    Would you rather spend a week diving Bangka or Alor?

    I'm deciding between the two in June and am having a really hard time doing so. Assuming all things equal (price, time to get there, etc.) -- which should I choose? It seems like both areas have diverse diving, ranging from muck/macro to drifts, walls, reefs, etc. I'm not a fan of mucking...

    Question 14 days of diving in June, any suggestions on where to go and how should I split my time?

    After factoring in transfer times, I have roughly 14 days of diving available later this summer. I've already dove in Komodo, Raja Ampat, and Nusa Penida. As of right now, I'm thinking of splitting my time between Komodo, then flying to Alor for the other half. I was thinking Komodo at first...

    Looking for advice on places to dive within the Philippines

    I've been looking into this itinerary more along with my preferences. I think I'm going to skip out on Malapascua -- it's a bit far out of the way and I'm not sure if I like the idea of seeing sharks that much to go. It looks like my trip is going to be focused around Bohol, Apo Island, and...

    Looking for advice on places to dive within the Philippines

    Unfortunately not. I'm balancing work while traveling and can't afford being totally offline during this time.

    Looking for advice on places to dive within the Philippines

    Gonna be spending roughly a month in the Philippines hopping from place to place to dive. I've done a bit of research on places of interest, but looking for some advice on this list or places I may have missed or should consider. I'm not a fan of muck diving, looking for macro, or wreck diving...

    First Dive in Bali in 2 years

    Can you explain what you mean by the "hassles of on entry to Bali"? I'm looking to visit for the first time soon, and want to know of any potential issues.

    Are there any dive shops in Sharm that DON’T baby its divers?

    First time in Sharm and I’ve been diving with Reef Oasis the last few days. The diving has obviously been very good, but I find the dive shop to baby the divers a bit much. Dives are on the shorter end — around 45 mins on average with usually only one of them reaching 50 mins a day, guides are...

    Should I spend more time in Dahab or Sharm?

    Visiting Egypt for the first time next month, where I'll be spending three days in Hurghada, a week on a liveaboard doing the BDE route, tentatively three days in Sharm, and tentatively three days in Dahab. How should I allocate my time in the latter two? Is three / three fine, or should I...

    Looking for advice on which liveaboard route to do and where to spend a week diving afterwards

    Hey all, I'm looking to spend ~2 weeks in Egypt this fall and have a few questions about which liveaboard route to do and where I should dive on land afterwards. I'm a fan of towering structures and fish / reef life. I like pelagics and big stuff, but they're not a huge priority for me. It's...

    Non-smoker, fairly active, no history of respiratory issues.

    Why does it feel like it's harder for me to empty my lungs at depth?

    I still consider myself to be a relatively newish diver at around 100 dives, and up until now, I haven't really paid any attention to my air consumption. I'm never the first to surface while just "breathing normally," so that's been good enough for me. I recently started to pay more attention to...

    Staying in Cozumel longer term -- any recommendations for "off the beaten path" diving?

    I spent the first few months in Mexico based out of PDC, and was able to do many cenotes during that time. I really enjoyed them, but I wouldn't do them more than once or twice in such a short period of time.

    Staying in Cozumel longer term -- any recommendations for "off the beaten path" diving?

    Hey all, I've been living in Mexico (with a few trips to Cozumel specifically) for the last few months and will be basing myself out of Cozumel full time for the next few months. I've done around 30 dives here, visiting the following sites: Barracuda San Juan C-53 Yucab Tunich San Francisco...
