And arrivals was up almost 51 percent on 23rd January 2020 compared to same date in 2019... 21st to 30th January 2019: 184,186 21st to 30th January 2020: 180,603 Difference -3,583 that equals 1.95 percent down – hard to see a major problem during that dates...????

Elkski Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Is smog really that bad? That's about how I would say the scuba diving compares to a good Caribbean location 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
