I love Cabo Pulmo. I love staying there. I love the pace. I love being able to walk everywhere and how the idea of being stuck in traffic usually means a bunch of cows or goats crossing the road when you're heading to or from the airport to get there. I am of the firm opinion that if you want to...

This is a little late, but seeing how it's not too busy in this forum, I figured I'd make a post and share some photos. Before traveling, I tried using SB for research to find dive operators and I wrote to 3 initially. But I got no response. While bouncing around social media (instagram) I...

There are plans for a cruise ship port to be built in 2022 - a new one. The current one allows for more "boutique" ships to come in, but the new one will allow the mega-cruises into the area (about 150 p/year). That would most likely have a detrimental effect on marine life in the Gulf of...

Hello all! Well this is my first post in this area of the forums. I didn't think I'd end up traveling to this destination any time soon but it looks like I'm heading to Egypt around the end of August/begining of Sept 2019. I'm happy I'm here and I'm hoping to get some advice and information. My...

Howdy! First of all, thanks for all the recommendations and information for this Thailand newbie! I went to Koh Samui for a few days. Even though some people said to change locations, etc. This was not an option. I was traveling with a friend and we were staying with a specific chain of...

Hello all! So after asking for some advice from a couple of lovely community members here, and a bit of searching on my own with a bit of added luck, I was able to turn a week of diving in the Marianas into a very history-filled and enjoyable set of days. Even though most people suggested...

This really isn't a women's issue. This is more of a stupidity issue. Perhaps someone else will share it. But I thought those in here would like to enjoy the idiocy first: Famed surfer: Women's periods 'most common reason' for shark attacks Laird Hamilton, co-inventor of tow-in surfing...

Hello! So I've gotten a lot of help from you lot here on SB for a variety of locations and I'm hoping some of you can continue with the great suggestions! I'm headed to Saipan for the first time on April 25. I fly back home on May 1. I'm hoping to spend as much time as I can underwater. I'm...

Hello all, First time posting a new thread in your part of the world. I did take a look though your "Dive Sites" thread and though it's got a lot of info, it's still a bit difficult for someone completely unfamiliar with your state. The beach locations are great but I have no idea where any of...

I'm writing this as my bag is half-packed and almost ready for the drive back to the airport after week of diving in Cabo Pulmo again. I'm not pleased about it but I gotta get back to the grind so I can come back! Since my last visit in January, a new system has been implemented to limit divers...

Well I'm here! Got to meet Elbert too! My friend Richard got his 2 dives in and I ended up doing 2 more in the afternoon. But it was just be. I've gotta say, you guys have some pretty big lobster here! :shocked2: No night dive - not enough people. And it looks like no Turneffe Atoll either...
