Diving in La Pirámide - San Andrés Island

Thilo H. posted an article on - Dec 1, 2010, 9:54 am
Another dive under conditions of strong currents, however, again I believe there were some images worthy enough to show this diving place of San Andrés Island called "La Pirámide" (The Pyramid). I haven't seen any pyramids, so as almost always, I have no idea where these strange names come from. A...

As always I'm very proud of my wife. This time she finished the specialty course in Digital Underwater Photography. Until now she's an Open Water Diver, so she's developing fast in this hobby. Not bad, so I edited her photographs (and a few pictures of her) in this video. Thilo

This year, in November of 2010, I had the chance to dive in this place again. Although I had the hope that weather conditions we...

Diving in El Palacio de la Cherna - San Andrés Island

Thilo H. posted an article on - Oct 28, 2009, 12:59 pm
Yesterday I told you diving should always be fun and secure. Of course, there are many other intrinsic qualities to this spectacular outdoors activity that are desirable, and I believe one of them could be relaxation, like during this dive in El Palacio de la Cherna (eng. The palace of the wreckfish...

Diving in La Aguja (Santa Marta)

La Aguja (means "The Needle" in english) is a diving place that belongs to the natural park named Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona, near to the city of Santa Marta. Currents are very strong in the open areas, so you have to stay near the walls of the mountains that end into the sea. And the water is ...

Sometimes beauty and danger may be mixed up in strange ways. Today's chronicle develops in a place named Bajo Bonito, which means something like "beautiful low place". Should you watch my video of this diving site at the end of this article, you may think this dive was all about relaxation and joy, ...

Diving in El Trono - San Andrés Island

Thilo H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Maybe this could be another ideal place for training or for a first SCUBA diving experience in San Andrés Island. Since it is so near to the coast line, in El Trono you may have to struggle with intermitent currents that come from the force of the waves that mold it's sandy bottom and break a quart...

Thilo H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Blue Wall is probably the most popular diving site of San Andrés Island, and we are talking about a place that has at least two dozen remarkable diving sites. Since I've been to the island many times, maybe this was the third time I was diving there. However, the diving site was unrecognizable. The...

All the contrary, many of us are waiting to start the new year with a few dives. I also wanted to tell you that now the blog of COLOMBIA SCUBA is also available in FACE...

Just yesterday I released a post on COLOMBIA SCUBA about the tragic case of the killer whale trainer that was murdered by an orca named Tilikum, last week.
