    Amed and Tulamben - Trip Report

    I found getting in and out of the water to be tough also, especially when the swells start to pick up. The water is super calm once you are in, it's just the steep slope of grapefruit sized rounded lava rocks right at the surf line.

    Diving Thailand’s Similan and Surin Islands

    I actually agree with you. This last trip we did two days by speedboat and that was enough. We did meet a woman who has been living in Bangkok who purchased a package deal to see every island in the Similans and Surins by speedboat, and she was loving it. Her husband doesn't dive though so...

    Why Mactan Island is worth a look

    The first time I went to Mactan, we dove in the marine park. We heard and felt dynamite going off way too close. This last trip I didn't experience that, and admittedly, there weren't a lot of big fish, but the macro was fantastic.

    Palau Hantu Singapore Dive Report

    I have been here for 3 years, and this was my first time doing it. It really isn’t the most amazing diving in Southeast Asia, but it was a fun way to spend a Sunday with fellow divers in Singapore.

    Ko Phi Phi | Trip Report

    The dive sites surrounding Ko Phi Phi and Phi Phi Lei are some of the most popular in all of Thailand, and for that matter, the world. While I wouldn't say that the diving here is the best in the world, or even the best in Thailand, I will say that this is one of the best place for beginning...

    Candidasa Bali | Trip Report

    Diving in Candidasa truly is a world-class experience. The condition of the deep reefs rival anything else that I have seen inside the coral triangle of South East Asia. But these sites really are reserved for more experienced divers, as the combination of the unyielding currents and the...

    Amed and Tulamben - Trip Report

    I’m glad to hear that you are finding the trip report helpful. Traveling in Indonesia can be a real bargain, especially if you don’t mind roughing it a little bit. Bali has some of the nicest low cost hotels I have ever stayed at. The homestays on Raja Ampat are a bit more rustic, but really...
