The news article posted by Supermanwoot (above) has been updated -- the diver's body has been found. I was also in Southport this weekend for a wedding and saw the search teams in action. Some of the groom's family said they saw the body floating by their rental house on the river, but at the...

FWIW, here's a video that shows the design, testing, and manufacturing process for Aqualung BCs: YouTube - How BCs are Made (No, I don't work for them, or any other scuba company...)

Wayne, I did a 3day/2night Similan Islands liveaboard trip with Wicked Divers a few weeks ago. Had a great time and did some wonderful diving. The DMs were friendly and safety-oriented. The food and companionship was great. The boat itself (MV Paranee) was clean, but it is not a luxury...

Yep, I saw the exact same thing when I was diving there a few weeks ago. I kept wondering where their regular ride was lurking...

So, how was the diving in St. Maarten? Did you dive with the new dive shop at Divi Little Bay? I'm headed there in a few weeks. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Can you please clarify this a bit? What's a "sacred heiaus"? And what is the danger? Car theft? Laval flow? I have no idea since I've never been to Hawaii. But I might be visiting soon and would like to stay out of trouble. Thanks.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but I would like to encourage you to consider skipping the cruise and traveling directly to your destination. You'll have more time for diving, you'll support the local economy, and you'll reduce pollution. Thanks. Cruise ship pollution - Wikipedia, the...

I'll chime-in with another vote for Anthony's Key Resort in Roatan. We've been there twice. My 10-year-old son learned to dive there last summer. He and my 7-year old son loved the Dolphin Camp, too. Many of the dive sites start at about 20 feet. You can stay at that depth or swim to the...

[Bump] Does anyone have any knowledge of the Carpe Diem liveaboard in the Maldives?

A friend of ours had a teenage son who said he wanted to buy a motorcycle. His Dad said he would let him buy a motorcycle in one week, if he agreed to one condition. The son readily agreed. The father's condition was that every day for the next week the father and son went to the hospital to...

Has anyone been on the MV Carpe Diem liveaboard in the Maldives? Any feedback, positive or negative, is appreciated. Thanks.

This thread has seen no updates since 2006. Has anyone been on the Felicia lately? Does is still have the exhaust issue? Surely it's been fixed by now, right?

Chris, Thanks for the additional info and help. I'll be in touch if I'm interested in that last spot on your trip.

A quick update: I have received an email from "Bob." He said he took the regulator that was free-flowing back to the dive shop where it had been serviced. They gave him a full refund, but he said he will not use that shop again for service. I told Bob about this thread and encouraged him to...

cmuljadi, Can you please provide more info on that flight from USA to Jakarta on Singapore Air? What city do you fly from in the USA? Do you have a link to more info, I didn't see it on Singapore Air's web page? Also, if my dive buddy backs out, I might be interested in that last spot on...

I also recommend Roatan, Honduras. Very nice reefs and a few wrecks with mild or no current. I've been to Anthony's Key Resort twice. They offer a dolphin program (training, snorkeling, and diving), a shark dive, and a great kid's program. Continental has direct flights from Houston to...

Thanks for your responses. However, I think my question remains unanswered: What's the difference between RA and PNG, and which do you recommend?

MisaC(the OP), lots of advice here. Have you decided where to go yet?

I'm currently investigating a liveaboard dive trip to celebrate my 40th birthday. I'm looking for blow-your-mind diving with really nice reefs and some big stuff, too. Not looking for wrecks or expert-only dives. I am trying to decide between Raja Ampat and Papua New Guinea. They're on...
