islands area of the St Lawrence River. You will also see the steps we take as start narrowing down the Catamaran we think will suit us best as we move closer to our goal of living full time on a sailboat and exploring the world. It should be a journey worth watching.
