Dive Shop: Captain Jak’s
Dive Masters: Amir & Martin
Dive Sites: Pompion Wall & Pompion Canyons
We love Captain Jak’s for diving. Their guides are fun and knowledgeable, their dive boat is comfortable, quick, and pretty quiet. You will have a great dive when you go out with them. This was Tim’s second set of discover scuba dives. Pompion is a private caye almost directly east of Placencia. There is a wall dive as well as canyons. For the wall dive, since Tim as doing discover, we stayed on the edge of the wall. For the canyon dive he was exhausted and sat that one out.
We had the pleasure of diving with 3 others, a mom with 2 of her adult sons. Cindy, Dominic, and Chris were a great group to spend a nice day with.
Pompion Wall
During the dive we saw so many fish including schools of snapper, creole wrasses, and atlantic spade fish.

Pompion Canyons
This was a great dive. The canyons were neat to see. One of the Captain Jak’s staff is a new diver, Tommy, and he joined us on the dives today as well.

We ate lunch on the boat while moored right off Pompion Caye. There was a local family enjoying the water with 2 dogs. As usual custom, we were throwing our leftovers into the water for the fish, but one of the dogs kept trying to partake. He was walking on his hind legs only making his way to our boat. Unfortunately for the pup, the fish were much faster and grabbing the food, but it was adorable and a memory I won’t soon forget.
