Hi, leaving for Port Douglas next week where we'll do a couple of day trips. I read here and there and I am undecided between Calypso and Poseidon. I am a PADI MSDT, my wife will only snorkel. Our little one (5 yo) will also snorkel. Which boat is most suitable for a 5 years old kid? Which...

thanks cbm32 and OnTheSpot. Heard of Blue Lagoon. Sold out :( I'll check the other places you recommend. Ta

This is a great thread. We are also a family with a 4 y.o. and are planning a diving trip in AUGUST (10 days) from Melbourne. Menjangan is a possibility, Nusa Lembongan is another one. My questions are: How long does it take to get to both locations from Denpasar? Traveling with a 4 y.o. adds...

Hi all, planning a holiday from Melbourne to warmer climates in August. 10 days or so. Travelling with wife (who will do a couple of dives) and 4 yo baby. I need a baby friendly place with good diving. Is that asking too much? Nice beach (a must) and possibly nice house reef. I am planning...

Hi all, sorry if there are similar posts but I have not been to the forum for a while and I fail finding the "search in a particular forum" function .... SO Going somewhere warm in mid June (from Melbourne) for 8 days. Never been to the great barrier reef (despite 4 years in the...

Hi all, sorry if there are similar posts but I have not been to the forum for a while and I fail finding the "search in a particular forum" function .... SO Going somewhere warm in mid June (from Melbourne) for 8 days. Never been to Vanuatu, so that's a possibility. Travelling with...

howdy, I dive with prescription lenses mask. As a consequence of lack of care and heavy usage they both have stains on the lenses. You know something like when you do not dry the crystal glasses after the dishwasher. It's not limestone, but possibly some kind of mineral salt deposit +...

OK, back from Bali ... sigh... we spent 3 days in Tulamben. Stayed at the liberty dive resort, which I can recommend. Quite and friendly. Unless diving with my wife I ended up diving 1 to 1 with the guide. They have nitrox available for free. The only negative remark is on the language skills...

Thanks to everybody. Flight booked. 18-29 August :) After long consideration we decided for only a few days in Tulamben and spend most of the trip at Gili Island. The beach looks definitely more baby&wife friendly (alas she used to be a diver, now .... sigh). I'll check info on Gili and...

Thanks again. Progress report: we decided to go in August, possibly second week. Now my concern is the baby. If, as Kathy mentioned, the beach is covered with tumbled lava rocks, the bub would not have much fun (she will be 21 months when we are there). Is there an alternative with sandy...

LOL, thanks guys. My bub is definitely a traveller. Almost 17 months (not years) but already 3 times to Italy (where the rest of the family is), Fiji, Tasmania .... possibly more than 100 hours flight already. I checked the 2 resorts and they look great. Good starting point, and for a change...

Howdy, I am planning a trip to Bali in Octoober. Going with wife and 2 y.o. daughter, therefore i need 1) a baby friendly place + 2) beautiful house reef Ideally 3) unlimited shore dives. I've been told that Tulamben should be a good choice and I read some posts confirming...

After 700 dives my Abyss is in urgent need of service ... I reckon the IP is a little high, as it freeflows from both primary and secondary second stage :shakehead: I do not have tools nor spare parts, therefore I need to send it to a service center. Could someone tell me where is the nearest...

Hi all, I want to get myself a new camera and housing. A friend of mine recommended canon powershot 950 (a.k.a. ixus 960) I went to a couple of stores: they did not have that one, and started showing me 10 other models (which honestly looked the same to me). No need mentioning that those...

thank you! Reached Melbourne finally, and today I got my long term visa. Next step is finding a place to stay, then I will start checking the diving scene ... ciao

So, I am moving from "around the world" to Melbourne. Does anybody know the tek diving scene there? I am a rec scuba instructor, nitrox instructor, SCR instructor. It's time to go tek now. Step by step, with no hurry. Who would you recommend? Any suggestion in welcome. Thank you ciao

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. ciao

Extremely interesting advice. I do not want to start a controversy, but ... do you really think I have not performed a SEARCH?? Maybe I have not found what I was looking for ... Why don't you say WHY do you prefer TDI courses? And compared to what other agencies? Why don't you write the...

I use it when I teach...

u can do a search with emule. else, go to scubatoys.com, u can download a software with lot of different tables. Very useful for comparisons. ciao
