The New York Times runs a nice piece today about quick scuba getaways. You know, scoot out on Thursday night, dive all weekend and then back in the office Monday or Tuesday. Turns out the phenomenon is on the rise, the old scuba in-out-in-out, as it were, my droogies. Among the groups offering trips are the PADI Travel Network, who organizes dive weekends to Cozumel (from whence a friend of mine just returned and said it was superb, so long as you stay away from the tourist hell of Cancun), the Caymans, to Key Largo and Key West. It seems the Bahamas are also big, with Nassau and Freeport on the list.
Generally, this means three solid days of diving, and so long as you give yourself time to decompress (literally) before you fly, you’re back for the Monday morning staff meeting. Beats trudging over ice-covered sidewalks along 5th Avenue.
