    Palawan vs Apo

    I have dived in Apo island off Negros and I thought the diving was good, not great like Cozumel, but pretty good. How does Palawan compare with that? I saw this video and it looks amazing!

    Want to get back into diving regularly

    Thanks for all the responses...yes, I will definitely try meetup, I'm actually a member and see several meetup events. I really want to figure out my ears and see what the issue is. Equalization seems to be much more difficult for me in cold water here in Southern California than in a place...

    Want to get back into diving regularly

    So, it's been several years since I was diving regularly. My last dive was in Mykonos when I was vacationing in Greece in early 2015, nothing fancy just 2 quick dives. I also did a dive refresher in 2015 but of course it's 2017 now and I have not dived at all since then. Primary reasons are: -...

    Looking for buddy for Sep. 27 Magician to Catalina

    oh that's cool. Yeah I would not mind doing Anacapa and would love to join. I haven't dived in a while though I did a refresher a couple months ago. I'll sign up for the Explorer. I think we've dived together before a few times in the past :) This was ages ago!

    Skydiving

    well, the thing I am concerned with is that with SCUBA if I can't clear then I will just abort the dive... with skydiving once you jump you're screwed if you can't clear! But I wonder how much clearing is actually needed... assuming one does not have a cold is it possible to blow a eardrum if...

    Diving in Iceland

    it's located in Thingvellir National Park, I wasn't aware that Silfra isn't the location of the continental boundary...as far as I've read it is. Þingvellir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article does mention it as the tectonic plate boundary: Silfra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

    Silfra crack diving

    I will... I am not 100% sure I am heading to Iceland as I am choosing between Belize and Iceland right now as possible destinations for my end of May vacation. Everything in Iceland costs an arm and a leg, it's just an expensive place but hey, it's Europe and high prices are a way of life there.

    Skydiving

    Never done due to fear of my ears. I have always had ear issues when diving and I frequently get ear pain at the slightest change in altitude. Infact my ears are so sensitive I can even get pops when I drive up a mountain road and I frequently get ear pain when I travel by air. I have never...

    Diving Vacation in May

    I have dove both Koh Tao and also the Similans on the other side (via Liveaboard), the Similans (Andaman Sea) is way way way better than Koh Tao, any day, it's not even a contest!!! I have dived all over the Red Sea as well, I would suggest Dahab, it's a quiet nice romantic sort of place as...

    Where to go - Mexico/Central America/Carribean

    why only 2 tanks a day? When I was in Cozumel I used to do 3-4 dives a day sometimes, morning session and then afternoon the boat goes back out for 2 more dives. Sometimes I would do 1 afternoon dive in addition to 2 morning dives. Never been to Bonaire though but I have heard it's mostly...

    Socal to Texas

    fantastic info driftwood.... is the flower garden banks usually by liveaboard or do they do 1 day trips as well? Diving here in SoCal is good but it's cold water diving (low 60s water usually), I prefer warm water diving as I get cold really easy :)

    Why do you dive so deep?

    nobody dives deeper than is required.... that would be quite an odd thing to do. One usually dives to see and explore whatever it is they want to see and should be diving only to the depth required to achieve that goal. Perhaps a very small percentage of divers engage is testing their limits...
