After logging more than 100 dives, I was looking for a dive site that would surprise me, but wouldn’t necessitate days of travel. I found one in Archipelago Los Roques, Venezuela’s refreshingly different Caribbean dive destination. Wonderful chalk-white sand reef walls, incredible varieties of fish and sea creatures, and lots of soft coral made Los Roques’ beauty stand out. And I could reach it with just a three-hour flight from Miami.
