Very true. Providenciales has great beaches, lush reefs, vertical walls, sharks, and few crowds.

This thread surprised me. As a California diver, I assumed that by "bugs" you meant lobsters

Good try. It's "durak!"

Please do. I'm really interested in how this new resort turns out.

While on the subject of Rangiroa, I heard from people that Rangiroa diving is pretty hard. How much truth is there to this? Is the diving fairly shallow, or are most of the sites deep?

Thanks for telling, that definitely makes my must-do list for this summer. It's great that San Diego is getting another dive boat.

Creepy

Congrads. I did a Santa Barbara Island trip on that boat in June and loved it. Enjoy your dives.

I've never been to Grenada but I just left Providenciales, Turks and Caicos yesterday. It was an awesome trip. I stayed at the Ocean Club West (not all-inclusive) and dove with Caicos Adventures, a solid, well run dive operation that does all of the best sites. Turks and Caicos diving is a...

I love big black sea bass as much as the next socal diver, but I also love diving the Caribbean. The Turks and Caicos were great for huge gr:D uper when I went there last week. Those Nassau groupers are so friendly, they let you scratch their chins and they follow you around begging for...

Well, there are some people who have a different view on this issue: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn6763 . A while ago, I contacted the Dr. Ben McNeil referenced in the article via e-mail. At that point, he seemed to agree with the article that severity of future coral bleaching is...

It's probably too late now, but have you considered doing a referral? You can do your book work and pool work in your home town and the check-out dives at your destination.

Well, were this socal, I'd say it was a leopard shark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_shark , but i don't think they get those in the Galapagos. Close relative maybe?

It's all fun and games until the government confiscates your freshly caught lobster for the good of the revolution... And ships you off to Siberia to go ice diving without a drysuit or a tank.

The man's right. Plus, I wouldn't risk it with a trigger-happy air marshal. Pretty funny though

If you're a fan of big stuff, the biggest stuff I've ever seen were to 7, yes, 7 mantas on a night dive off Kona. I did the dive two night in a row and was disappointed when I only got 6 mantas the second night. Those were my two favorite dives EVER. I loved my trip to the Big Island, but...

Ocean Frontiers is indeed awesome, haven't used Tortuga Divers.

The Spectre is great. It's a very well run dive boat, great crew, great captain, great site selection, and most of all, great BBQ chicken. I thoroughly enjoyed my Anacapa trip with the Spectre. http://calboatdiving.com/

If you would prefer to stay on Grand Cayman, the best choice would be Ocean Frontiers and either Compass Point or the Reef Resort. The East End of the island, where Ocean Frontiers is located provides access to GC's best sites. The Reef Resort is downright luxurious at a great price, and Compass...

Great news! Apparently Bamboo Beach in Fiji has re-opened under new management and a new name, the Nananu Beach and Dive Resort. Has anyone been there and can anyone give it a definitive :D or :shakehead . What dive operator does it use, how are the accommodations/food, etc. It's supposed to be...
