    Queenesia

    Has anyone ever stayed on the Queenesia out of Labuan Bajo? Considering this 4 night liveaboard as an add on to a trip to Bali. This will be our first liveaboard. Seems rustic, but that can be fine. We are not fussy.

    Kona Manta Ops and Shore Diving Rentals

    Hello- We will be on the Big Island for a week in June. We want to do the 2-Tank Manta Night Dive because if you are going to get wet your should do it twice and the Manta Dives are on my bucket list. I figure since all these Dive Ops got together to standardize the Manta Dive to maximize...

    Another Norte in Galveston

    We had an idea we might be blown out. It was certainly a windy day on the water yesterday and very windy last night. But we were told we’d be notified if we weren’t going diving today and we didn’t want to miss the boat in case like yesterday we went out. We have been here several times...

    Another Norte in Galveston

    Don’t you just love it when your dive shop doesn’t bother telling you they closed the port and you got up early, walked to the boat and find the pier locked. Grrrr

    Carnival 2020 avoid or partake?

    Also that said we are in Cozumel for a month and don’t dive everyday regardless. We work the first 3 weeks and dive weekends. So Carnival does not cut into our dive. Also noise can be an issue any time in Mexico regardless of the time of year. Fiestas go late and loud!

    Carnival 2020 avoid or partake?

    We love Carnival. We will stand and watch one night. We will walk against it one night and eat and drink our way from one end of town square to the other end square. Many awesome bars and taco stands line the parade streets. On the last night we stay up until 3am dancing in the municipal...

    Bag drag - ADO vs private transfer speed

    I don’t like to have to do the bag drag from the island home. It’s a long flight to Oakland,Ca and I don’t want to feel grubby from the ferry. I guess I could sit inside but I never do. If we have a flight before noon we spend the night in PDC at a cheap hotel right across the back parking lot...

    1 month work and dive locations

    Thank you. We have discussed Maui and Kona especially since Southwest just started flying there and with 2 free checked bags and lots of frequent flier miles the flights are cheap, but the lodging and need for a rental car brings the budget up. I haven't dove any of those islands since my...

    1 month work and dive locations

    My husband and I are AOW Nirtox Divers with about 150 dives each. We spend a month a year in Mexico between Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel and work from home and dive on weekends or take a week off during the month to dive. Over the last several years we have begun to wonder where...

    More ID help please.... Starfish?

    another phenomenal day. Palancar Caves and Gardens. Lots of little worms which I love. Found this dude. At first I thought tiny octopus but now I'm thinking starfish. My fish I'd book is to heavy for vacation. Can someone I'd?

    ID help

    Greeting- Today was a great day to be a diver. We found this little dude over at Cedral today. Is this a flamingo tongue with his spots on inside side? A Nudi? Thanks to the team at BlueXTSea for a great welcome back to the island. We dive again tomorrow.
