    I really miss diving, so I desperately want to go for another liveaboard. Since the red sea is affordable, nearby, and a spectacular place for diving, I'm thinking about doing another Brother, Daedalus and Elphinstone trip. One thing I absolutely love about this place is that from October to...

    Currently, I'm using a Nikon D7000 with a Tokina 10-17 (fisheye) and Ikelite housing with 8" dome port. I mostly like to photograph large pelagics. However, sometimes, they just won't come that close and for these cases I would like to buy a lens that gives me some more magnification. I was...

    How good is Rocky in terms of large pelagics compared to for instance Brothers?

    Next year I'll definitely do one or two liveaboards in the Red Sea. So far I've done two liveaboards there: - South and St Johns - very beautiful reefs and relaxed diving, but not enough pelagic action for me - Brothers, Daedalus and Elphinstone - I absolutely loved the diving here, many...

    Nusa lembongan with Two fish Divers - trip report and why I didn't like Crystal Bay

    When we were in Indonesia (September 2015), we also went to Nusa Lembongan. We stayed at Two Fish Divers for 4 days and did 2 dives a day.

    Anyone who has been on a Galapagos livaboard with the Pinguino explorer?

    In 2016 or 2017 I would love to go on a Galapagos liveaboard. It seems amazing and I can't wait to go there.
