Anyone been here lately? I'll be getting there Jan. 11th, 2013 for a 3 week stay. Will probably dive with Club Maxel for the first week, perhaps a few days at Pestana Equador Resort. Any suggestions as to where to spend another week? Any general info that might be helpful? Thanks!

Great report Sieger12. I am hoping to go diving out of AL Lith with Dream Divers at the end of November. But, as I am on my own, looking for other divers to join up with to share boat expenses. Anyone who might be interested, let me know (PM). I have posted 'Saudi in November', but have...

I am planning a dive/site-seeing trip to Saudi Arabia starting at the middle/end of November. Hoping to go to Al Lith resort (Dream Divers) but the diving for one person is expensive. Anyone heading that way about that time who would like to share the boat (the prices of the resort are...

In Bequia, considering heading down to Tobago for a week+. Don't see any recent reports on diving and dive operators. Anyone have recommendations? I am an experienced diver and enjoy all diving but lean toward macro photography. Thanks

Has anyone been there within the last year or so? Looked into going there 4 years ago but work got in the way. I remember hearing that much of the accommodation was being used by some group (can't remember who) a few years ago. Any recent updates would be appreciated!

Will be diving with 'The Dive Bus', looking for a reasonably priced room ($80 - $120). I'll be on my own, without a vehicle, so would like to be near shops and restaurants. Don't need kitchen facilities, just something clean and comfortable, although a pool would be nice. Also, do they have a...

Padang Bai. I've stayed at the Padang Bai Beach Bungalows which has Absolute Scuba dive shop - a good spot. Good dives are the wall and out to the 2 islands. Topi Inn for some good food.

Nishan, I'll be staying in Negombo for a week or so, any dive operator you'd recommend? Thanks!

I'll be in Sri Lanka in Dec./Jan. and am thinking of hoping over to the Maldives (did this in 1978) for a bit. Is there a land based operation/site that has a fair amount of macro? Would someone be able to recommend a place to stay in Male for a night or 2? Is it easy to book something in...

Looking into going to Lankayan as well (spent 2 weeks on Sipidan in 1990 - 8 divers total), just wondering what the weather would be like in December. Thanks!

..a couple of years ago. The only show in town is Miguel's diving, run by a very knowlegable American. You can stay at the place he recommends or there are two modern hotels on the main street beside each other (I moved out of his place as there was an all night party next door he didn't warn...

Check the report on Padang Bai. None divers can hire a car or a car and explore the area, take the bus to Ubud, etc.

I was looking for the pics of the Mandarin fish which you can find at Laha any time of day. Saw them last year near the pier they use to load ice into the fishing boats, they swim around in the day time. Good to hear Maluku Divers has some competition, I stayed at their "resort", thought is was...

I'm planning to head to Davao after 10 days at Dauin. My main interest is macro/close up (ie. everything from the small critters up to frog fish size) photography. Considering Samal Island, the cheaper rooms at the Pearl Farm are booked the days I would like to be there (Feb. 17th - 23d) - any...

with Rueben, going anywhere else will cut your dive days by at least 2. Loloata is a diver findly spot with lots to see (can be some strong currents though). they will pick you directly from the airport.

I had a very enjoyable time there a year ago. It's a funky old town. I stayed in a cottage at the Royal Hotel, very nice. Good dive operator. No big hype here, laid back!

I was on the Moonshadow 3 years ago in April. It's probably the smallest boat to go out - 8 divers. It is basic but the owner has been doing this for years, so is very organized. I found the rooms hot, so I slept out on the deck which was great. The food was pretty good and overall I had no...

Rushingphil. There where whale sharks there 2 weeks ago, but as you know, no one can gaurantee their being there on any given day. Good luck!
