So, you all went and came back. I'm coming from China and trying to think of the least expensive place I can fly to and dive. Right now, it's looking like it's cheaper to fly to Miami and just hit Key Largo. But I've got a buddy there in Galveston who has a sail boat I want to ride on.

I see comments like this a lot, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. But lets make some assumptions. You've been diving, you surface from your last dive about 2pm and show about 24 hours on your no fly time. Now clearly, your next step would not be to go to 6000ft that afternoon, but the...

Well, the way the Anilao drivers drive, I don't sleep much anyway. But we are now up to at least two days in Tulamben, Wed just depends on when they can get us there, and if LIberty will take us right out. Th/Fri though we are ready for 2-3 dives. Does LDR have boat diving? Always nicer to...

Who did you dive with in Sharm?

Ha! I’m from the west, 2 hours is a Sunday drive, 4 a short trip, so it’ll be a haul to get to Sharm, but bouncing back up the coast will be a day trip

My wife and I, and a couple other diving friends are going to be in Jerusalem over Chinese New Year 2019 (first week in February). We tend to have to plan things out months in advance, but we are wondering what the best way and best locations to choose are for what will be likely no more than 4...

yeah, we get in at noon and figure the first day is a loss anyway. (didn't know Bali was so freakin big, man it takes longer to get from DPS to Tulamben than Manila to Anilao), so we are there just before dinner, can get gear set up and into our rooms, then dive the next day. For me I'm just...

we are going Sep 30-Oct 6, this is our make up trip after the volcano got our accommodations cancelled last year just a couple days before departure. it's mostly a dive trip; my wife has a friend who is a new diver going with us, so there is that to think about. Would you recommend to just go...

That's exactly why I'm asking. Lots of places have 'shore diving', but it is just as easy as grabbing a tank and going in wherever the entry points are. It's good to know that there is value in the guides and DMs above the surface other than being pack mules. I'm not too worried about a...

so, some of the replies were a little cryptic, largely because the question was wide open. But let me ask more succinctly for my plans and maybe that will enlarge the discussion a little. We are going to Bali in Oct, it's the Chinese holiday, we know that means we will be fighting that crowd...

So we are looking at October 1-7 time frame. We've checked tickets as far as Cairo, but from there whats the best way to diving locations, and for first timers to the Red Sea, what would you recommend.

deal, PayPal? or how to pay you?

I'm giving it some serious thought

sold?

I swear my fitbit just recorded me having a heart attack over this!!

Rich, I agree. There are critical points about different locations some of which were captured in the article, but just as a general example. Anilao and Puerto Galera are two great Philippine destinations, both which I'd recommend, but divers should understand the key differences in the two...

hahaha, this is going to be a blast, and let me thank everyone for all your help and suggestions. We are set. Flights - check Rental car - check AirBnb for 6 - check (really hard to book six in a hotel for $100 a night) Refresher location confirmed - check Dive Op - check (RR in Key Largo...

Cool, we will look out for you!

yeah, and we found an airbnb near Homestead, still a little drive, but it's big and roomy for six of us at the price of a hotel room for just two or three. So, we decided to drive.

well, that depends on where 29 and 27 sit. Since they were younger, we have referred to them as "soda" and "vinegar" because they can't sit still in a car without something happening, usually yelling, screaming, and fighting... I wish I could say they outgrew it. But otherwise, excellent idea...
