I have been to Raja Ampat, Waldini & Munda/Gizo/Bilikiki (close to uepi). RA- Has it all , very fishy, great reefs , mantas, good macro. Dive facilities/travel time to dive sites were good. Waldini - Has amazing reefs , nice visibility. One plane wreck. did not see any large marine life.Dive...

This is an interesting post. Before i started to research my trip i had always thought of FP as a super expensive location. Flights- Tokyo-Tahiti approx $4500 business class return (I did not pay for my ticket). Hotels- Hotels in regular tourist hotspots e.g. Bora Bora are very expensive >$300...

Think i saw your post on wet pixel. Fakarava was better than Rangiroa 60/40 split in terms of days would be about right.I only saw 1 manta and it was a brief swim by. There were a few large groups of fish. however i was told in Rangoria Aug/Sept/Oct s the time when fish appear in big groups. In...

Top dive are ok. I was there 6 weeks ago at rangoria,North and South fakarava. 14 dives, no complaints. Nice boats, good guides. Free nitrox. Most of the guides allowed me to dive with some freedom. Did 1 deep dive to 48 m. Only 1 guide was constantly wanting me to keep close, kept on asking...

Sangat Island Dive Resort: Home. Website to dive resort very close to the wrecks in Coron. I think they have a fast speedboat so it should only take 5-10 mins to get to the wrecks. If you stay in Coron town with teh other dive resorts , time to the wrecks is approx 60-90 mins

Any reports- info for the new dive resort on Kerikite. It appears Exotic Malapascua has just opened a new resort here. Whats he diving like? Muck,reefs,walls?

Have to agree about Anilao Pier night dive. one of the best night dives i have ever done and i am not a night dive fan. Saw many Mimic octopus & squid. One advantage of staying at Club O, the pier dive is not too far away for a night dive.

Should be ok.i would suggest the following in order 1.fly manila to Coron. Spend 5 nights in coron, 4 dive days. There are approx 7 main wrecks and normally the dive shops cycle dive spots each day. Therefore you can see 6 wrecks then have a dive day spare to dive barracuda lake or repeat wreck...

I am also considering a trip to atlantis during the Xmas break. Does anyone know how frequent trips are to see the whale sharks in oslob. Do they go once a week or much less frequent I.e it's a rare trip once or twice a year i assume it's number ,weather dependent. last time I stay at el...

Gee it sounds like you had some bad luck during your trip. My trip in Kimbe bay,Fathers & Witu Islands was one of my best ever dive trips, with perfect topside conditions & no current at any of the dive sites. Agree the boat is small, I was lucky the boat was only half full on my trip. Have to...

I visited kimbe bay last year during April May. Top side conditions were perfect. No wind ,flat calm seas. I spent 10 days on the Febrina and a few days at walindi before the febrina trip. I posted a trip report in this forum.Most of the diving was wide angle fishy dives. Not much macro...

Do some more research regarding the weather. Lembeh is ok Dec/Jan , however Bangka & Bunaken area diving can be impacted by the weather during this time. One of the dive shops in Bangka normally closes at this time of year due to the weather (Lots if rain,wind & high seas).

The most expensive cabin is approx $5000. However the cheapest cabin is approx $3500. PNG is just as expensive as Australia for diving. http://www.diversiondivetravel.com.au/welcome.html A good travel agent based in Cairns. I have used for several trips.

During my trip , we use the lines a couple of times. Lines/rope of the back of the boat that you can hang onto if there is a bit of current. Normally used for 5-10 m mid water looking at reef sharks. My thoughts are with the family, friends and the crew of the shearwater. A difficult time for all.

Thanks for the replies to my original post. I am just back from Truk. I did manage to dive the San Francisco (just myself & guide), bottom time 9 mins, 6 mins on the wreck, total dive time approx 26 mins. Deco time was short with slow ascent and a couple of deep stops. I could have stayed a...

Dive Profile for San Francisco maru- I am heading to Truk next week (Blue lagoon resort) and i am considering diving the San Francisco Maru. My last visit to Truk (on the Odyssey) i skipped this dive due to depth. I believe the brigde is approx 45-50m and deck around 50+m. I would like to see...

Hotels in Munda, Solomon Islands. Book Munda hotels online and save with solomonislands-hotels.travel

Munda is a great place to dive, wrecks, reefs, sharks,rays, and lots of stunning coral. Topside islands are also very pretty with lots of war history. I really enjoyed Munda. I have travelled throughout Indo , including Ambon. The reefs are not as nice but bio-diversity of huge, lots of macro...
