    Blue Heron Bridge in Winter?

    In early January I'm headed out on the Shearwater to do some Tiger/Hammerhead diving, and now I realize that I can extend my time and dive a couple days at the BHB. I'm a huge muck/macro fan so it would be a shame to be there and not dive it. I'm a photographer and would be hiring a guide from...

    Sogod Bay info?

    Sogod Bay has been on my radar for a bit, and recently I saw some photos coming from there with some rare nudibranchs, amongst a nice array of macro critters. The trip would be in early November and most likely be paired with some time in Puerto Galeria. It looks like there is a good mix of...

    a few Ambergris questions

    How far out are the dive sites from Ambergris? I ask because my wife is a non-diver so the less I'm gone the better. How is the diving? I'm totally spoiled by the Coral Triangle so my standards are pretty high. How's the weather in January? I'm mostly concerned about high winds? Any sand...

    I Love diving in Indonesia. I'm hopelessly hooked and I can't see any way out of my addiction except to dive there as much as I can.

    I've been to Komodo twice in November and have heard from a few others that the conditions in January differ from November.

    Maldive liveaboard curious?

    I'm an experienced diver with some curiosity for doing a liveaboard in the Maldives. I've read through the first 15 pages of posts here so I'm not totally uninformed. My time frame for travel would be early to mid November 2016 which I understand to be the monsoon saddle season. I'd most likely...
