    Sinus vs Migraine - Headache during dives, but it will go away afterwards.

    I had same problem in the past, started to have headach in the middle of the dive and after the dive, then misteriously it went away during the surface interval. Do you smoke? I got over my issue by 1) not going up and down underwater, even if it is deep, meaning after I decend, I slowly started...

    Trip report Sep 2014: Palau Aggressor - VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

    Divers I usually see touching the corals are those experienced divers with big fat cameras or experienced divers who go through the hole in the cave or go through some structures in the ship wreck following the DM. During this specific liveaboard, the smallest number of dives logged at the...

    Palau or Philipines? Been to Solomons and wonder if anything could beat that?

    I have been diving in South East Asia for a while, many times in Phillipines (as the flight is only a few hours from where I live) and Indonesia only once in Bali. I have seen big stuffs in Bali like Mora Mora (only during the summer July, August) and Mantas but not whale shark. You can see...

    Yeah, I agreer with you. I should not be disclosing further information about this. Case closed. I just thought it was a bit weired for the management to say they will come back to me with the results of the inspection and then after I emailed them that the name I originally mentioned in the...

    Trip report Sep 2014: Palau Aggressor - VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

    Thanks all for the comments. For the record, of course I didn't whine and complain about the situations to the crew members on the boat or rarely talk about it with other guests in an open space. I have just observed it and left it behind until I have returned back home and after a few weeks...

    Trip report Sep 2014: Palau Aggressor - VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

    Update as of today: I did not receive any reply from last week (last week, Larry from Dances said "He had briefly spoken with the two crew members regarding your letter. Their opinion of the events differ from yours." and did not mention specifically which incidents their opinions differ...

    Trip report Sep 2014: Palau Aggressor - VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

    My original post made a mistake of names. My friend on the boat just corrected me the dive master I was talking about was "Randy" NOT "Andy". Andy is a dive master/photographer on tropical dancer supposed to be a really nice guy. I corrected above as well. ---------- Post added October 1st...

    Trip report Sep 2014: Palau Aggressor - VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

    This is a trip report regarding my diving trip I have done recently in September 2014 with Palau Aggressor II. The boat is relatively small and a bit old but that is compensated by the cleanness and the good food. I have done really cheap liveaboard in Thailand so I can live with the Palau...

    Advice needed: Komodo or Tubbataha liveaboard in the beginning of May?

    Hi all, I'm debating these two places for a liveaboard in the beginning of May. I like Pelagics - sharks, mantas, whale sharks, etc. The thing is if I take up Tubbataha, I have to accept the ok-standard boat with my limited budget. Seems like komdo has more options in terms of liveaboards and...

    Wide angle lens for Canon G15 or upgrade to Canon 7D?

    Hi everyone, I have a Canon G15 with the Canon underwater housing (WP-DC48) and been using G-series for some time now. I am now considering either to mount the wide angel lens (wet len) on top of the WP-DC48 or upgrade my Camera to Canon 7D with Ikelite housing. Canon 7D's price has come down...

    Flight between Konor (Palau) and Yap

    Hi everyone, I just noticed that the flight between Konor (Palau) and Yap only runs once a week by United and no other airlines fly between these locations directly. I was planning a week of liveaboard in Palau and was trying to combine Yap for 4 days. I think a whole week of Yap would become...

    Palau in late August or early September?

    Thanks Deep Water Dan. Glad to know that I didn't pick the worst time of the year for Palau livebaoard. Everyone says Palau is an amazing place to dive, especially the famous Blue Corner, German Channel, and Ulong Channle, and would be a bummer if the storm would hit on the week while I will be...

    Anyone going to Yap on the last week of August or second week do September?

    Hi everyone, I am planning to do the Yap trip combined together with a week of Palau Aggressor II (starting 31 August). I am planning to stay for 4 days in Yap either before or after the Palau liveaboard. Since I am traveling by myself, would be great if I could dive with someone who will...

    Palau in late August or early September?

    Hi everyone, I'm going to do Palau Aggressor II starting on 31 August for a week of a liveaboard. But after some research, I found out that the summer is not a good time to do diving in Palau and if I get unlucky due to the weather, the boat won't take you to the famous dive sites, only take you...
