Are you a diver ready to take the leap — or, more accurately, the giant stride entry, hardy har — into liveaboard diving? You’re in for a treat. If you’re sitting at home thinking, “what in the six-sided starfish is a liveaboard?!,” it’s essentially exactly what it sounds like: a dive boat with cabins that divers […]

If you’ve been reading Alex in Wanderland for a while, you know one thing for certain — packing light is not one of my strengths. But never has it been more important than when boarding a liveaboard dive boat! Tight quarters in the cabins, a specialized sport involved, no access to stores to replace anything you […]

Welcome to my new series: Earning Abroad! I am often asked for blogging advice from readers eager to make a living overseas. Yet the percentage of truly successful bloggers is so low, promoting it as a viable income source to the masses feels a bit like peddling a course at the Barbizon School of Modeling. Plus — […]

At times it seemed we would be on this boat forever but today it seems to be going by too fast. We’re closer to Nassau now and the water is much, much colder but I can’t resist one last dive. The site is one […]

Last year Mark and I literally spent the day comatose on the couch, watching The Hangover, hungover. Well this time, things were going to be different. We were going to be active. And tour places. And pretend we weren’t […]

While one person is working really, really hard, one person is working really, really… not. In addition to the usual tasks of driving and crewing the boat, Mark’s daily duties include filling […]

We had a big day ahead — scuba diving, iguana stalking, and sunset watching. Watch out, Bahamas. [Dive 1: Lobster No Lobster] The first dive of the trip was a bright and early morning dive, but I was quickly slapped awake by the freezing ocean hitting my face. The first […]
