Hi, all. I have planning in the works for a big trip I mentioned in another thread, but I have a specific question as I narrow things down, and thought a more specific thread might be beneficial. I will be in Indonesia from mid-June to mid-August of next year, and am planning to do an IDC and IE...

My dad REALLY wants to try diving. He is 67 and in relatively good health/fitness, but he does have a few issues including some congenital vascular issues. His doctor will sign the medical clearance and tells him he should be fine as long as he doesn't go to deep, but frankly I'm not satisfied...

I am planning some massive dive travel (a gap year in a career change) and it's likely I will be diving a wide variety of temps. I'll be in Equatorial waters diving in 80+ F but I also am likely to be in Southern Africa in summer (when diving conditions are supposed to be great but in the low...

Hi all. I am planning a year long travel and am hoping to do some volunteering. I am primarily thinking about Philippines and Fiji but I'm open. I also read about blue ventures in Madagascar and that sounded interesting. More details about my trip outline (and a lot more questions) in this...

Anyone know anything about this organization? I'm thinking of trying to do some volunteering in the Philippined and found this organization. Reviews on Facebook are all very positive. Full description of my upcoming travels (with lots of other questions) in this thread: Help me plan my...

Hope this is ok but I posted this in the general travel discussion forum and thought I'd link it here because I have a lot of questions about Indonesia and I thought some of you with experience there may be more likely to see it from this board. Thanks in advance for any advice!!! Help me plan...

Hope this is ok but I posted this in the general travel discussion forum and thought I'd link it here because I am planning to travel to Tanzania/Zanzibar, Mozambique, South Africa, and maybe Madagascar, and I thought some of you with experience there may be more likely to see it from this...

Hope this is ok but I posted this in the general travel discussion forum and thought I'd link it here because I have a lot of questions about the pacific islands and I thought some of you with experience there may be more likely to see it from this board. Thanks in advance for any advice...

Hi, all. I haven't been on this board for awhile sadly, but I'm planning the trip of a lifetime and could use your help. I am planning a career change and as part of that, I am going to take a year traveling around Asia and Africa, getting my instructor certification (I will hopefully have...

I booked a last-minute trip for the Kona aggressor next week and I am still debating which wetsuit to bring (3mm or 5mm). I don't tend to chill easily, but I've also never done more than 3 dives in a day, and I understand I may chill more than I am used to. (And when I say I don't chill easily...

I just had a major work commitment go away, and I am looking to take advantage by hopping on a last minute getaway. I'm going on my own, and I've heard sometimes liveaboards have good deals for last minute travelers if there is room on the boat. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where...

I am thinking of going on my first liveaboard, and I've been looking at Australia, as I could pair it with a trip to New Zealand, where a family friend is currently living. (I know it's a long flight between the two, but I figure I could do both in a 2 week trip.) I'm thinking about a trip in...

I am thinking of taking a solo dive trip, and I thought a liveaboard would be a good option to ensure I'll meet people and have people to talk to. (Thinking fall of 2014.) However, I am overwhelmed with the number of options. So many places to go and things to see. I've been looking at...

I have an oceanic Geo 2.0 computer, which I purchased earlier this year. Sometimes I need to wear the extender wristband, because I dive in cold water with a 7 mm and gloves. Awhile back, the metal part on the wristband broke. Does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement? Are these just...

I am making a return trip to Ambergris Caye this year and am considering diving the blue hole. I fell in love with scuba during a discover scuba course in Belize last February, and I have not stopped diving ever since. In the last 6 months, I have my AOW, have logged 30 dives and I expect to...

I just booked flights for a long weekend in Turks & Caicos in August. I've been researching Provo, Grand Turk, and Salt Cay. Anyone have any advice on where to stay for a short trip and which dive operator to use? We'll basically only have two diving days, flying in noon Friday and leaving...

Hello, all. I am relatively new to diving (and brand new to this site) and am looking for dive log software to use with my Oceanic Geo 2.0 dive computer. I've tried Oceanic's OceanLog and DivePal, but both feel like they were designed in about 1987 and are not easy to use. Ideally, I'd like a...
