Visiting Hog Island during the week is like purchasing a private island at the bargain price of $20 EC per head. For the cost of roundtrip boat passage from the fishing village of Woburn to the island, you could find yourself blissfully undisturbed on this tiny L-shaped strip of beach. That’s a pretty sweet deal in my book. I …
I take a lot of photos when I travel. A lot. Hundreds each day. Thousands each trip. But only a handful of them ever see the light of day. And those that do are usually buried deep inside a Facebook album that hardly does justice to the true beauty of the scenes captured, or the rarity of …

I’ve been itching to dive for the past three weeks but a pesky cough has confined me to dry land and it’s taking its precious time to go away. Since I can’t dive, or write about new diving expeditions, I’ve channeled my frustrations into scouring dive publications, blogs and of course, my beloved Pinterest, for the …
