We are in PHL and looking to south caicos, when are you going and where are you staying?

Has anyone flown into CZM in the last week from the US? I am considering heading down this week and wanted to know if I should expect any hassle for non-essential travel at my DFW connection to coz.

Sorry you weren't able to go on you trip as planned. Keep me posted if you plan to reschedule or if you hear about travel reopening or vendors planning to reopen!! Stay safe :)

Did you end up going to Bali? I had to cancel my whole trip :( Getting the visa from the embassy wasn't an issue, the issue was vendors closing and obviously covid-19 safety? I'd love to know how it worked out for you.

I was also looking at Hawaii this morning. What island were you looking at, have you visited before? I saw like $450 R/T from Philly. I've only ever been to Maui, and that was before I was a diver. Seems that is an incredible price from little rock!!! I'm thinking that I can always turn the...

We like to fly into curacao and do a little stop there and then over to BON, then fly home to NYC/PHL. $90 One way to CUR! But that non-stop flight to/from is amazing!! Are there any other destinations you are looking at for the may/june/july? I had to cancel my two month long Komodo/Bali trip...

Reco for Liveaboard you enjoyed from LBJ? or a day trip dive site you liked?

STOP! LOL, are you serious? That's so awful to hear :vomit: Thanks for the tips. I will be in Indonesia for 42 days (beginning April 9th) and then my husband and I will dive and travel for 12 more when he arrives mid May. We will mostly explore mainland Bali, Padang Bai was on my short list. I...

I was partially avoiding Gili because of the "party" atmosphere I've read about. I am looking for a quieter location, not really a party scene in addition to the DMT. Do you think it'd be worth doing the DMT on Gili Air or Meno? Or Gili T is the best choice for a dive school?

Very helpful. I am heading to Bali in a few weeks, with the intent of doing my DMT in Labuan Bajo. BUT I am now considering doing it in Nusa Lembongan or Penida. I am not sure I will be up for day trips from LBJ that are like 8-9 hours round trip. May do my DMT in Nusas and then jump on a...

Is anyone able to provide some insight to what the day is like for a dive trip leaving from Labuan Bajo/Flores versus leaving from Nusa Lembangan or Nusa Penida? Are the boat rides to the dive sites similar distances? Are the dive boats comparable in comfort and speed? I've read in Komodo...

Where are you traveling to? That will determine what layers you'll need to keep cool/warm. This was a good guide for me when I did my first liveaboard. Inside My Bag: What to Pack For a Liveaboard Highly recommend the hydration tablets, really helped me drink a lot of water. I didn't use the...

Thanks for the detailed report, I like how you broke it into categories. I second tres pelicanos they are my third choice. Give Chili Charters a try they are always my go to, great customer service and communication and long bottom times :) I also like Deep Exposure.

This is so exciting. I have about 150 dives in Cozumel over the last few years and only a few of those I felt like the current was strong, like blowing my hair back strong. Loved it! Didn’t love it for actually looking for fishes and critters, but to feel that kind of power in the water was...

This sound like SO much fun and a good challenge for me. I have been in one or two ripping Cozumel currents, but they tend to stay one direction. I love the athleticism that can be required in those moments, I am excited to see how I fare!

Amazing! Sometimes I literally go to be early in hopes of getting to my morning coffee faster! Thx

I have a bachelorette party to attend the weekend of Feb 21-23 in Key West and have time on either end to do some solo keys traveling. I have flexibility to fly in/out of Key West or Miami and will rent a car. Anyone have a recommended itinerary? I was thinking maybe diving 1-2 days in key west...

This is looking more my speed. Thank you for this reco; I did not come across dragon divers in searching for DMT ops! I have only been diving a few years, but easily am feeling the PADI kool-aid influence as I meet more and more divers and DMs

Yes, busted. I was trying to sprinkle in some LOB fun under the guise of DMT :nyah:

I ALWAYS get pesos before going down. Some places have two menus, one in pesos and one in usd. Last month we had a group of 8 and got a check in usd, even though I asked and ordered off the pesos menu- we saved $80 by asking them to redo the bill in Pesos!!!! I also feel paying for taxis in...
