Thank you for the feedback. I might hold off the Thailand trip altogether.

Hi there! I'm a moderate diver with 100 dives, mostly in the Red Sea. I did a 4 day LOB with Manta Queen 5 in Thailand back in January 2020. The trip was pretty decent - saw two small sharks and a few big rays. Unfortunately, visibility was non-existent at Richlieu for 3 dives - I lost my dive...

Thank you. I will ask a couple of guides in the area and make my decision.

Thank you. We will do three NDL dives per day. The third one should end by 4 PM.

Hi All! I'm planning three days of diving in Sharm El-Sheikh in the Red Sea soon. The dives will be to no more than 30 meters (100 ft) and I assume about 45-55 minutes long. We will be using Nitrox 32. I thought I'd head to Dahab, by bus or taxi, straight after coming back to port from the...

Hi there! I'm a diver with 99 dives, mostly in the Red Sea. My Girlfriend, sadly a non-diver, wants to go to the Maldives either December or January, but I could probably convince her to go in February, March or April. We'll spend a week on the beach and I can probably stay another 8 days for...

Thank you all for the input. I'm going to be more careful next time.

No other mix. I didn't think about asking for a lower mix. I was the least experienced diver onboard with 80 dives. Most people had 300 or more, and 3 had a thousand.

Thank you. My computer does not contain this information. I'll add that we were told by the guide to not go below 40 meters, but 35 to 40 is okay. All the dives were guided, unless one (two) chose to go without a guide.

I would say one to four minutes every dive.

Hi folks! I recently came back from a one week Liveaboard in the red sea. Everyone dived with Nitrox, usually at 30%. According to procedure, maximum depth should be 36.6 meters to avoid oxygen toxicity. This is also what we signed on in the log for every Nitrox tank. However, in reality...

I'm supposed to be on Blue Pearl. But usually there are lots of boats at every site, I think.

Thank you! Have fun on your trip and maybe we'll meet underwater in October.

Hi all! I know this question was asked, but it was over one year ago. Anyone can report how good or bad the internet on BDE Liveaboards is? I'm going in October, and need to see whether I should bring a little work along (don't judge me before you know the details!) While I'm at it, what's a...

Those are some great videos, Dan. I will keep the Southern route on my list. Looks like it's Red Sea all over again.

Thank you, or should I say "Danke"? It's between this September trip and a September trip to BDE and/or St John's. We've both done a LOB from Sharm, but not in the South of the Red Sea. We do love visibility though, so maybe we'll just Red Sea again and hope for at least one big shark...

Hi there! Never been to the Maldives before, only Red Sea and a few days in Thailand. I prefer the bigger stuff like sharks and mantas to macro life. A friend wants to go on a Maldives Liveaboard in September, but I'm a bit wary because it's not the best season and it looks like the weather...

Hi there! I just had a tooth extracted. As per the dentist recommendations, I also got 1.5 grams bone graft - Ossix brand in the socket. Does anyone have an idea of how long I should wait before going scuba diving? I've received various answers while googling this, so any help is appreciated...

Hi. I'm tempted to get the liveaboard on the 9th of April. It starts in Sorong and ends in Triton bay and Kaimana. Supposedly there are two dives with whale sharks, which are attracted to the fishing boats there. Has anyone done such a cruise and/or can comment on the route and ship. I don't...
