I dove with Alor Dive (Thomas Schreiber -- www.dive-alor.com). Thomas handled a world of details for me, on everything from accommodations in Kalabahi and Kupang, to flight schedules, to helping me deal with lost luggage, and who knows what else; he was a wonderful host and made life in Kalabahi...

I guess that this post really is for those of you who have been unfortunate enough to have had a real problem underwater, and then fortunate enough to be able to read this now. I've got 200+ ocean dives in some pretty good spots and think that I am a decent, but not expert, diver. I recently...

A very enjoyable three days of diving with World-Diving on August 23-25, 2010. DIVE SITES Manta Point (August 23rd) - Not much coral, a lot of big rocks, and the mantas are the highlight -- we saw three mantas and also spotted a couple of octopi. An easy shallow dive site, and possibly a...

I'll be there. Anyone else going to be there at the same time? Bill

Off to Alor in August for diving, but perhaps with some non-diving days to spare. Does anyone have ideas on some non-diving days trips, places to see, activities, etc. that are near Alor? Or even a good website to find such things?

I've dived in Gulf of Papagayo a couple of time and enjoyed the trips, despite the limited viz and still not seeing the bullsharks after 4 or 5 in-season trips to the Bats. :) Anyone want to compare that spot and the Cano Island area for an August 2010 trip of a week or so? I am an average...

I was at the resort for August 15-22, 2009. See Lissenung Island Resort at Lissenung Island Resort/Lissenung Diving, Kavieng, PNG - dive Kavieng's best sites with the longest established dive resort in Kavieng. Papua New Guinea PNG All things considered, this is a good place to go if you...

Teen fined $25,000 for cost of NH mountain rescue - Yahoo! News The notion of divers having to pay for their rescue costs has come up a number of times. The above link describes a hiker who is being "fined" $25,000 by the state of New Hampshire to cover the cost of his rescue, apparently...

Well, the only AA flight out of here today has been cancelled, so...time for the report. We stayed in the Marsh Harbour (MH) area, and I dove on May 8, 9 and 11. Due to the distances between the cays, it would be difficult to stay in one area (MH, for ex) and dive another area (Green Turtle...

I am looking for opinions on diving in the Kavieng area, and on Lissenung Island Resort. Most of the reports on the board seem to be a little dated (or I just missed them -- not impossible). I'm a recreational diver (180 dives, virtually all ocean, incl. Komodo) who prefers larger marine life...

We're staying in the Marsh Harbour area for about ten days, in early May. Are there can dive sites that I shouldn't miss (and can reasonably get to from Marsh Harbour)? Any suggestions on dive ops? Thanks for the help.

Two couples but only one probable diver, though the other folks may snorkel. One guy is an experienced boat driver on area lakes. Three people like beaches. We're probably looking for a house to rent for a week. My questions are: 1. Is that time of year good for the Abacos? 2. Which cay is...

LabuanBajo: Accommodations and Other 1. Eco Lodge is about an hour walk from town, though the hotel will drive you in for. I believe, about $3.50. Think of it like the AIs on the southern end of Cozumel, but the food isn't as good (it's okay but not great). Staff is very nice. 2. Green...

I know that these two spots are next to each other but have a few questions: 1. Can you walk between them? Is the walk difficult (like, over mountains) or easy? 2. Is it a lot of bother to stay in one, and use a dive op that's in another? 3. I've been to Playa del Coco. Is Playa Hermosa...

I'd like to hear anyone's personal experience on day-trip diving from Labuanbajo to the Komodo area, particularly south Rinca Island and the Gili Lawas. I know that there are dive ops in Labuanbajo that advertise going there (ReefSeekers, for one), but wonder how long and difficult the trips...

We stayed at LunaSea Villa on Turtle Tail (other side of the island from Grace Bay). Details can be found at ..VRBO® is Vacation Rentals by Owner® Vacation Homes Rentals by Owner. The owners were helpful and nice, and I’d certainly recommend the place, though it currently is for sale and I’ve no...

We're staying in Provo for a week. Are there any "signature" dives on Provo or the easily-reachable other islands?

I've seen the reviews from 2005 but haven't found anything detailed that is more recent. Has anyone been to this resort recently, and would like to offer comments on all or any aspects? My bride and I both dive, but she'll want to sit on the beach, too. Mosquitoes bad in March or April...

Any reason (assuming no hurricanes appear) that Key Largo will not be its usual good diving in Mid-October? Viz okay? Etc. And, has anyone stayed at the Suites at Key Largo (former Embassy Suites, I think), and would like to venture an opinion? Thanks. Bill

Has anyone stayed at either the Anda Amed Resort or the Apa Kabar Villas? Or dived with Eco Dive in Amed? Thanks. Bill
