The route

  1. 01
    5 days
    Bonaire
    80.7
    Caribbean Netherlands · Caribbean

    Rent a truck, dive whatever you want whenever you want. No current, no tide, no schedule — Bonaire is the reset the rest of your year needs.

  2. 02
    4 days
    Cayman Islands
    80.3
    Cayman Islands · Caribbean

    Fly through Miami to Little Cayman (not Grand Cayman — Grand is where the hotels are, not the dives). Bloody Bay Wall is the best wall in the Caribbean.

  3. 03
    5 days
    Cozumel
    80.7
    Mexico · Caribbean

    Drift dive finale. Book a 6:30am op to beat the cruise ship crowd. End the trip with the splendid toadfish night dive.

Logistics

Honest verdict
Three weeks of Caribbean diving without burning out. Bonaire is where you decompress mentally, Cayman is where you see world-class walls, Cozumel is where you remember why you started diving in the first place.
