This is an awesome list! Thanks so much. I'm punching these into Google Maps to see where each is located. I ended up getting a place close to CBD, so what I'll be doing is researching how to get to these places using mass transit. Thanks again! Andre

I'm about to book and was wondering if anyone is staying before or after the midweek special as well? Also, what's the best way to get there and back? If anyone is driving from Sydney, are you interested in sharing a ride (and costs)?

Hi Guys, I'm in sydney and will join you there! Very happy to meet so many of you at once. I have a question though - how do I get there? And how many people are going to get there the weekend before or stay the weekend after? I'd love to get lots of dives in, so if a few people are going to...

Hi Guys, This is just a little bit off-topic. I have the next 10 weeks in Sydney and need to find a place to live. I was about to rent a place in Darlinghurst (i like the restaurant/coffee shop/etc scene) but it occured to me that I have no idea where people go diving and where the boats...

So I ended up deciding on Malapascua and moalboal for my trip. This will be with fellow scubaboarder gee13. Thanks to all that responded and thanks to gee for helping me set up the trip! Cheers, Andre

Searching for liveaboards I found these here: Dive Liveaboards Calendar - Departure Dates for Liveaboard Diving Cruises I don't know them, and these seem to be mostly Thailand-based (which is fine if you tell me that that's wehre I should go). 25-31 Khao Lak - MV Panunee - Myanmar Mergui...

Hi Guys, I've read almost every post I could find on the subject, but considering this is my first time to this region of the world, I feel very ignorant on how to best select my destination. So I come to you once again - where do I go? I travel alone and arrive in Singapore on Monday...

Thanks so much for this website! A real wealth of information in there. Very useful.

These are all wonderful tips! I've looked at the places you guys have sent up and indeed they all seem very cool. Thanks!!!

Hi Petunias, Looks like you might have a Brazilian crashing the party as well - I'll monitor this thread to see what the dates will end up being and will try to make it happen. Cheers, Andre

These are great tips. I'll certainly look into them. Regarding budget, i'm not too concerned - all i meant is that 12 full weeks of Mike Ball back-to-back are out of my budget. But decent accomodations and the diving costs for this trip were properly planned for and I'm ok with spending what it...

Hello fellow divers, The title says it all - I took a year off from work and will travel around the world. My first part of the trip, which goes from Late January to End of April, will be based in Australia. And that's why this post. My objective is to live somewhere where I can get the...

Is your date set in stone? Can it be a week later? I'm still working out the travel date/time math but it would be muuuuch easier if we could do it the following week. Any chance? Andre

Arraial is a poor city with very simple accomodations and not much to do. I'd recommend you stay in neighboring Buzios (an easy 40 minute drive). Dive in Arraial, though - much nicer than Buzios. I totally recommend PL Divers (www.pldivers.com.br). Extremely nice people, concerned with dive...

Granted, but the only allowed flavor is Garlic. Wish I finished everything i start.

Glad to see I"m not the only one frustrated by this. I'll definitely try to soft-start my breathing. And I never figured the material of my Regulator would matter - will definitely test this out on a borrowed reg. The predators are using CCRs!

Yep. Tried my question at the DR forum... was told to call support. I did, and the answer I got was hte same one as buddhasummer's. Underwater it'll work. I'll compare underwater - but yes, it's the $50 backup lite that caused me to question my investment in the DR700. THans to all you guys!

Hi Tobias, Just out of curiosity, how long does the job take (plus shipping, of course). Thanks!

Actually, Freediving is an option. Gotta learn though. I thought of something that would either disperse the bubbles, making them tiny, or something... but no point doing that if animals are equally scared of microbubbles :-).

Never knew this could be done! Very cool! ANy site that explains how to "do it yourself"?
