Thank you so much! Good practical details

Thank you!

I agree that there was good personal attention from the Dive Bus, including my checkout dives when I had an instructor and his wife all to myself. The shore dives that I happened to get (Atlantis two tanks, Pierbaai and Carpile) were underwhelming even by Caribbean standards. I should perhaps...

Go West - daily boat dives. Watamula today was outstanding. Coral Divers sent this in response to an email: "We also offer boat diving trips, snorkel trips and bubbles sunset trips. Boat Diving Trips: are 3 days a week starting Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Departure time is 8:30 a.m. Meet...

Thank you, Norwegian Cave Diver. That is super reassuring.

Well hmph Coral Divers advertises on their Web site that they do boat dives, but an email inquiry got no answer from them. Go West got back to me promptly and I am signed up for their Watamula day. Dive Bus was also prompt. They require a checkout dive at their Pierbaai Reef and offer to be my...

Staying in the hills between St Willibrordus and Fontein. Doubtless will have to rent a car.

Booked January 20-28 in Curaçao on a whim; now I need to find a dive op. - Mr T doesn’t dive any more, so I won’t be diving every day and will need guided dives, preferably with an op that attracts other reasonably experienced, reliable potential instabuddies - Boat dives preferred or else...

Latest from Asia Divers/El Galleon, for those with a larger budget and comfort needs: [stands well back in anticipation of Centrals’ scolding] We know and understand that a private water taxi can land up costing quite a bit so we have a transfer service from Manila which is...

You have read correctly. Sunflower Oasis has the best food and not insane prices. Sandbar is close to the dive shop and is right on the water. Turk’s Head Inn also had very good food. All have bars, though I think Sunflower was more the type of place where they bring the drinks to your table...

I’m liking your chances of making the earlier onward flight, then. Have a lovely trip!

Yes, your assumption about Provo airport is correct. One can get pretty swiftly through baggage pickup and customs if there are not too many other flights at once. Check this site for intel in relation to your flight: https://www.flightstats.com/v2/flight-tracker/arrivals/PLS The issue we...

hi mje, nice to hear from you. My trip was last year. Blue Water Divers were super nice and the instabuddies were more than fine. Apparently BWD has great taste in guests. Hope you are flying Caicos Express. The other airline was terrifyingly unreliable last year — the initiative and kindness...

I hesitate to suggest a time based on one trip nearly a year ago. The wisdom on TA was that much depends on how many other flights are arriving at the same time as yours — another question that tracker is useful for. In random other news, Bohio has closed.

Airportia.com. I did a quick check back on the TripAdvisor forum and the result is inconclusive as to whether ICA is back to their previous acceptable standard. You could try posting your own question there.

Very excited for you! Please come back and post a report afterwards

Nothing quite like feeling a THUMP as you work your way around Gato Island off Malapascua, and realizing there is dynamite fishing almost on top of you. Then finding a glass bottle with an unexploded stick inside…. I’d like to throw in a recommendation for Dauin. The trips to Apo Island offer...

Both Asia Divers and Arkipelago are in Small La Laguna, much quieter than Sabang. Took AOW 15 years ago with Asia Divers and most of the instructors are still there, if that says anything. There is a bit of a drinking culture. Arkipelago is a smaller operation but the Magsinos who run it are...

Once you have that car organized, please consider performing a public service by checking out the dive ops in Aurora. Talk about off the radar… but I see professionals’ photos that are amazing. Till you have the car, know that the Si-Kat bus and ferry service to Puerto Galera is back up and...

Yes, you will clear customs in NAIA. Fairly certain your bags will not be checked through.
