    Gee I guess that was the "FAKE" Indo Siren I was on in 2012 & 2016

    Just Back From Lembeh And Ra - Airline Fees And Experience

    I also just returned from RA. I flew into Jakarta from the USA. US citizens no longer have to get a Visa if less than 30 days so unsure why you had to pay for one in Manado (but I just jumped to conclusion Boston= US citizen). I flew Garuda to Sorong out bound from Jakarta my bag was ~4 lbs ~2kg...

    S/Y Indo Siren (Raja Ampat) Reviews Wanted

    I 2nd Al Mitch. I dove her in Komodo in 2012 (was grateful for ALMitch pre kids review) & I am going again soon this time to Raja Ampat. The dive deck is well laid out & I like the drawer to put my small stuff like light/torch etc into rather than a basket under a bench. They label your gear &...

    Crystal Blue and Liquid Dumaguete trip report April-May 2015

    This is long overdue. In late April til early May I went to the Philippines & my first location was in Anilao . I stayed at Crystal Blue Resort for 10 days. My trip was organized by BlueWater travel and it was wonderful. Yes as people have remarked there are steps-lots of them. Many of the...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Now this is an informative post. Yes it is complicated & won't happen in the near future but we can always hope. I am not one who wants to take away the rights of those who fish from the bridge here. They aren't removing the critters we are talking about although sadly some are bycatch. I...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Shame on all you negative mudslingers, bashers of people with an idea to get others motivated to stop the taking of critters from BHB. All you have to say is I agree or I don't agree & if a petition gets started sign it if you agree. Some of you I know & I am surprised at your negative reaction...

    Trip Report - Anilao Dec. 7 - 17, 2014

    Thank you for the great report. I am going soon. Can't wait. Love muck dives. Trash is sad but some create habitats for critters & that is a plus side to the litter. I dislike it when divers remove the bottles & cans at my local muck site. I have returned more octos, spiders & nudibranchs than...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    I need to point out something that seems to be missed esp from the person who said this: ""Maybe he has to be referring to your son's EXTREMELY rude buzzing of that photographer trying to take a shot." How often do you dive BHB? If you knew it like I do the passage where he swam over the...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Critter handling aside I want to say I am impressed by his swimming skills & rather steady use of the Go Pro. No sand stirred so baby steps in the right direction

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    David Sanchez guides. And on Nov 8th he has one of his group get togethers. Not necessarily a guided dive just a group of friends diving together but the more eyes the better to spot things. Look for him on his Facebook page: Blue Heron Bridge Photography. You can also ask if he is available for...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Lol I was checking my camera not my computer. Worried until I gave Jenny the "do you hear that" signal. On the other hand if I had hung around the area instead of leaving I could have checked a critter off my life list. The Umbraculum is still on it & yet you on what your 2nd BHB dive saw one...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Sorry to maybe burst your bubble but I think you saw a mollusk,Vitrinella canaliculata so google: photo Vitrinella canaliculata. On the plus side rarely seen but has been lately at BHB . I have only seen them once a few years back but a friend reported finding a lot just recently. Very good eyes...

    Thank you for caring enough to post this & for gently guiding your boat away from the misguided divers as best you could given the circumstances.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Yes I could see how it wasn't bothered by your grip by how docile it remained. Even when you had to change hands & grip it in a different place. Yup not bothered at all. Certainly looked calm as it just reclined in your grip.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    The last night dive I did there were collectors. I saw them with 2 plastic nets & at first thought/hoped they were after lionfish. However, 2 friends on shore said they were collecting for their aquarium. They were asked to return said speciums but refused. Further stating one was a marine...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Don't waste your breath or typing skills. That video was minor compared to the disrespect he shows from separating mating sidegills to squeezing the rarely seen Umbraculum & chasing stargazers over & over again making them leap until they look exhausted. Some curiosity is common but his way of...
