Thanks. I wondered about that.

I was in Dubai for three days and thought I would check out the diving in the Persian Gulf. It was a long day to say the least. Up at 6:00 AM to meet the operator's bus for Fujairah at the Al Boom shop next to the Iranian embassy in Dubai for a two hour bus ride to the east coast of the UAE. We...

Ive dived St. Lucia and St. Thomas. In St. Lucia the best diving is around the pitons south of the cruise ship dock. I'm not sure if the cruise dive operator will go that far or not. The same is true of St. Thomas to some extent although I thoroughly enjoyed the two dives we did quite near the...

I don't know if Thailand is too far for you but I just booked week in Thailand on the Diva Andaman. Luxury liveaboard, Richeliu Rock. Need I say more?

Cool video. Cetainly looked a lot different when I was there last!

Great post and thread. Glad someone else collects islands. Next year will be to St. Eustatius. I will be very happily bored there for a week with a friend of mine. I generally agree with your island conclusions with the exception of Cozumel which I personally have found to be some of the best...

The wrecks were sunk on purpose and are a short boat trip from the harbor. Fuel is expensive. You do the math. Wreck dives are ok with me but I usually get bored around the half hour mark. I think Anguilla is surrounded by a sort of shelf that is relatively shallow. It makes the vis dependent on...

The flight from Provo to Grand Turk is short (less than a half hour) but you will find plenty of wall diving in Provo to keep you busy. Be aware that the dive days in Provo are long. The ride out to the wall from South Dock is a good forty minutes to an hour. That was what was nice about Grand...

Spent a week in Anguilla January 8-15, 2013 and did my 300th dive! I celebrated with a little bit of rock jumping during the interval IMG 1047 - YouTube A visit to the island was just another stop in my bucket list quest to dive all of the islands in the Caribbean. We rented a villa which you...

Recently returned from trip to Salt Cay 1/4/13-1/11/13. It was the annual boys dive trip. The travel was easy. We flew into Providenciales and then flew on to Salt cay with Caicos Express. It was a twenty minute flight in a ten seat Cessna. I had the pleasure of occuying the co-pilot's seat on...

I was in Salt Cay January 4, 2013 - January 11, 2013. The population was quoted at 32. It had an amazing sort of Caribbean ghost town feeling.

Dove all three and would have to say that St. Croix is probably the best.

205 feet at Boca Slagbaai Bonaire. Solo and stupid!

My family and I will be in Fiji for a few days in April, 2011. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with the dive op at the resort or knows of a godd dive op in the area. Any tips would be appreciated.

Best all around diving destination I've been to is Palau.

I would second the indorsement for Curacao. The Aquarium and the ostrich farm were kid favorites in my family. The diving is good. i would recommend a two bedroom suite at the Royal Sea Aquarium Resort. Good location and right next door to the aquarium. Quiet and convenient to a great dive op...

Another vote for Aldora Divers. My buddy and I were in Cozumel from January 1, 2011 - January 8, 2011. We did four days of diving with Aldora. We did two dives in the north and six dives in the south. As always Aldora did a great job. I have been to Cozumel none times now and would highly...

You really can't go wrong with Saba. Still one of the most unique and beautiful all round dive destinations.

I use tripadvisor for hotels and resorts but not for dive ops. My experience is that there are two types of people who post on tripadvisor. First are the savvy travelers with good tips and relatively unbiased reviews. Second are the dissatisfied customers with an axe to grind. I usually listen...

I dived the same itinerary in 2000 with Celebrity. I would deifinitely bag Belize. Long boat ride to mediocre diving. The Grand Cayman diving was okay but was deifinitely a cattle boat. Anthonys Key was good diving and they made a real effort to keep the numbers down on the boat. Sand Dollar...
