    Just got back from two weeks in Tanzania and would like to report that I was overwhelmed with surprises, primarily good. Safari portion with Mark Thornton Safaris to Serengeti, Loliondo and Ngorogoro was the best I've done in Africa. I lived for two years in Malawi and did safaris in Tanzania...

    Mayan ruins on San Pedro?

    I read somewhere that there are some minor Mayan ruins on the north part of Ambergris Caye. Has anyone heard of this and are they worth visiting? I'd like to see some ruins (already saw Tikal back in 1993) but don't want to spend the whole day traveling. Nothing spectacular expected; just want...

    Help with names of divesites in Ishigaki

    Hi, I'm trying to fill in my divebook with the names of some divesites in Ishigaki. My dive partner at the time wrote down all the info but we had a falling out so I can't get the info from that route. I tried looking on the internet but couldn't get any maps in English that were helpful...

    Inspired by clownfish

    Who doesn't love clownfish? They're colorful, playful and naturally photogenic. They're one of my favorite creatures to photograph and whenever I pass by some playing around their host anemone, I can't help but stop to admire them and of course take photos. And I managed to get Asian Diver...

    Palau Photos (11/1-11/6) and trip report

    I finally got around to posting some photos from my trip to Palau, diving the Aggressor for a week. I'm hooked. A liveaboard, especially the Aggressor, is in my opinion the best way to dive Palau. We did 4-5 dives a day, mooring in a location next to Ngedebus Island, German Channel, Blue...

    Help saving .jpg in PS 6.01

    Ugh. Calling all computer literate scubaboarders! I just loaded PS 6/6.01 on my laptop and was experimenting with some photos. When it came time to save my work, I had only 3 choices of formats to save the file in: PSD, TIFF and RAW. Where did the JPEG option go? I had that plus a bunch more...

    Lau Lau Bay Critters

    Had some great dives yesterday on the East Coast of Saipan. A typhoon cut through a few hundred miles from here and the West Coast is undivable, so my dive buddies and I hit the rubble area of Lau Lau Bay where some of my favorite critters live. My favorite since coming here is a male pink...

    Dumaguete Loving

    Cozumel an inherently dangerous place?

    I've never been diving in Cozumel, but my impression is that there are quite a few diving accidents down there. Where do I get this impression? One of my former coworkers was paralyzed from the waist down after getting bent in Cozumel. He never talked about the circumstances, but his former...

    Dumaguete May 8-14

    Will be heading back to Dumaguete and Atlantis Dive Resort in a few weeks. Can anyone tell me anything about: 1) Expected air and water temperatures this time of year? Rain or sun more likely? 2) Fruits that will be in season. Strange request, I know, but I love tropical fruits and am...
