We stayed at Habitat in 2004. Took them up on the boat dives. 80% could have been done from shore. I think most of the boat moorings we're within 50 yds of the shore. There we're a few nice spots with difficult beach access, but there is plenty to dive there from shore. The house reef at...

So we're headed to Kona in June for 10 nights. We're looking to do some boat and shore diving. We're staying at the south end of Alii Drive. Looking for a six pack operator that leaves out of Keauhou Harbor. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also any leads on shoredives/info is greatly...

Fuzz, wait til you try Monastery in Monterey. You're feet will actually sink into the coarse sand. It's a much steeper beach than many in SoCal too. You're in head high water in less than 10 yds. I recommend inflating your BC doing a beach entry to prevent ending up underwater without a reg...

RH, Sorry to hear about your delay's. I'd love to hear which you prefer when you get back. BLR or Maravu. Maravu was on my shortlist for a honeymoon in 2003 which turned into 2 weeks in Belize. Would also would like to hear about your SP 350 set-up as I'm outfitting the same camera before I...

http://www.captainaquas.com/ Located in the East Bay, Hayward and Dublin. The Hayward location is about 15 miles from Oakland. They do a pool version of discover scuba. You may find a shop in Monterey (2 hour drive) that will do a discover scuba in the ocean. I don't know how hooked you...

Greetings. Blancaneaux lodge is on the mainland. About 1.5 hours inland from Belize City. It is not on Ambergris Caye. I stayed at a nice place on Ambergris in 2003 called Portofino. It's nice and quiet, about 6 miles by water taxi from San Pedro (town on Ambergris Caye). Feel free to PM...

Thanks for the tip. We will definitely visit a village. My wife is an elementary school teacher so this will really hit home with her. She would love nothing more than to give these types of gifts.

My wife and I are making our first trip to Fiji in June 2007. I think we have narrowed our choices down to Beqa Lagoon or Wananavu. I'd love to hear a compare/contrast of the two from folks who have been to both. Which has better diving? What are the group sizes? Which has the better shore...

My apologies. I didn't know if you we're disagreeing with his first point or just saying he had gone too far when asking me to pay extra. Just seemed like one minute I'm asking if the coup will have much effect, the next I'm supposedly trying to take advantage of an unfortunate situation like...

Really? Maybe I could get a better deal there than Fiji? :joke: No worries. Sounds like my kind of people. :D

Jeez. 4 hours after the Tsunami... that is a bit harsh. I really don't feel like I was looking to gain anything at someone else's expense. We just want to go to Fiji. It's not like there will be fighting in the streets of Suva with death and destruction and I'll be enjoying my holiday on...

Good to hear that it's a life goes on situation. It's a shame that so much business will be lost. It looks like we're making the trip. Regarding the good deals, I'm not trying to pay anyone less than they deserve. Please understand it will cost my wife and I $6,000US for 8 days of diving...

Thanks for the replies. So far, so good. But now I'm thinking perhaps I should wait a month or so to see if I can get a better price if bookings start to drop. My plan so far is to head to Wananavu and Bligh Waters. Did anybody out there find exceptionally good deals after 2000's coup?

Bula! So what's up with this military coup? I am planning a first time trip to Fiji in June of 07. I haven't booked just yet. I guess the prudent thing to do is take a wait and see attitude. Are there any locals on the board? Is this something that should blow over within a few months? Of...

Thank you both for the wealth of information. It definitely helps with our decisions. Speaking of things that help make a decision... I just got an emial back from the Reef Resort. Check out the rate changes to the Reef Resort for Summer 07. Summer 06/07 rates Studio Suite $175/$205...

OK. I've read through what seems like a thousand posts and I have a few questions. I'm planning a trip to the Grand Cayman for June 23 - July 2. This will leave me 7 full days to dive taking the last day off. My understanding so far is the best diving on GC is the North Wall and the East...

What's up DD? Hope you're doing well. I stayed at Casa Mexicana in June 05 and the breakfast was fantastic and included. Many days we did not eat lunch or need a cab to get to dinner so that may even things out a bit with Caribe Blue or Casa Del Mar. With budget in mind I'd pass on the ocean...

Let's go Sharks! We're young, fast, and we may have the best first line in hockey this year.

Congratulations Jeff an Mia! We wish you all the best in the years to come. We should have some news for you guys soon, 10 days to go...
