Has anyone had any experience with DAN Travel Insurance? How did they handle the claim etc.? I have used Allianz in the past but they really screwed with me when my trip was cancelled/delayed in Indonesia due to the volcano eruption in Java. They eventually paid but it was like pulling teeth...
Hi,
I am sending my youngest to Monterey to get a degree in Marine Science. He is going to do some of the dive classes there but can't until the spring since he is already a Rescue Diver. He is a very good warm water diver with excellent buoyancy skills. (I think he has close to 200 dives)...
I am going to Anilao next May and I want to pair it with something else in the Philippines. Liveaboard to Tubbataha, puerto galera, ???
Can anyone give me a recommendation or a little advice? Thanks....
Ok need a little advice from our Bali experts here. We are staying in Tulamben at Villa Markisa for 10 days at the beginning of October, but the hubby wants MORE! We would like to add on some more days so we can dive more of Bali. I know that Nusa Lembongan is a must especially since we would...
Wondering what Fiji is like during December/ January? Water temp and viz? We are considering the Naia so we want to go during the right time of year. Thank for any input!!!
I am looking for some liveaboard advice.... I need to find a place to go in April. It will be myself, my husband and my 16 year old son. My 18 year old might go too but he can't commit yet. My husband and I have been to Belize and Komodo on liveaboards and we are going to Socorro in...
Ok I just found out that my close friend is getting married in Maui in April. I think we are staying in Kihei (or at least the same area). It will be my husband, my son and myself. Our vacations are usually diving intensive trips. Sleep eat dive etc. We like smaller operations.... I also...
I posted a review of my whole trip to Indonesia on the Indonesia forum but I added more detail about the boat on this forum...
KOMODO and THE DEWI NUSANTARA
What a beautiful boat….. We were on the boat within an hour of landing at the airport. The whole crew greeted us as we pulled up...
TULUMBEN AND SCUBA SERAYA
We arrived in Bali on Friday afternoon after 24 hours of transit. The airport was not as bad as we expected but did get a little crazy after we picked up our luggage. We didn’t care too much since we were just happy our bags made it safely. Our transfer...
Hi want to "finally" dive in Monterey and would like some advice. We are a family of four who are used to diving tropical/warm water locals. The boys 15 and 18 have been diving for 5 years and 6 years are used to current and adverse conditions but have never been in kelp. We would like a...
I have the opportunity to go to Raja Ampat next year in November and I was wondering if this is a good time to go? What is the weather like etc.? Also I like to add a few days on the front end of the trip to explore and dive other places so I was wondering what you can add with R4?
Just got back from an awesome week aboard the Belize Aggressor III. We had beautiful weather with calm seas!! A great group of people and fantastic diving made this trip a perfect first liveaboard experience for us. We had 14 people and 13 divers!! Only one diver was a little rusty and the...
Just got my husband this set up with the sola 800 light and the red magic filter. Does he need to take off the filter when using the light or does it depend on depth and distance from the subject? I take pictures not video so I need a little advice... Thanks
I just got my brand new E-PL3 set up with a couple ys-o1 strobes!! I am so excited to try it out but I am a little nervous about doing something stupid and flooding. I have never flooded before but this system has more parts so to speak. I was looking into insurance for POM and I realized...
Very excited and after much deliberation we decided to go to Komodo for our 20th anniversary in June!!! Hoping to get a few days in Bali as well. We are still trying to figure out where to stay in Bali so any recommendations would be appreciated. We like the sounds of Nusa Lembongan......:D
I am upgrading to a new system and have decided to get the Olympus E-PL3. I have had one Af-35 and am ready for an upgrade. I have looked at a couple packages and they all seem to pair the camera with the sea and sea YS-01 or the YS-110a. What is the difference other than the price?
I love...
We are planning a trip for our 20th anniversary in June we have gone from Wakatobi to Fiji and now we have finally decided on the Paradise Dancer / Komodo LOB!! We are so excited about Komodo but we would also like to possibly dive while in Bali! Where should we go? Nusa Lembongan? We have...
I am pretty sure I have decided to get the EPL-3. Now I just need to know what I need to complete my system. No real budget constraints so tell me what I need!!

I have just used a point and shoot compact so any info and advice would be greatly...
I have been using an Olympus Stylus 1030 for about 4 years. I have taken some awesome pics for a compact. I love the ease of using this system. I have been on so many dives where people with their huge complicated systems have flooded their housing, so I am a little nervous about it. I think...
My husband and I are planning a 20 year anniversary trip this June. We were thinking of going to Wakatobi but my husband likes the big stuff way more than the Macro stuff. I have read a few threads and it looks like Fiji might fit the bill. We have been to tahiti and surrounding islands so we...
