anyone else reconsidering travel to Maldives? US State Department website has Maldives at Level 4 "do not travel" citing terrorism attacks at travel hubs and even remote atolls

Azalea liveaboard looks top notch (don't mind the expense for our 4oth anniversary), anyone traveled with them recently? Also, where they go would it still be enjoyable for just snorkelers?

In October we will be taking a two week trip to the Maldives. The number of atolls and resorts are overwhelming. We are x-divers but strong snorkelers. Like 5 star comfortable and safe places to stay. Would love to be able to see whale sharks, manta rays, other sharks, etc. I know there's...

just found out LCBR are all sold out already for 1st two weeks in October :(

Thanks, we're both vaccinated and our trip dates are 1st two weeks in October, just learned Southern Cross is closed those weeks

Hoping to spend our 40th wedding anniversary on Little Cayman. Can someone comment of Southern Cross Resort which a friend has recommended? Also, what are the best snorkeling spots on the island accessible from shore. We're both strong and confident swimmers. Favorite above water activities...

No you have to experience the flight onto Saba!!!

So we're planning for a trip in October 2021. It's our 40th wedding anniversary. Both of us like to hike and are strong and confident snorkelers (former divers) spending more time with faces in the water than on the beach plus prefer to steer clear of high traffic tourist like activities. Would...

So we're heading to St. Martin on the French side and doing the AirBnB thing (short birthday trip (Friday to Tuesday in April). Due to medical reasons one of us can no longer dive but we are strong swimmers/snorkelers. Any beach entry places that might be decent? Any dive operators that do...

Was planning a long weekend to DR for my wife's birthday, but have concerns by recent post by US State Dept. as follows: Exercise increased caution in the Dominican Republic due to crime. Violent crime, such as robbery, murder, and sexual assault, is common. The wide availability of weapons...

Can someone provide a list of the best places to snorkel via shore entry in Bermuda? We'll be staying at 2 different villas in the Flatts, Devinshire and Paget areas but willing to travel. Going 1st 2 weeks in August. Favorite bars/restaurants too maybe!

So we're probably going to Bequia since it seems "easier" to get to than some of the other smaller islands. Anyone know the best snorkling spots? Bets places to stay/eat? Unfortunately not able to dive this trip :depressed:. Going mid-February some time.

Thanks for all the info...major blow hit us recentl;y however. My wife had a seizure and it looks like diving will be out for quite some time to come. Looks like it'll be just carefully supervised snorkeling from now on. BTW are there any services between Carriacou and Bequia if we wanted to...

I just had a thought that wouln't require a choice. Anyone know of a sailing live aboard diving charter outfit in St Vincent/Grenadines?

Trying something new for February 2015. Keep seeing conflicting opinions on the diving, reef, and fish quality. My wife and I enjoy recreational diving and love to snorkel on the surface intervals. We look for the out-of-the-way places and don't go for the cruise ship/resort crowds. We're...

I've been planning to visit this island for a while. Can someone address the #2 question some more for all I've seen is Castle Comfort in the threads. Any more upscale places? Any other dive ops to recommend or stay away from?

Thanks Bryan, we're going to make decisions day by day as the time comes. water temps nice enough to leave the wetsuit behind and save on weight? snorkeling I usually just use a UV type rash guard anyway but in case i'm up for sucking tank air

We were all set to go in 2 weeks and I've been side-lined with a nasty back issue (L3/L4 disk extrusion causing quite a femoral nerve pain affecting my left thigh.) Going for my second epidural steroid this Wednesday, but even with that carrying b/c, weight belt and tanks are probably out of...
