We have done both pre and post pandemic. IMVHO the driving is a lot better in Sharm, the national parks in Sharm have outstanding diving. There are also outstanding historic wrecks like the Thistlegorm and the Dunraven. OW divers should really be fine there. But Hurgada is also great.
My understanding is that because you had what we call a provoked PE, i.e. there is a reason for it, it was small and you are relatively young and fit, your risk of a recurrence is low. Be sure to get a medical from a diving doctor and consider a second opinion if you get a negative answer from...
Sorry to hear that you had such a bad time. But why did you have two large suitcases and a carryon ? I get a full set of equipment, a couple of cameras and a few sundresses and all my toiletries into one medium sized dive bag. I am sure that one of the youngsters around would have helped if you...
I have a SeaLife SeaDragon 3000 lumen with a single arm and tray. I add my TG on some dives or use the GoPro by itself. I also have a smaller SeaLife arm to use the GoPro onto of the TG housing. It’s a brilliant setup. There are some. Dry good dive torches that you attach to your Selfie Stick...
I am not certain whether or not you will have to fly between Puerto Galera and Coron via Manila or whether or not you can transit by boat and land. If you have to fly for any part of your trip then definitely do only two stops. You might be pleasantly surprised by PG. I did 13 nights in Anilao...
If you ask random strangers on the internet a question, you should expect a range of views, some of which you may not agree with.
Using the services of a dive shop will support the numerous staff they employ, who support numerous family members.
I really really enjoyed Ambon, and met one of its super super rare psychedelic frog fish in 2019. For sure it’s very very messy, but the macro is awesome. Alor is definitely better again.
The Philippines is a poor country and salaries, and tips, of dive professionals are an important source of income. Good macro guides will see stuff most normal people would have no chance of seeing. It is also very nice getting to know your guide.
I love my Hero 11, am no expert having had it for less than a year. But I love the horizon lock feature with 4K, as well as the wonderful hyper smooth boost.
WoW, congratulations on organisons your lives so well that you have been able to do and enjoy this fantastic trip.
And thanks for sharing such an excellent trip report.
My husband and I do Emperor boats and on one occasion in the Maldives there were only 9 divers and they guides said that the unoccupied rooms were being refurbished, so the several singles had to share. March will be the low season.You could contact the company and ask if they could comp the...
It was either at at the Jetty or Blue Lagoon on early to mid February, and was for a lot of the dive. 99 percent certainty means that there is a 1 percent chance that the event will occur. If thee was a 1 per cent chance that I would win the lottery, I would buy a lot of tickets.
It is really not acceptable to bring a diver with more than half a tank up after 40 minutes. I did two dives with a foreign- owned dive shop in PB some time ago. The guide tried to flog me Nitrox. I then found that my dive group comprised two very large gentleman who had about 30 dives each...
As a new GoPro owner I have been watching what other divers are using and seeing their results.
On a Maldives LOB several divers had the little lights from Amazon, Suptig and similar. They seemed to be happy with them, especially for big things. With a macro lens for little things, one of our...
