    Wingy, Thank you for the reply... what you say is so true... this is the reason why we have set up Serene Tours, as having travelled extensively myself I was sick and tired of either do research and sometimes not having it right, or going through an agency not based in the location we were...

    Safaris in Tanzania and diving in Zanzibar and Pemba Islands! Interested?

    Hi there, When we talk about Zanzibar you have to keep in mind that we are talking about the Archipelago and its islands, the two main islands are Pemba and Unguja (Stonetown Zanzibar main Island). Pemba is spectacular in terms of diving, drop-off and wall diving, drift, magnificent coral...

    Diving without license/certification card

    That's about been responsible and liabilities! Would you feel comfortable having a dive with a non certified diver? Out of air do you seriously think he will be able to preform a buddy breathing safely, what about underwater panic, buddy separation... and and and... Condoning such behavior...

    where to go diving from Tanzania

    Hi Claire, Your post was quite some times ago, but mentioned November/December or July/Agust, so maybe you haven't made there yet :) Why go to South Africa when you have Zanzibar, Mafia and Pemba Islands right in Tanzania? Sodwana is amazing but quite far from Tanzania and it would cost you an...

    1 week diving and relaxing in the sun: Canary Islands or Cape Verde?

    Hi Dutchgirl, Canary Islands or Cape Verde, nice but cold water... Brrr... Why don't jump on a flight and come to Zanzibar? Magical diving, cheap flights (KQ, KLM and Precision Air combined you'll get an excellent deal), tropical water and an island charged historically! Let me know, I might...

    Certifying For Multiple Agencies Through A Single Course

    And following all of their standards... I've just looked in Padi Standards and Procedures and couldn't fine anything going against it... I would want the professional opinion of a lawyer specialized in diving though... we never know, if an accident happens... liabilities... I wouldn't be...

    Diving without license/certification card

    I'm so impressed, and you brag about it on ScubaBoard?!?! Well done mate, this shows how responsible you are!!! Now, why don't you try a deep dive a 80 meters deep for a good 25 minutes (if your tank can last that long), then come straight up to the surface and then get back to us and tell us...

    Hi from Washington State

    Hi Sarah, I was reading your post and the answers you got... First of all, thanks for been great parents and helping your son achieve a passion. On another hand, as diving instructor I am a little more cautious when it comes to the 10 years limitation to start a JOW. Well programs like seal...

    Can I dive normally, after a serious car accident back in 2012?

    That is actually a good question! Well, I'm actually a smoker and still do a lot of sports, lungs were never a problem prior and after the accident... and now that you talk about it and have had a good thought, I never felt any constraint, pressure, pain and so forth... If I remember Padi...

    Can I dive normally, after a serious car accident back in 2012?

    I really would want to go and see a diving medical professional, but in m part of the World (Tanzania) I would probably need to fly to South Africa to have me checked... Moreover the physician I've visited had not the slightest clue about diving and risk incurred, that was very reassuring having...
