Looking to take a week long trip with our 15 month old at the end of August. Wife wants a nice beach that we can take our daughter out on and find shells n stuff, build some sandcastles, etc. I'll probably get to break away for maybe 2-3 days of diving. I've heard the reefs around Florida aren't...

I've got a spot booked on the Galapagos Master August 29th-Sept 5th but still need to get my flights booked. I'm going solo and leaving the wife/6mo old at home for this trip so I can't add on more than an extra day or two beyond the liveaboard dates as I'm already pushing it... Although, with...

Well, the wife is pregnant and due in February/March so my diving prospects for the next few years are not looking great. I had planned on doing some big trips over the past year or so but covid really put a damper on that... With that being said, I'm trying to find a really good liveaboard...

I'm planning a last minute trip to Hawaii in May (along with the rest of the USA it looks like) for two weeks and have been scouring this board all day for info. Figured I'd post up my current plan for a sanity check and get some recommendations. The plan is to split our time between Hawaii...

If you had to pick a liveaboard/itinerary for a once in a lifetime trip to Raja Ampat, which would it be? I'd like to go ahead and book a trip for later this year. May be the only chance I get to go so I'd like to hit the best parts if I can... I will likely be traveling solo and would...

Hello, Just got married last weekend and had planned on going to Hawaii for two weeks for our honeymoon. They kept pushing back the quarantine so we switched plans to Bali as they were supposed to reopen in September. Now they are closed until at least 2021... We've been to Coz several...

I'm getting ready to book a 2 week trip to Hawaii soon for a honeymoon in October but was wondering if there are any trip insurance providers that would cover the trip in the event of a 2nd wave shutdown? I know Hawaii currently (or did) have a 14 day quarantine on visitors but I've read they...

I'm planning a ~2 week honeymoon to Hawaii in October and I would like to stop in SoCal for a day or two of diving, probably on the way out. If we were to do 2-3 dives (maybe more, not sure yet), where would you guys recommend we go? I'd love to see some sea lions and kelp forests... Any...

Getting married September 5th and the fiancee wants to honeymoon in Hawaii. I've just started to research it and I think we are going to take 2 weeks off (maybe a few extra days if needed). I'm thinking about splitting it between a week on the big island (Kona area?) and a week on Maui, with a...

My fiance and I have been diving in the Caribbean for a few years now and I'm starting to look around at other destinations for a vacation sometime this spring/summer. We will be honeymooning in September/October in Hawaii this year so we can't go there. I've been credit card hacking for the...

Would anyone be interested in splitting a charter of the El Duque liveaboard the week of Sept 21st-28th? It would be $1500 each if I can find two more people. Right now it's just my fiance and myself. It's based in La Paz and could do a 6 day/5 night trip or split with La Paz and Cabo Pulmo. I...

The fiance now has a week of vacation available in Sept, from the 21st-29th. We've been to Cozumel twice last year and spent a week in Bonaire this year. She kind of wants to go back to Coz but I wouldn't mind trying something different. I'm thinking maybe either Cabo Pulmo, La Paz, or Loreto...

Just got back from our 1st trip to Bonaire a week ago and figured I'd better get a report written before I forget everything. Much thanks to those who gave me feedback on here! It definitely helped us have a great trip. We flew in on March 22nd and flew out on March 31st. I initially planned...

I'm trying to decide between these BPW options. We have mostly been traveling to warm water destinations and diving single 80s but also do some local cold water diving (with wetsuit and/or drysuit) and I have a few cold water destinations on my list. My local LDS is a dealer for xDeep and...

I know this is beat to death but I've got it narrowed down to one of these for our first trip to Bonaire and wanted another opinion on a few things to help me choose. Vehicles - sounds like the trucks from Avis might be in better condition vs the ones provided by Buddy? Beach area - from the...

Finally got around to putting together a video from footage taken last year in Cozumel. It's actually from two trips, one in April taken with just a GoPro 4 silver and the 2nd trip in September taken with the same GoPro 4 but with a Backscatter filter & two video lights. Definitely need to work...

I'm looking into buying some gear for the GF before our next dive vacation here in April. I was thinking about just getting her the same reg set I bought for myself (Apeks XTX50/DST) as I would like to start doing my own reg services and having the same regs would obviously simplify things. I...

Looking for some advice on where to go next! I was planning on going somewhere end of April but now the GF has some time off at the end of March so I've got to plan this quick. We are new divers that would be flying out of Ohio (Columbus or Cleveland). I got my OW in Roatan and went to Cozumel...

Just got back a few days ago from our 2nd trip to Coz! We planned this trip as a dive specific trip as I managed to talk the GF into getting her OW cert a few months ago and this was her reward. It took me a while to talk her into it at first but once she tried it a few times she picked it up...

Say you had maybe two days in either Monterey or Seattle for diving during the last week in October; which location has better diving? I'm a new diver with about 40 dives. I've got about 15 dives in our cold local quarry in a 7mm for AOW and a drysuit for my drysuit cert. Which one would have...
