Need Dive Buddy - Zenith Dec. 29

[sea-jay]

Traveling on the Zenith to Panama, Costa Rica, Roatan, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. Plan to dive in Roatan, Cozumel and maybe Grand Cayman. Anyone else going. We have a roll call at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=261757&page=5

i suggest you also post on the roll call board for your ship and date.. you may have some luck there

Already did that Star but no one logged onto our roll call is a diver. In fact, I am a member of a group that has 60 (that's right - sixty) cabins booked and not one of them dive. Go figure!!:D

Too bad that your cruise is not a month later. Am on the Zenith on the 19th of Jan and would love to have a buddy to scuba dive with. Wife will come and snorkel and read a book but doesn't dive. You can always book with an independant company an they will buddy you up. I have done Grand Cayman before and it was great, lots of walls. Don't remember the company but will look at my log book to see if I wrote it down. I know the one that I booked didn't have any other divers so they put me with a different one but it worked out well.

Sixboys - I agree that I can always be "buuddied up" but I always like to try and get to know someone a little before I entrust my life to them (and that's basically what you are doing). On a cruise last year I met my dive buddy on the roll call and we chatted (by phone and CC Boards) for over three months before we ever met. I knew how many dives he had done, where, how frequently, the types of diving (spear, lobster, photo, cold water, etc.) and that gave me a lot more confidence than some of the other buddies I have been assigned to.

 

Check back on this thread before you leave on the 19th and I will report how my dives went.

That would be great to hear your report. Thanks
