“Decent enough”

Very social and friendly vibe with nice cheap and cold beer. Cleanliness on the iffy side. Dorm rooms vary, some with great mattresses, some with double flimsy things that swallow you whole as you lay down. Some top bunks suffer from windy oscillating fans and sunburn as light streams in the windows in the morning. If you get a good bottom bunk, it´s a decent deal. Also, a partnership with Octopus diving gives you a free bed in the cheap dorm.

Once back in Taganga, we headed out to talk to at least one more dive shop and one more travel agency before giving up on the town entirely. The Belgian owned dive shop we visited had a much more positive picture to paint, along with photos of things to see underwater. Their price for the advanced course was even cheaper …

We decided to head straight to Taganga from our flight to Santa Marta, we'd heard that Taganga was a much nicer place to stay so after our 3 flights, and delays of 3 hours we jumped in a taxi headed for Taganga and our chosen hostel. Having prewarned the hostel our flight was delayed and we would now be looking at arriving around 12.30am we rocked …
