    Itinerary feedback

    Howdy! We are planning our first Indo trip. From research on these pages I have killed the idea of Lembeh to Raja. Everything I've read says to focus on Raja (Sorong to Sorong) as the transfer trips miss central/Southern areas. That said I am intrigued by the options that start in Ambon, hit...

    Revillagigedo Overload

    We've been back near a week now. An amazing experience on the Nautilus Belle Amie. Fantastic weather on a great boat catered by a crew that I can only refer to as a well oiled machine. Far exceeded my expectations and left us overwhelmed. We are still process the trip as a whole. Our first...

    Current Status of Bonaire

    Hello and Happy Holidays! I am looking for honest opinions from those with the history to reply. What is the current status of Bonaire? We visited Bonaire 3 times in the late 90's and 2000's. As with all dive venues we saw typical changes. One year eels everywhere. The next there were...

    Trip Report Yap trip

    Page 1 Sometimes things work in your favor. I was recently sent to Yap for work. Of course I schlepped along my dive and photo gear. Simply too far to go without at least one dive! As it turns out work ended quickly and I was able to get 4 dive days in. A total of 13 dives. The island, above...

    Split fin hate?

    So when did the split fin hate start? I remember, not all that long ago, if you were not buying into split fins you were just dumb, crazy, a bad diver. Now, if you're not jumping on the Supernova or slinging a Jet clone from the 60's then your insane! Are we all that marketing diven? I started...

    Belle Amie room?

    We were able to book our first liveaboard on the Nautilus Belle Amie. Finally going to Revillagigedos!!! We booked a standard stateroom. Both based on cost and I like the location on the boat. Low and central, near the center of gravity. The Superior Suites look considerably larger. I held...

    Socorro Comfort

    Hello, We are planning our first Socorro trip (first Liveaboard!) for 2024. I've read most of the post but am more interested in an experienced comparison. I am asking those fortunate enough to ride multiple boats to Socorro; What boat rides the smoothest AND is most stable on anchor? Also...

    Sea of Cortez newbie

    I never thought I would see the day but I have had enough of the Caribbean. I have been reading the reviews and questions related to diving in Sea of Cortez. More and more I am leaning toward Loreto (originally looking at La Paz) for our first Cortez excursion. Though still open to suggestions...

    Where are the Turks and Caicos?

    I see posts for Turks in Caicos in differing sub forums. Are the considered Bahamas? Bermuda? Greater Antillis? Maybe the Ops could clarify in the sub forums so posts are easier to search and data is more relevant? Or am I just that forum challenged?

    Reef damage in T&C?

    To begin with,I feel a guilty writing this after the damage the people on Turks and Caicos endured. We are scheduled for our very first live-aboard next year. We have a deposit on a stateroom on a chartered boat at Turks and Caicos. Being our first liveaboard and a big investment for us, I...

    Trip Report Coco View just getting better

    Last month we returned to Cocoview and I am happy to report they just keep getting better. The original concept was great for those of us that just want to dive. 4-6 dives a day. Great, lite load boats. Great front yard. Comfy rooms and great service without pretense. That concept still reigns...

    i450T review

    I have posted a few threads about battery kits but now I have spent some dives with these computers and feel comfortable reporting on them. The Aqualung i450T is simply awesome. It took some getting used, not clipping and unclipping the console when gearing up and down. But my wife and I got...

    Lacking i450T battery support

    I contact Aqualung in June to see how I could get a battery kit for a new i450T computer. I was told I need to buy through an authorized dealer. I did so the next day. I told the LDS that we had a trip in August so I wanted to order early to be sure I had a backup. I am now told the battery...

    Coco Villa

    Hello, We booked our Cocoview trip a bit late this year so our small group settled on Coco Villa. It comes with bikes and maybe? a golf cart. I cant find any detail on where it is from the main resort/diver lockers. Anyone have any detail on location/distance from the clubhouse and diver...

    Liveaboard specific check list.

    Hello all, My wife and I have been going on dive trips for many years now. We have it down to a science. We do not show up and think, "I forgot to pack........". That said we have finally bit the bullet and are going on our first Liveaboard trip next summer. My question is, when packing for a...
