Can anyone tell me about the requirement for visa for Bali. I am flying from Australia to Singapore on Jetstar with an 8hr layover in Bali. My wife and I have one checked bag, but Jetstay "said" it would be checked thru to Singapore. We have no need/desire to leave the airport. In some...

Does anyone know of a storage facility near the airport that might be more reasonable for long-term (~28days) for storing a bag. Its not a big bag - ~10KG duffle - but it would be >$100USD for the airport storage. Perhaps a hotel that would store for me (I do need a hotel for the first and...

Hey all, While this is of course asked often (even a current thread with similar options - which I am of course following) - my guidelines are different and I didn't want to hyjack someones post... SOOO: Planning ~3wks trip to dive Philippines starting late March. I'll (likely) fly from...

Looking to switch from my Zeagle Scout (used for ~10yrs) to a backplate/wing setup. I dive exclusively on travel trips, in warm climates an I'm a minimalist. Nothing wrong with the Zeagle, but just wanting something new and I tried a BP last year and really enjoyed the way it felt and the...

Selling my perfect condition dive light. I got it as a dive light and focus/spotting light but I don't use an underwater camera anymore so this should be used by someone who needs it. It works great. I bought it new and have only used on a handful dive trips. Has the wrist strap and 1" ball...

Hello! My wife and I are heading to Australia for ~3mo to escape the cold, dark, wet winters of Oregon, USA. It will be our first OZ trip! We will be based in Sydney from Xmas thru the end of Jan - and we will be housesitting so can't really take off for anything more than a day trip...

Any advice on dive op... Hopefully place that doesn't cater to beginners, lets you dive your air time (esp since seems most op's only do 2 dives/day). I'll be diving for 3 days. Curious if its 'more interesting' to base in PB and just go over for a day to see the Molas and Mantas. What is...

I am spending some time in Alor before my Komodo LOB - and wondering how worried I should be about getting from ARD to LBJ. Lion/Wings shows/sells a flight same day - the 9:30a-10:30a from ARD->KOE and 10:50a from KOE->LBJ. Some booking agencies don't even sell this second flight, and require...

I am heading to Komodo for a week LOB. Looking forward to finally getting to take our trip we booked pre-pandemic! And getting back to Komodo - we dove here maybe 10yrs ago. But since it's such a long trek I want to stick around for a while and do more diving. My dive partner will not likely...

I'm doing a Komodo LOB in mid-June 2023 and plan to stay a while after for more land-based diving. I've not done a lot around Alor so figure that would be a good base. We did a Komodo LOB ~10yrs ago, and twice been on LOB in Raja. I prefer Raja but our schedule means we are going in June...

My dive buddy and I are looking for a Carib getaway. Due to Covids our Indo trip has been postponed and looks like we won't get there until this winter at the earliest. We have both been to several places in the Caribbean. No LOB's are available during our time so for me that rules out Belize...

Are there higher fees for LOB divers vs other park visitors? Im going on an 7D LOB (Tanaka) in May and they are charging $35USD/day for park fees. As far as I can tell via Google, the park fees are 170.000 IDR + 50.000 IDR for diving. I believe there are more boat fees and such but in general...

Wondering the best place(s) to dive in Indo in May. I guess it's mainly Komodo season - dove there ~7yrs ago on the Mermaid and had a fantastic time... But wouldn't mind something different. While I love the muck, my dive partner doesn't (she can't see stuff) so more macro/corals/etc...

You know you never use that thing and it's just collecting dust and something better is going to come out and render it value-less. Better off giving me a great deal on your lightly used lens. I'd prefer the Nauticam CMC-1 but interested in others (Inon, Fantasea, etc). 67mm thread mount to be...

I'm planning ~6wks in Thailand starting ~ 4 Feb, 18. I'm going to dive and rock climb and looking for a general itinerary to maximize both and minimize travel. Maybe stay a few places for a few weeks at a time. I've got >500 dives logged so not looking for 'beginner' trips or cattle-boats...

Perfectly working TTL sync cord for you Ike users. $40 + Shipping from 97232 (should be cheap)

I was thinking to extend my trip for ~5 days after my RA LOB. My dive buddies are not sticking around, but my trip ends Jan 13 and my flight to US from Jakarta can be postponed until Jan 18 - leaving me some time. I might be open to some more diving but I want to keep travel to a minimum...

I have ~1wk stop in SIN so was thinking of a trip to Visayas. I could take early direct flight on June 26 to Cebu City. I have to be back in SIN by 7a July 4. So I could have a whole week diving. Didn't see any LOB options for those dates. Maybe there is a safari option so I can see a couple...

Hi, I am a solo diver looking to dive Raja Ampat this season. I am pretty open to when. Would prefer a longer liveaboard trip... ~12 days or so. Then maybe some land based around RA or Lembeh or something. I would be coming from the USA so long trip so want to get the most. 37yr old male...

I am doing a ~3+ wk trip to Bali, including a 10 day LOB to Komodo with 1wk diving before/after. I fly thru Singapore on miles, and I am not thinking I want to spend some more time visiting another region. Its sooo expensive and time consuming traveling from US to SE Asia that I want to extend...
