This was our second trip with Nadia and Scuba Diver Life Expeditions (March 2024 in Dominica) and we continue to value these life-experience trips as top-notch. Nadia and her on-site team excel at making everything easy - from airport transfers, to excellent lodging, to the boat and the actual in-water experiences. At La Ventana last week for Orca and other mega-fauna, our experiences was world-class. First, above water - the luxurious beach front home that we stayed in was 5-star all around. From the private bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, to the gourmet kitchen, to the spacious living areas, and especially the outdoor patio with private pool and hot tub - it was all amazing, including the in-house chef and housekeeping. To the main event - the in-water experiences with mega-fauna, this exceeded our wildest dreams. First, the boat was very comfortable and fun, and Captain Armando and Mate Peter were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the sea life, and were just all around friendly and nice people to spend the week with. We went hoping to get a few free dives in with Orca, but WOW!, we accumulated 8 hours of time with Orca with over 30+ drops of in-water, up-close, mind-blowing Orca encounters over 2 days. Beyond that once-in-a-lifetime success, we had top-notch in-water encounters with a mega-pod of Pilot Whales, a Brydes Whale, various species of Manta Rays, 3 species of dolphin, sea lines, and Silky sharks. In aggregate, it was my best ocean-exploring week of my life and all wrapped in 5-star luxury and comfort. Can't wait to complete the trifecta and next experience Scuba Diver Life's Tonga expedition with Humpback Whales.
