    M/V Galapagos Sky review

    That was the only trip to Galapagos that I did so I don't know how good it can be and can't compare. Three dives were excelent - one at Wolf, one at Darwin and the best one at Isabela with mola-molas, seals, pinguins etc. The rest of the dives were not too impressive which as I understand is El...

    M/V Galapagos Sky review

    While there were some positive things about this Galapagoss Sky trip, honestly the service provided wasn't up to our expectations. In just 5 days our toilet leaked, toilet flush failed to work and, the most important one of the engines failed, which made us change the route and lose some of...

    Daily diving from Phuket. Which dive shop?

    We would just probably do Shark/Anemone combo twice on Tuesday and Wednesday (or Thursday). What boat would that be? We'd just skip Rachas as we'll be coming to Phuket from Khao Lak and jopefully will have seen manta rays by the time.

    Daily diving from Phuket. Which dive shop?

    Hi, thank you, who are "we"? I checked your web-site and it features Excalibur which is a See Bees vessel. So that probably wouldn't solve schedule problem. Speaking of the dates we can dive off Phuket 20-23 of march which are Tuesday-Friday. The schedule that we have from SB is as follows...

    Daily diving from Phuket. Which dive shop?

    Hi, used to dive with Sea Bees but this time their schedule doesn't fit our plans. We would rather do two days of Shark Point and Anemone than Racha Noi, Phi-Phi and King Cruiser that fall on the days when we can dive. Also last time we had to dive with really ****ty divers (enough experience...

    the best non-wreck diving in Norway?

    Hi tacky thanks for reply. I'm flying in to Oslo but then I'm free to fly to anywhere I want in Norway. Coming with no buddy unfortunately, and expected to hire a guide in a local dive shop as a teammate but looks like it doesn't work that way in Norway, right? Any suggestions as to where to get...

    the best non-wreck diving in Norway?

    Hi, coming to Norway for 5 days of diving this June. I'm not much into wrecks so trying to figure where would be the best place to do some nature dives. Any suggestions are welcome? PS: did hear about Saltstraumen but only 10 of my 300 dives were done in a drysuite so I thought I'd do that one...

    visiting San Diego/La Jolla

    "DIR buddy awareness" is the important part for me :) I'll be happy to dive with you, I'm not much into wrecks though, I've never seen kelp forests so that's my primary goal :) As to transportation, yes, I'm definitely gonna rent a car

    that was probably meant to sound like sparkling irony whatever we post here the topic starter has already made first step toward realizing that he paid for an expensive piece of crap, as soon as he starts diving paddles and learn proper kicking teсhnics he won't go back to using splits...

    After Bonaire, where is the best place for shore diving

    Dahab is as safe as anywhere else. My car was broken open on Bonaire, not in Dahab, people was attempting to cheat me in shops in California, not in Dahab. I'm not saying people in Dahab have white wings and nimbus, bedouin kids can steal your belongings at Lighthouse, egyptians are crazy...
