maybe i can offer some of my humble opinions here. Taiwan diving on the main island will not be able to compete with Thailand nor PI nor MY. However, just to ease the craving; we still go out in the northeastern coast of taiwan (1hr drive from taipei) on weekly basis. If you want superb...

Hi Guys: I am also trying to locate a destination in Thailand other than Phuket, Samui region for some diving (probably 1 day only..) and most importantly--snorkeling since i am going with my GF and she does not dive. I am thinking about Hua Hin but from my understanding it is more of beach...

Thank you thank you, I am also heading to Phuket on the 22nd but my stay will be very short 4d/3n... Which means I can only dive for 2 days. I am trying to do some shopping around right now.

thank you all for your kind advice, appreciate it! next step is get booking for flights, hotel and dive ops. Haven't been in Phuket for 4 1/2 yrs, can't wait to get there! Jeff

Thank you Vie for your info. Can you elaborate a bit more on the "water" condition? Are you referring to vis or sea condition. I am assuming the weather should be ok right?

Hi All: I am palnning a trip to Thailand in late Oct. We want it to be a land base trip so we can still enjoy the land activities other than just diving. From my understanding Phuket/Phiphi season will not kick in until Nov. and Samui/Koh Tao season are ending... Any suggestion is highly...

Hi John: I was is APO island near Dumanguete in Feb. It was nice lots of reef fish and corals, but from what i heard from the dive guides--it used to be even better. The size of the "clown fish city" is smaller in scale than before. From my understanding, APO reef and APO island are 2...

Oh no, SWV was our prime choice. Now I really have to think about the alternatives. But isn't the accomadation a lot better in SWV compare to the rest? Is there a lot of Japanese divers in SWV? Is it operated by Japanese? Please advice. Thanks

Thanks a lot for all the inputs. I heard March to May is the best season for Sipadan. Is that correct? What should we expect if we go in the last week of june?

Hi Guys: We have decided to go to Sipadan in June and we are deciding on the resort we would like to stay in. From my understanding; the Mabul resorts are a little bit better than the ones on the Sipadan. Are there 3 resorts on Mabul? I found 1. Sipadan Water Village 2. Borneo Diver/Mabul 3...

Hi kraken: I went to Dumaguete in Feb. this year. The dives was nice, but didn't get a chance to do the "pier". Technically it is not off limits anymore but in practical sense it is, since the pier authority only allow diving when there is no ship in dock (imagine your chances)... We were...

Hi Kraken: Thanks for the input. I thought no one was going to respond to this thread and that led me to think this place is a bit "off limits" or unknown to other divers. Therefore, I swtich my destination options to Bohol or Sipadan. I really want to do Sipadan but some of my friends also...

Dear Friends: I was looking at the Asian Diver Mag. and there was an article on Mantangale Alibuag Dive Resort's house reef; its house reef supposely to be very nice. Have anyone been there before? Any info is welcome since I am palnning a dive trip in May. Thank you and I look forward to...

Yes Jasmijn is a very good instructor. Nice and patient; she even got my gf diving again. That is amazing!!! However, my pics are not much to show for.... Will practice more next time.

Hi All: I got back from Dumaguete exactly 1 week ago. The diving was nice, lots of intersting stuff such as ribon eel, nudibranch, rays, frogfish and more. But the best one was on my last dive of the trip in the santuary----- We saw a gigantic turtle. That was the highlight of it all. the...

Hi Guys: Thank you very much for your valuable inputs. I am leaning toward the Mosquitos now. So before I make my purchase; i just want to make sure that no one has hear any major flaws on this watch. Thank you again!! Jeff

Hi Guys, I am deciding on which computer to get.... I got it down to 3 kinds. 1. Oceanic Versa Pro 2. Suunto Mosquitos 3. Aeris Atoms 2 From my understanding the Mosquistos has a normal sports watch feature so I don't have to wear a seperate watch when I am on a dive trip. Does the...

Thanks for the link. I had just checked with Atlantis and i believe the oil spill is in APO reef not APO island which is quite a distance from each other. However, I would like to thank you for your help, I appreciate it. Jeff
