My wife and I recently returned from a wonderful trip on the Gaia Love liveaboard. It was our second trip on this boat; we had been on it in March 2019 for a previous Raja Ampat sailing, and liked it so much that we decided to do it again. It was just as good the second time around. Unlike most...

My wife and I went on a return trip to Belize, leaving November 30 and returning December 7. We have been to Turneffe Island Resort twice previously, the most recent trip being last year. The resort is very nice and the diving is very good, although there were a couple of problems this year. We...

I just finished a wonderful trip to Cocos Island off the coast of Costa Rica on the Argo liveaboard. It was excellent diving, and an very well-run dive operation. I recommend it highly. The trip was chartered by Ultimate Dive Travel, and I use them frequently to arrange my diving trips. I have...

My wife and I just completed a trip to Indonesia. The main purpose of the trip was to go to Raja Ampat on the Gaia liveaboard (I already submitted a trip report on that part of the journey). But we figured that as long as we were going all the way to Indonesia, we would also fit in a side trip...

My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Indonesia, and the main purpose of the trip was to dive the varied Raja Ampat sites on the Gaia liveaboard, a relatively new boat on the scene. We started with a few days of muck diving in Lembeh, which was very good, and I will have a separate post...

My wife and I just returned from our first trip to Palau, where we went for a 10 day trip on the Ocean Hunter 3 liveaboard. We had a very good time, and the diving was good, but we really prefer the prettier reefs in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Fiji. We are glad the we went to try it, and...

My wife and I went for an 11 night trip to Turneffe Island Resort, where we dove for 10 days. We enjoyed the trip very much, and have nothing but good things to say for the resort. The food and amenities were excellent. Most days, there were 2 dives offered, and some days, there were 3 dives...

I am thinking about a trip to Key Largo or Marathon sometime. I enjoyed my previous trip to Key Largo, but was surprised to learn that dive operations in that area typically did not hold on to your dive gear if you are doing multiple days of diving. Also, I found that most of the dive shops in...

My wife and I went on a nice trip on the Turks and Caicos Explorer 2 in May 2018. We had been on this boat in 2011 and had wanted to repeat the trip for some time. It is a good boat with an excellent crew, and I would recommend it highly. The diving was good, but perhaps not quite as good as I...

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful trip to Indonesia. We arrived in Jakarta and stayed at the FM7 for 3 nights just to get over jet lag and get acclimated. It was a good idea, although we could have cut out one night with no problem. From there, we flew to Ambon, where we went to the...

My wife and I recently returned from a great trip to the Misool Eco Resort in southern Raja Ampat. We have been on liveaboards in Raja Ampat previously, and some of our favorite dives were in the area around this resort, so we thought we would give it a try. I highly recommend it. It takes a...

My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Little Cayman. We went to Little Cayman Beach Resort for 10 nights, with 9 days of 2-tanks dives. This was our fourth trip to LCBR, and we liked it very much. The diving was excellent, and the staff were first rate. They have dialed back on the...

I returned from a very nice trip to Cozumel a couple of weeks ago. I went with my wife, and we stayed at the Presidente for 8 nights. I dove for 7 days (2 tank morning dives) and my wife dove for 6 days. The hotel had just finished some significant renovations last year, most of which were nice...

I went to Grand Cayman from March 14-21, and dove for 6 days on the East End of Grand Cayman with Ocean Frontiers. I traveled with a friend and we stayed in a one-bedroom condo at Compass Point. I have done this twice before, but it has been about 7 years since my last trip. I really enjoyed the...
