Do not know what to say about the weather....always been told that in July, Aug and Sept the winds change, it is the wet season. The last 2 years their wet season has been their dry season. I'll probably go next Feb, March or April and chance it has been a fluke. Here is a web site for the...

This year I flew Asiana to Seoul and arrived in Koror at 4am. Thus did not dive on my arrival day. I stayed at my usual place the West Plaza Malakal which is like a motel 6 nothing special but nice people and basic room. Hung out at Kramers (some of the best food on the island) and Bottom Time...

I'm sure glad you ended up having a nice time and the weather got a bit better....thus I did not get a nasty gram...LOL....say hi to John, Jay and Cheryl for me....I'll post my report in a couple of days.

Great photos! I saw a couple of Wonderpus's in October that were either fighting or doing the mating thing....that was really cool....Did you see either the Blue Ringed or the Mototi Octopus? In your travels to Raja and you stop at the Sorido Resort say hi to Max for me.

I am headed there for my 12th or 13th trip in a couple of weeks. Only one year I have not Mantas. Devil Fish city is usually a guarantee to see them but a long way and not much else to see. The last couple of years I have been very lucky seeing them in the German Channel. 2 years ago had around...

Cat remember and let me know how you like the resort and the diving in RA! Also my mediocre pictures of the Mototi and Blue Ringes Octo's make it to the front page of Lembeh Resort web site! Lembeh Resort – Critters at Lembeh in North Sulawesi, Indonesia “In one word Exceptional!” -...

Sorry to see you did not have a good time.....There are many LOB's that come through the Papua area and only a few that know the dive sites and the right times to dive. The ones scorpiofish mentioned are the few I've heard about that are all excellent. I stay at a land based operation in Papua...

I do not like to spend an extra $35+ a night which amounts to $400-$500 per stay for a room I spend 10 hours or less in. Plus I never eat breakfast before diving...although they have a nice spread. Now when I go to Indo in Lembeh which is mostly all inclusive resorts i Do Not stay at Two...

You also missed the Asiana airlines that gets in at 4am from Seoul....Just booked it for 2012. I been going to Palau for the last 10 years and I have noticed just in the last couple of years the additional carriers. I've dove Sams for years and think they are great. This year I had friends stay...
