Venezuela/Isla Margarita

US, Cozumel and most of the Caribbean

Dive Conditions

Escorted by divemaster who allowed us to dive our profile safely. 
Divemaster pointed out marine life and even provided oysters to feed the
fish.  

Rinse buckets on board.  Cameras handed to us after we entered the water.  

Overall Rating

The service and fun we had diving Los Frailes was exceptional.  We were met
at port by the owner who transported our gear and us to a taxi.  We rode
about 90 minutes across the island to a beach. (Free sightseeing trip!)  We
all helped push the boat over the sandbar then proceeded across the bay (45
minutes) to the coral islands.  Pearl oysters everywhere.  Water was cool
by Caribbean standards and very clear.  The divemasters opened the shells
and let us feed the fish.  This was not a marine sanctuary so we could wear
gloves and knives.  On the way back, the divemasters opened oysters for
anyone who wished to partake.  Beer was served, too.  We even found a small
seed pearl in one of the oysters.  Everyone in our group of six agreed this
was one of the best dive trips of the vacation.  The two divers working on
their open water certification were equally enthusiastic.  Isla Margarita
is a great place to dive with Aquanauts.  The only drawback is the lack of
restroom facilities on land.  The very reasonable price of $85 included the
taxi.  Be sure to have cash or travelers checks and money for tips and
t-shirts.  Contact Aquanauts at aquanautsvenezuela@hotmail.com
