Just back from a quick trip to Atlantis Dumaguete and the diving, accommodation and good were - as normal - top notch! Only three and a half days diving, and I missed Apo Island but still I saw tens if not hundreds of new creatures and fish. Some of my favourite photo's : A cardinalfish...

Hello Do we have to see local forum announcements in the "view new posts" link? I can understand why big important announcements like server upgrades or major changes go there but 99.9% of users don't really need to see BKK Divers local meetings on every search?

We're just back from a fantastic Bali holiday with AquaMarine Diving Bali who organised the whole trip for us. They were very professional and we were extremely happy with the schedule, hotels and diving/guides they suggested First stop was Tulamben Bay, home to the USS Liberty wreck which is...

Hey guys and gals.... issuing a plea for help! I've been to Puerto Galera half a dozen times but have not yet experienced the joy of diving elsewhere in the Phillipines... A group of friends are looking for somewhere to go over New Year, approximately 27th Dec to 6th Jan. Personally I...

Well I too my new camera on my first proper dive trip, and just got back... looking through the results I see a number of improvements - forcing the G9 to f8 for most macro shots up'ed the ISO too much which has left me with some dissappointing shots..... On the other hand I found setting...

Today it was time for something a little different, and for only my second diving trip to Chiba.... today we went out to TATEYAMA and did a couple of boat dives there. I was pleasantly surprised - 15m viz, 24 degrees water temperature, not bad at all! The best thing was the huge amounts of...

Just trying out my new G9, tough going figuring out the new buttoms at 30m in Atami but a few photo's came out. Firstly the nice fireworks (photo courtesy of my friend Jacky) Nudibranch in the current Upside down shrimp Crab in anenome Please identify this! Moray eel Arrow...

Just back from 4 wonderful days of diving with Atlantis, here are a few photo's to share wit you. As ever Atlantis staff were fantastic - some of the guides eyesight would put an eagle to shame.... here are a few of the critters I saw in those 4 days. Baby frogfish Commsensal shrimp...

Hello, I thought I would probably never write this, but I hope it might help one or two others, as well as being a cathartic excercise for me. Some minor background: I consider myself an active and experienced diver - I qualified 3/4 years ago and have around 240 dives in Asia - in 2007 I...

Just back from our Golden Week trip to Nakanoshima, as usual I'll post a quick summary here in case anyone else is interested in diving off Kagoshima. Logistics: 90 minute flight from Tokyo (Haneda) to Kagoshima, then an hour bus ride to the ferry terminal and an overnight (7-9 hours) ferry...

Pretty interesting story on the BBC. BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Catching corals' spectacular moment

Well this forum has been a bit dead recently, hopefully it will pick up a little as we move in summer and the water gets warmer! I had a brief trip down to Geruma a couple of weeks ago, leaving after work on the Wednesday, 3 days diving and returning on Sunday. Some brief info below The island...

Hi I requested a couple of times an email, but didn't get a reply... can I PM someone the request? cheers Geoff

Hello I have a Canon Ixy 8, which is a compact, 6 megapixel 4x optical zoom camera.... I have used it for a fair while done, clocked up over a 100 dives on it and been pretty impressed with the versatility of a camera with such a small lens. While I have got some great shots (for me) I...

A few photo's from today... sadly I forgot my gloves and focussing was difficult as my fingers were too numb to half-depress the shutter reliably! Given this and that I skipped the night dive not much to share, despite the excitement on the beach that someone had found a small unicorn...

Just back from a weeks diving with Fish n Fins... here are a few shots from a fantastic weeks diving, the pictures don't even begin to do it justice. A Rock island with a sandy beach Pink anenomefish in a blue anenome Pennant bannerfish Napolean Wrasse Manta's...

Another Sunday's diving in beautiful sunny weather - October and Novemeber are great months for divers. Today we went to Tago on the west side of Izu penisular for two boat dives. We were blessed with 25m+ visibiilty and 23 degrees Centigrade water temperature. First dive was around a rocky...

Some photos from IOP today - a balmy 20 degrees air and water temperature made for some nice diving. Seems a a lot of other people spotted the weather forecast since the 5.5 hour drive back took us all by surprise! First up was a little cuttlefish doing something odd... he was sheltering...

I've just realised I'm divng every day of every weekend this month, leading to the utter exclusion of land based friends & tasks and wondered what is it about diving that draws us in and hooks us? Please share what you love about scuba diving on this thread.. My starters ... * getting out...

I have no idea what the first is, the second I think a kind of parrotfish or razorfish, and not sure about the third either. All are from Izu Penisular in Japan, around 10-20m. Apologies for the crapness of the first two photographs - I didn't get good pictures but am still curious as to what...
