I'm absolutely exhausted after returning last night from our trip on the Maldives Siren. What a fabulous trip blessed by the appearance of the mantas-twice!- at Hanifaru Lagoon. Reportedly the rangers hadn't seen them all season until our visit. Must go sleep now.......

We're getting really excited about our upcoming LOB. We'll arrive approximately 30 hours before embarkation and will need to spend one night at a hotel. Kinda thinking about Traders Hotel simply for their pool to help our jet lag. Another place, which is very different, is Sala Boutique Hotel...

a couple of years ago our B&B owner on Bonaire told us about the spawning ostracods (sea fireflies), best seen 3 days after the full moon 40 minutes or so after sunset just past the reef drop off; turn *off* all dive lights and watch the beauty of tiny little sparkles rising from the reef like...

counting down to our first Indo trip next month. 5 days on Bunaken then another week on Lembeh. Yes, we will try to do as many night dives as possible. Besides lounging by the pool with a Bitang, which above-water activites are worthwhile diversions? Volcano trekking? Nature preserve? Village...

Hi-- I've been looking to make a first trip to Indonesia. Found some good airfares on Singapore Air from Houston IAH to Manado. The flight is routed from Houston to Singapore via Moscow's Domodedovo airport. Has anyone had any experience flying through? Do flights have a higher chance of...

I've still got Post Bonaire Depression from a recent return. A jaunt to Maui is planned for October. Now I'm looking ahead to the Next Great Dive Trip, hopefully in the January, February, early March time frame to keep the winter blues away. Maybe Bequ, probably not Taveuni during rainy season...

We've got 8 people traveling to Bonaire in early July. It's loosely a group since we are staying at a couple of different places but will try to coordinate dive & activities while there. I realize how spoiled we have gotten with our omnipresent cell phones at home, but what to do while traveling...

Hi Tobin-- thinking about getting a pad for the BP, not that the plate has ever been uncomfortable. The pad might be nice for upcoming shore dives. I've got the short SS plate. Can you recommend a brand that will fit the DSS plate? Didn't see any on the DSS site.

Has anyone stayed at Limestone? (Curacao Limestone Holiday). I've only stayed at Habitat so am not very familar with the east end of the island. We'll have some newbies with us who wanted shore diving with The Dive Bus, so the west end wouldn't be practical. Thanks.

Looking for a new reg. The light weight and compact size of the new Aqualung Mikron is a definite plus. So far I'm only seen good comments on the board and media. Has anyone had a chance to try it and didn't like it? I only do warm water recreational diving.
