I always wanted to visit the Philippines, read a lot about the different islands and spots, but recently I found a website of a liveaboard boat. AlishaDive.com | True diving experience! I confess I didn't know about liveaboard there but it seems exciting, as in the Red Sea I always choose...

I'm looking for a cheap solution to take under water my good old DSLR camera. Maybe somebody has a housing for Nikon D40x for sale in working condition. Thanks!

We spent a week in the Marsa Alam area, we had many great dives. Saw some hammerhead sharks at the Elhpinstone, turtles during a night dive in the Claudia, there were many smaller and larger animals. Our boat was the Cassiopeia, great crew, nice service... The water was 29 Celsius degrees warm...

I've visited a dive center near Rogoznica, one in Karlobag and a third one in Pag island. The weather wasn't perfect, it was colder and there was some raining as well, but as a diver I didn't care too much about being wet.:) The water temperature was 19 degrees in the south and 17 in Pag island...

A few months ago I bought this pair of fins, made by Semperit. It is called Hans Hass System, and I found similar fins only in very old dive equipment catalogs. Were they marketed in the US? I'm really proud of these and I wasn't brave enough to try them but I would like to know is it a rare...

We went to our yearly UW photo liveaboard to Egypt in August. As usual we made a shootout contest, and these are my photos in the competition. This year I made photo with single external flash, in sweeping panorama mode and 3 of them with natural light. Altough I don't like the Ikelite housing...

This was the third year when we organized our special underwater photography workshop in the Red Sea on the Cassiopeia boat. This time we chose the northern route, we dived 7 wrecks and as usual we announced a shootout contest for those who joined. We had a great time, the weather was nice and...

A friend organized a special photo trip to the Azores which are in the middle of Atlantic. He told me they needed a special permission for swimming with the sperm whales, and the work was really exhausting. Because it was so special trip and his photos are so spectacular I decided to share his...

I'm really proud because I earned the second place in an Adriatic shootout contest in the compact category. I feel my Sony DSC-H55 was a great choice, I love its panorama capabilities, and this time it helped me to make a nice portrait of a blenny. You can have a look of my photo here.

Last weekend my friends dived in a nearby lake to celebrate Christmas. They took a tree as well. The weather was nice, so the water was 5 Celsius degrees and the visibility was better than they expected: about 2 meters.:)

I really liked the 'how many countries have you visited' topic, and it was interesting to think about how much interesting destinations are waiting for me. However I'm happy because I've already visited and dived many countries. I think most of us has a favorite dive destination but who can...

On 21st of September a 37 years old man died in Budapest in the Molnar Janos cave. (This a 6 kilometers long warm water cave system in the heart in the capital of Hungary.) There were six qualified cave in the group, the report says it was an exploration dive. The maximum depth was about 45...

In my opinion one of the most overlooked features of the Sony compacts is the sweep panorama function. I found quite usable under water as well- for those who look for a cheap solution to make wide angle photos this is something to consider. (Certainly my DSC-H55 has some minor problems and the...

I live in Budapest and have a bit more than 400 dives. Hopefully I can help those who are interested in nearby dives: freshwater lakes in Austria, Croatian Adriatic, other Mediterranean destinations, the Egyptian Red Sea or Canary Islands. I'm the editor of a Hungarian diving website and wrote a...
