Great report, you nailed what has had me going for ten years. I was Honored to have named the latest Tiger to show up. Joeli allowed me to call it Kerri for a diver in our group who did this dive on her 14th dive!

No Nitrox at Beqa =/

Thanks for the great report parkerco and the photos bax737. A group of 28 of us are booked on a trip to BLR for late Feb 2011 and as you can imagine I'm counting down the days with even more anticipation now. I do have some questions about the flight though. Did you find the plane was very full? I usually try to leave a seat between myself and my GF on flights as I have broad shoulders and I'm wondering if this will be an effective strategy. Obviously with the flight at a different time of year your answer may not mean anything but I'm curious as to how full this flight is typically.

Economy was 99% full there and back ... if it's in the financial cards, you can get upgrades to first class at the check-in desk cheaper than you can book them, but still not super cheap (think it was $600ish for the upgrade at the airport).

Seacreatures, great photos! Enjoyed your video (and past ones I've seen) as well.

Ambien CR is the cheapest upgrade you can get, one little pill, and 7 to 8 hours later your up

Great report Seacreatures, you've got me sold on the place.
Matt, I would enjoy hearing a trip report. I am considering putting together a trip to BLR for 2012.
