    D200 Housing

    B&H may have the body for "only" $2010 but they offer NO support whatsoever! Buy from a reputable dealer and they'll take care of you... I moved up from a D100 housing to a D200 housing earlier this year and absolutely love it! Blake at Aquatica can answer any questions you have along the...

    Galapagos or Saba

    If cost is similarm for you, someone is WAAAAAAY overcharging you for Saba! Galapagos has one of the highest costs per dive in the world but it's worth it! Galapagos Marine Park Fees alone are astronomical! If you have enough experience to deal with cooler water & strong currents, do...

    Most magnificent underwater topography / geography sites

    Wow, forgot I wrote this months ago! Raja was good...not fabulous, but good. Because of the weather, we were only able to dive the northern area around Waigeo....check out my trip report on my website....www.divetravelservices.com for details & photos! I liked Manado, specifically Lembeh...

    Maui or Costa Rica?

    Diving in Costa Rica is extremely good, but not pretty! Vis can sometimes be 10-20'. My husband once had a stingray swim right into him because neither could see the other! On the other hand, the size of the schools of fish are huge and Bat & Catalina Islands are really known for the...

    Turks&Caicos or Saba ???

    I've been to both....and actually prefer Grand Turk over Provo (same reason as above...longer boat rides if you're Provo-based) but also loved Saba. You would still have the additional plane ride if you did either Saba or Grand Turk since you'd most likely be flying into St. Maarten and then...

    Muck Dive; Lembeh vs Milne Bay

    I'm so glad we are all essentially in agreement on this subject !! That being said, what I'm looking for when I dive is the "most bang for my buck" and to me, having all the critters in Lembeh in easy distance with easy diving works well. I did Raja earlier this year and it was good...

    Muck Dive; Lembeh vs Milne Bay

    I agree with Scubashooter....very different! If you loved Lembeh last year because of the small critters, go back....I haven't found anywhere else in the world (yet) that has so many in such a small area........there are a few great "muck" sites in Milne Bay but you won't find nearly the...

    Beaches Turks & Caicos or Sandals Jamaica

    When you stay at ANY all-inclusives and the diving is included, you get a mixed bag of divers.....you can have "resort course" divers on the boat, brand-new divers and experienced divers....if you want higher quality diving, you'd be better off booking with an indepedent operator. Also, the...

    Travelling Safely to Indonesia

    Hi Dave, I've been to both Indonesia and Malaysia over the past three years with "travel warnings" in place the whole time. We're heading over to both N. Sulawesi & Eastern Indonesia (Raja Ampat) this weekend. There are also US travel warnings out right now for travel to Cancun because of...
