Ah Ok, I didn't know about that. Sad to hear Never met him personally but heard he was a good man

Why RIP? their FB shows activity. I heard they closed and reopened several times though Paradise divers doesn't seem as active as it used to be anymore. Too bad

Good day all, Been a while since I was active here. Got a lot of great advice here for my DM in PG with Dive Dojo I will be going to El Nido on a family trip without any divers in the beginning of May. I will stay 2 days extra on my own to do some diving. Will likely be staying in, or near...

Hi Guys, I have a few days off once I am in Manila. It's my understanding that Subic is the nearest location and that Anilao/ Batanagas is too rough at the moment. PG is a bit too far. Is there any other destination at <3 hours from manila to consider? A short live-a-board would also be an...

Hi, all, I'll be heading to Sumatra for max 1 month in January. I know there is malaria in Sumatra but how does everybody deal with that? I suppose DMs and instructors don't take pills month after month.. They get resistant to them and they cost more a month than a DM makes I suppose.. I hear...

One more question; did you take precautions against malaria? where there a lot of musquitos? How did other travellers and instructors and DMs deal with that?

great! just what I was looking for :D thx :)

Thanks for the report. I booked my ticket just today; also from KL to bandeh. Good to hear you could make the 1600 ferry with an hour delay. Was my only 'worry' How is life on the island apart from diving? I assume life is wake up - dive 3x - eat a lot - 3 drinks and sleep early? I understood...

i have just returned from a 4/4 trip on the manta. Was a great trip. Many thanks to everyone aboard and to StevenL for the nice offer and good service. I can recommend contacting him for any last minute offers; he replies quick. I don't want to post his mailaddress here so I suggest sending...

Good day all, Just booked a last minute ticket; arrive Tuesday in BK. Does anybody know a good site for budget last minute liveaboard trips? Looking for a simple trip; 2-5 days. Travelling alone, don't care for luxury, don't have equipment, done 120 dives, DM, prefer nitrox What are the most...

Only been to white beach once, at night. Was pretty nice. Lot of local tourists. I liked it. I would never go to sabang if not for diving. Nightlife is just hookers and bars that close too early.

(sorry for the hijack) I'll stay in Jan Thiel in my friends appartment. How long is the drive to Westpoint from there? How is diving in the Jan Thiel/ Spaanse Water- area?

great pictures! how many dives did it take to get these? Sure you got a crazy setup..

Anybody knows if DiveDojo still operates/ operates again? and if Ethei is still around?

I recall a crazy night in Coron. Stayed in a hotel on a island. Went to a bar in Coron with a complmentary boat trip. Guy told us we had to return at 2300 cause that was the last boat ride scheduled. Ended up getting totally wasted.. Around 2300 we asked the guy if it was Ok if we stayed for...

I was in Gili Trawanang in April 2011. Had a great time there. If I wanted to do my DM there I would go in January-April BECAUSE it's low- season. It was still very busy but just to the extend it's bearable. Also costwise; prices drop up to 50%. However, diving there isn't special. There are a...

Did my DM in PG. Enjoyed it a lot pro's - diversity in diving - 25 sites at <10 minutes by boat - lot of serious divers (read somewhere "PG is the world capital of tech diving") - In PG (sabang actually) are a lot of restaurants/ bars/ a supermarkt etc. - almost all tourists are there for...

heard good things about them; surprised by your story I suggest Danny'sss for budget live-a-board trips; had a great time there more than great actually

that sounds good indeed; going to search for some more info online. Thanks a lot! looks like you had a nice holiday :)
