    Protea Banks South Africa

    I'm thinking of doing some diving at Protea Banks 25-27 March. The two operators there seem to be African Dive Adventures and Aquaplanet. I've contacted them both and not heard back. Sadly the owner of the former seems to have died a few months ago, so probably that is why in that case, although...

    Drysuit zip repairs

    How do I go about getting my drysuit zip repaired? Maybe it can be done without replacing the whole zip, I don't know. If the whole zip does need replacing then that seems to approach the cost of a new drysuit. I've had the suit for eight years, but only used it about a dozen times, so it's a...

    Adventure Liveaboard, Mexico

    Anyone know about this boat Adventure? It looks nice enough and has reasonably priced trips. But I guess it must be new as it has no reviews, and I can't see it mentioned other than on liveaboard.com. Thanks

    Is it worth upgrading from my Sealife 2.0 to get a housing for my Canon EOS R?

    I own a Sealife 2.0, and a Canon EOS R for photos above the water. While I'm reasonably happy with the photos from the Sealife, I do sometimes find them a bit grainy. And quite a lot of them come out blurry - I think this may be where the light conditions are poorer and the camera presumably...

    What's special about diving in Hawaii?

    I'm planning a trip to Hawaii in June, visiting Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and Big Island. I'll probably try to fit in a day or two's diving, because I'm sure that the diving is good. But is there anywhere I should try not to miss? I've dived in the Pacific before, and if there's something really...

    Covid Tests

    I've just been told that I need to get a negative Covid test for a liveaboard trip that I was thinking of booking in Mexico. If it's positive then I'm not allowed to join the trip. This rules it out as far as I'm concerned because I don't want to take the risk of flying all the way there only to...

    Keeping track of fish you've seen.

    So birdwatchers are very keen listers and there are packages for keeping those lists, particularly https://ebird.org/home Do you keep a list of fish you've seen, and if so, in what format? I don't think there's an equivalent to ebird so I just have an excel spreadsheet. I have records of about...

    Ad hoc diving in Cornwall

    Is there anywhere in Cornwall (preferably the south) where I can dive like I do when I go abroad, i.e. turn up, hire the gear and be taken out for a dive or two by the operator? I have dived in the UK before, but not for a long time, and it seems the set up is more for clubs to go out as a...

    Java Sea Wrecks

    Does anyone have any information on the history of the following wrecks in Indonesia? I think they're all Japanese WWII wrecks. I dived them around ten years ago but never found out much about them. They are: 1. North of Karimujawa Archipelago. 5 deg 40 min 50 sec south, 110 deg 30 min 44sec...
