Happy to provide tips after my third time there. Don't want to be accused of advertising though so pm me for details. But in general diving was better around the new moon and slack water. Liveaboard not necessary, most dive sites are 15 mins from Kri island which is paradise itself. Some sites...

So I have finished my trip and after a slow start I have to say I have had some of the best dives of my life in the last month, two of them being in my top dives I have ever done with 480 dives and trips to French Polynesia, Galapagos, Palau, Komodo, that is saying something. I couldn't speak...

Thanks for your responses.

Just felt inside my ear going wet, but no pain, strange sensation. Ears kind of cleared the next day but after an hour snorkeling they felt a bit congested the next morning, dove yesterday no problems diving or equalising, today I cannot equalise so I will stay out of the water until it...

So last night I had a very sore throat at times and woke up with slight ear discomfort left side, both ears felt slightly swimmers ear, no throat pain and dived late afternoon today, equalise fine without pain but all of a sudden my right ear felt wet at twenty meters, no pain, can still...

I'm still here, you can still have some mind-blowing dives if you get the timing right. Blue Magic has been effected by a fishing net and Cape Cri is not what it was but I have still had some epic dives on other sites. The big school of bumperhead parrot fish 50+ has been fished during covid...

Hi all, Any hot tips for waterlogged ears?

Land based, 30c/ 29c Viz pretty decent Two epic dives today.

Just had another epic dive in R4, looks like I spoke too soon, hitting the dives right, two stunning dives today.

Just had a beautiful dive at Lau Lau which has restored some faith in R4.

Not quite but I've seen the whole of Kri from 3m to 30 packed like sardines before.

Which site did you see the huge schools at ?

Haven't seen fish soup yet and haven't seen huge schools of jacks etc yet But only six dives in so we will see, have seen sharks but not quite as many as usual. Time will tell.

So sad, I remember schools of 50+ here, haven't seen them yet :-(

It was during the covid lock downs.

Plenty more than that on the efficacy of sugar too. People should be allowed to say what they think as long as they are not abusive or rude, Anyway I hope this thread helps people as I'm sure it will.

How many times have you been? I hope you are correct. I'm not suggesting anything, the locals have told me what has happened, sites not close to islands got hit at night time by "pirates" selling the fish on. The extent of this damage is perhaps debatable, I hope you are right in your...

Did you think it was as spectacular as you have seen it before, I was here last time six years ago and it was much more action and fish.

Six dives into my diving at R4 and I have not been blown away yet. Something has felt a little off, worst fears confirmed as I've just been told R4 was hammered by pirates during covid. Time will tell how accurate that intel is but it seems to explain the current situation to me, anyone else...

Here we go again, I was very grateful the doc gave me advice, also not my fault if people are not aware of the power of other treatments, plenty of evidence to support the use of sugar. Also at the time all I had was sugar and betadine, nothing else at my disposal.
