A trip to Hawaiian Islands of Oahu, Maui and Big Island, diving the hotspots of each one!

I don’t normally post stuff from Yahoo News, but I thought this one was uplifting and worthy of posting. Giant manta ray is seen 'begging' snorkeller for help I think they look more like freedivers.

I just finished editing my video from a recent trip over Christmas to the Revillagigedo Islands aka Socorro. Current was very slow but we still had good big animal encounters. I used the Sony A6500 with a 10-18mm F4 lens in a Nauticam Housing. I hope you guys enjoy:

Diving with Manta Rays off the coast of Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia. This site is also a good place for snorkelers to observed these giant and gentle creatures. I shot this on a Gopro Hero 6, 1080P, 60fps.

We are planning a vacation to Hawaii next year in March and would LOVE to do a Manta dive. Due to our itinerary we are only staying on Maui and Oahu. Do any outfitters leave from those islands for Manta rays? I understand the Big Island is best for Mantas but was wondering if it is still...

In March 2018 I spent 7 nights on the Samambaia diving in Raja Ampat. So far this has been my favorite livaboard. The Samambaia is a beautiful wooden ship. It’s very spacious and every detail is thought of. Everywhere on the ship you find little place to relax and enjoy. It’s no problem to get...

Hi, Living in Hong Kong I should have known about Ishigaki, Okinawa. But it took my company's regional meeting in Okinawa to get me there....especially in September / October chances are very high to spot one, and not just one! Juergen

My partner and I are off to Costa Rica in January for 3 weeks and are looking forward to some diving. We are of course happy to see what we can, but one of the big draws is to try to see Manta Rays. We have both been diving for around 15 years, but only on vacation - although this has been...

The first week, my wife and I were on the Big Island and Kauai with family, so we only managed a few dives. We were alone on Maui the following week, where we did most of our diving—overall, thirteen dives over two weeks. From this trip, our best dives were at Mala Pier on Maui and Place of...

I made a video about the physics of fish swimming - for small fish, viscosity dominates the movement of fish through water, for large fish, it's inertia. I discuss Ed Purcell's classic paper "Life at low Reynolds numbers". I hope this is educational. Enjoy!

I am making a return dive trip to Kona in August, and I will be staying at a condo a few blocks away from the Sheraton. I am wondering if anyone has done the manta night dive at the Sheraton as a shore dive. I did a boat dive at the old airport last year, and it was wonderful, but super...

1. Whale Shark The largest fish on the planet is not only at the top of our list, it is also an absolute highlight for most divers. No wonder then that we get daily enquiries about when and where to find and dive with whale sharks. In Thailand there are spots where lucky divers can come...
