We have had two guests have to cancel out on our Cocos Island trip January 18th and are looking to recoup some of their investment. Retail cost $5400, your cost $2990 plus park fees and transfers. If you've ever wanted to go, you'll never get a deal like this ESPECIALLY during La Nina!!! Check...

Hmmm, pyscocavr....that's very strange indeed. I, unfortunately do not have any ideas what planet your computer decided to go to that day......wish I had some ideas. sorry!

Hi there! I have run a guided dive travel business for 12 years. If you have divers who would like that, we can work together if you'd like. I am an instructor with 7500 dives, my husband and I run trips together with an upscale market to the top end dive destinations and resorts. You can...

I love Anse Chastenet and their upper end hotel, Jade Mtn is one of my ALL time favorite hotels. You have a pool INSIDE your room, private butler and only 3 walls on the room. BUT the diving in St. Lucia has deteriorated to an algae covered bottom with a smattering of fish. How about Fiji...

You might want to just get the next couple of textbooks from whichever agency you prefer, to read up. Then when you do decide to take the class you're ready.

Hey good point, i never looked at the date but yes, there is good general info here. I learned something I didn't know even if it is old!

Here are two of my all time favorite LUXURY hotels, Vatulele in Fiji and Jade Mtn in St. Lucia. The issue with both of these hotels is that while there is diving, it is only OK diving. Few fish left in St. Lucia but the hotel is amazing. Personal butler and a swimming pool INSIDE your hotel...

Seahound, You mentioned Croatia. I've guided land tours there for years but never had the opportunity to dive. This summer I may just get that opportunity. Ports would be Opatija, Trogir, Dubrovnik and Rovinj. I know nothing about diving there. Do you have some suggestions? I heard there...

500 dives from now you'll look back and laugh! Best of luck and keep us posted!

Brrrr. time to get out the dry suit for that one!!!

Let's talk about value and the best diving, not cheap. I believe that you should pick your dive destination by the best diving, not the cheapest prices. Then you can scale your accommodations to meet your budget. We have lost SO much coral in the Caribbean and you can certainly find deals to...

My first question is how deep is the water? Then I still wouldn't GS higher than about 10 feet. Also, if you are doing a GS from these heights you are obviously shore diving. Be sure you have an exit point!

Yes, get a comfor-bite mouthpiece. It has a piece that sits on the roof of your mouth and works like a charm! I still use this mouthpiece today. The main issue,though, I believe is clenching. When I did my open water cert I thought I was totally calm and relaxed but when I surfaced, I...

Honestly, I think there are many many divers out there who only log 15-30 dives a year. To make up for their own lack of confidence in the water, they have a need to "show their stuff". I find that the biggest talkers on the boat are often the least confident and then they "pick" on new divers...

I have to say that I agree with Jim. I have never personally dived the Flower Gardens but I don't believe there is a lot of "bottom" there, lots of blue water, which can be un-nerving for a new diver. And I've heard currents can do anything out there. The worst thing you can do as a new diver...

I worked on cruise ships for years. On the big ships that don't have their own dive operations, DO NOT book with the cruise ships. Local operators know that the ship pax are there for one day and don't usually take the time to take you to the best, just the closest. AND they cattle boat it...

I know of a live aboard trip in the Maldives with some heavy hitters going out of Male for the manta aggregations (yes, Harifaru) around the 19th of August, let me know if that's something you'd be interested in and the price is good. Also, I second the idea of Sipadan. Personally I love...

Dave, Thanks for sharing, the monk seal looks very calm and it looks like he hung around for awhile! Very Cool. One thought, it doesn't look like you have a red filter on your video? It may help to bring out the color a little more. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks sierra23! Yes, it seems that as you progress in diving, at some point you go "small". Please tell me about the Monk Seals in Ni Ihau, that's a new one to me! How's the diving in Wasila, Alaska! Are you DMing up there?
