I'm trying to map out a trip to the FP for the beginning of August for a little over 2 weeks. For the Tuamoto portion, I don't think I'll have time to do Fakarava, Tikehau, and Rangiroa without losing too many dives to travel days. There's no way I'm skipping Fakarava, so how would y'all compare...

Are there any dive ops there that have multiple tank pickup locations along the island like they do in Bonaire? We'll be staying a little to the north, and, at least by looking at a map, it seems like all of the dive shops are to the south. Thanks in advance,

As a redirected follow up from my other post, I'd love to hear from anyone that has dove the Egyptian Red Sea in late March. After seeing numerous websites stating that "March to May, and Sept-Nov" are the best times of the year to dive there, I'm now reading on here that, for the most part...

After having to cancel two other planned destinations, I'll be trying out the Red Sea in mid to late march. I'll be doing two back to back liveaboard trips, and am having a difficult time deciding which two areas to choose. Well, better put, since there seems to be three "areas", which one NOT...

Sooooo what exactly does this mean? If I’m reading this correctly, this only affects Mexican airlines and code-share partner flights, correct... NOT my United flight to there on Friday, for example, correct? FAA Downgrades Mexico to Category 2 Country, Blocking New Flights

I haven't done a trip report on here in several years, but since a lot of people are wondering what things are like, I thought I'd take the time to do a brief one from my perspective. As for pictures, since reducing the image size to post them on here is such a pain in the butt, here's a link to...

I read through a couple of older threads discussing the two main dive ops there, but I'm posting again PRAYING something has changed since. I'll be there in November and was planning on doing 4 days of as much diving as I can. But from what I'm reading the reviews on SC and BD, I wouldn't touch...

I went once last May and didn't get to do Bats or Cats (despite websites saying otherwise, I was told they were "out of season" when I arrived), so I'm looking to take another swing at things with a better time of year. Every search I do tends to bring up different recommendations, though. Hell...

Ok, so, long story short, I went to the airport tonight ready to begin the 2 1/2 week dive trip I had planned for the Philippines, which I booked nearly a year ago. NOW, I'm on a flight to Bangkok with no reservations and no idea what my plan is when I get there. Thanks coronavirus!!! I normally...

Hey everyone, I'll be trying out Costa Rica for the first time at the end of May and have settled on the Coco area to stay (VRBO condo). I've read great things about several dive ops (Rich Coast, Rocket Frog, Sirenas), so I was hoping y'all could help me narrow things down. Things I'm looking...

I'll be heading back to Utila in November. It wouldn't have been my first choice for months to visit there (or 2nd, or 3rd...or even 11th, probably), but a buddy of mine had a trip booked and invited me along, so I figured what the heck. With the heightened chances of rain, I want to make sure...

I'll be doing my first blackwater dive in Kona in about a week and a half. I've read several articles about photography tips, but most of them are somewhat DSLR specific. Any tips for using a compact on these dives would be greatly appreciated! I have a G7Xii (only my 2nd trip with it) with...

I finally upgraded my gear, and will be trying out my G7x ii (Fantasea housing) with two YS-D2's, which are also new to me, next week in Bonaire. I've read the "recommended settings" article, and it closely mimicked the settings I would use with my old camera, so hopefully the learning curve...

I wasn't sure where to post this, but if anyone is looking to make a big purchase, Diversdirect.com has a 25% off one item coupon code. This works for cameras, strobes, gear, computers, you name it (minus the below exclusions). I saved $145 on a YS-D2 today. Promotion ends on the 15th. Christmas...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GUPZOLI/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=IHOFB2PTAK9FD&colid=EKGMRYSK4GF4 Anyone ever used this? I'm thinking about upgrading to a G7X ii and am trying to figure out what lenses to go with, and the best way to attach them to my rig. This could be a decent option, especially...

Just got back today from a week in Bonaire using the DC2000 and dual SeaDragon strobes. A few people on here had been looking for sample pics with it, so here's a link to my photos from the trip. Bonaire - May 2017 - pillpusher

I have premier access, so I'm not overly concerned for myself. But I met a couple this week that are wondering what time to arrive at Flamingo tomorrow for check in. I remember it being well before the flight, but I just came across this saying three hours: (???) United’s Bonaire-Houston Flight...

Just got this email. Good for only 4 days. Get on it. Looks like I may be booking this trip to RA sooner than I thought.

Relatively new and absolutely gorgeous boat. After much deliberation, I think I have sold myself on it for March of next year. Anyone here ever been out with them? Any feedback would be appreciated. http://www.samambaia-liveaboard.com
