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...

So, I only have so many days of vacation in the US, but we want to plan a quick trip to FL to dive with my adult kids. Which means leaving SLC on a Wed night and being in Miami the next morning. I am a master scuba dive & divemaster, tec40, with 250 dives. I have my wife with about 120 dives...

was a wonderful experience. First, if you get a chance to go to SeaVentures and stay, it's spartan, but the food is good, the staff are A+, and the house reef is literally the best I've dove in my travels (which include Anilao, Puerto Galera, Kenting, and Saipan among them). But more to my...

Okay, I figured you lot would be the ones to answer this. I'm home in the US infrequently. Living overseas in Asia has it's benefits, I get to dive warm water, and exotic places like Anilao, Puerta Galera, Coron, Koh Lanta, Kenting, Sipadan, and Saipan to name a few, but each year I come home...

Okay, this is old news, the story has been out there for years, but I've just finished a little reading and review of this incident and have form my opinion based on looking at a lot of data, and also what I know with my own limited experience. Two things First, in my opinion, poor...

Okay, so it's the time of year to be planning our trip over the Chinese New Year... this year, we have another couple who we know but have never dived with that want to travel with us and dive whichever location we finally decide on... Now, my wife and I had basically already decided we wanted...

We got back from out cruise to Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel this last week... the operator in Roatan was real good, but the actual diving wasn't anything that I'd go back for... I mean it was 'all right' as my wife put it, and I really enjoyed Canyon Reef, but I mean I'll have a hard time...

So, May 2014, a fat old man (54) travels to Thailand and earns his Open Water... Early September 2015, same (still fat) old man (55) travels to Anilao (3rd time in 15 months) and comes home with his Rescue Diver, Deep Specialty, and Master Scuba Diver... My local instructor felt like I had a...

The dive location have already been ironed out, we are going to dive Roatan and Cozumel, Here's our group Me - 120 total dives, all in the last 15 months, all kinds of conditions, (AOW, Rescue, wreck, deep, sidemount) Wife - 60 total dives, all in the last year, mostly tropical, 10-15 'deep'...

okay, I dove last weekend for the first time here in China... i've looked for places near and around Shanghai since I got certified last May, but there isn't anything due to the delta flow surrounding the Shanghai coastline... That said, I did find a place in southern China near Shenzhen, a...

I'm in the process of having a custom wetsuit made for me - it's going to be a full body 3mm, and with the hood and make to order fee, the total cost is going to run me $120 US (about 650 RMB Chinese money).... being as I am pretty difficult to fit to standard wetsuits, if this place works out...

First, today I got to take my new Aquamundo rig (available in the Philippines - if you haven't looked at one, you need to, it literally comes ready to dive after making adjustments), with my HOG regulator setups (DIN3 colds - and a shout out to people who can make a 1st stage that breaths well...

I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean much to some people, but to me it's a pretty significant milestone, and the fact that I've spent the last year working to accomplish it means quite a bit to me. I'm currently sitting at 90 dives, with a three dive day in Taiwan next week, and then a two dive day...

Just wondering? thoughts?

Okay, it's been almost two weeks since I got back. And before I throw out my thoughts, keep in mind that they are tainted by some nasty weather. 1) Puerto Galera was awesome... I will have to go back 2) We worked thru Badladz in PG proper, their boat picked us up at the dock of the villa we...

Thanks to C&T Diving in Kenting!!! I went to Taiwan on a short business trip a week ago, I was going to fly in on Sunday night for Monday meetings, but decided to go on Friday and trip down to Kenting on the south end of Taiwan (that's the end that points toward the Philippines folks)... I had...

For those who have been to PG, we are taking a relatively inexperienced group to PG for the Christmas holiday. Going to be using DMs and instructors, but still would like recommendations on dive sites that we should look at for our trip.

any chance you all are still living

My wife came with a partial hearing loss, and the warranty on her ended long ago, but darn it, I like her, so I guess I'll keep her. That said, her hearing loss now has her officially listed as 'legally deaf' and she uses hearing aids in both ears to hear normal human speech and many other...

Okay, wife and I went to Saipan over the long Chinese holiday this past week. On day three of our dives, we went out to Naftan and did a dive where we dropped off the edge of the reef and went down to 30m/100f with our guide. I'm still learning I admit, but I've probably go 30% of my dives...
