Hello! I cannot agree more; Komodo! You will be blown away not only by the underwater scenery but above as well. Komodo has it all. Big stuff, small stuff, sharks & mantas, dragons :) and almost no others boats around. You will feel special in a majestic place. Palau is great however not...

Hi, Both are good! Great dive guides, small groups, accommodate as much as possible to all types of divers. You will have a fantastic time with either one. When are you going and for how long?

Indeed, this is so true; "cold" is different for everyone. Isn't nice to dive without a suit an feel the water? :D But let's face it Mclougs, I think like most of us you do get cold easily and there is nothing worse than a dive where you are shivering. The only thing you can think about is to...

I did "flame" quite a few masks. They did not get damaged in any ways and do not fog anymore :D I also find it a lot faster & easier than scrubbing. I must say, i was also a little worried the first time, but after seeing the effectiveness I converted :)

I'm afraid I won't write any trip report because my English is not good enough. I will post soon a report on my dives at Pulau Island in a French forum (Plongeur.com). As I can see, you speak French...:) Bjr Emmanuel, j'irais lire ton report sur plongeur.com. However I think your English...

Hi Sonar, Definitely change in Indonesia. Bali being the best place (they have cold bintang too). However it would be nice to a few rupiahs for the taxi ride to your hotel, unless it is already arranged? You will still have to tip though :-) Just make sure to have 25 usd cash to pay for your...

Hi Mike, I would say you just should wait until you are very comfortable with buoyancy. Depending on people it may take more or less dives. A camera will throw off your balance and you will have to adjust again once you dive with one. If you are an experienced diver it will be "easy" task...

Bonjour Emmanuel, I was in Pulau Weh in 1998...Lumba Lumba was already there and I had a fantastic time diving with them. They know the area like there pocket. At the time there wasn't much choice regarding accommodation & restaurant on Gapang Bay and I believe that after the Tsunami they...

Have you checked "Divemaster"? They are in Sanur.

Hello ScubaDawn, It could indeed be fire coral. Do you remember what the reef looked like where you touched it? Check the below links from DAN: DAN Divers Alert Network DAN Divers Alert Network I would seek doctor's advice if symptoms persist.

Exciting! I started diving in the last century :-) well, 1997, in Asia. I got hooked from the first minute and spent the next few months studying and taking all the courses up to divemaster and eventually to IDC Staff Instructor. I love it so much it has been my job ever since. 5000 dives...

Hello Goddessfish, From my experience. Be sure everything is healed properly before diving again. The only person able to advise you here is your doctor. I think you made the right decision. It is not always easy to postpone a trip especially if planned for a while already. However, you...

Welcome! I hope indeed you will find a lot of new ideas to bring you to dive more often. In most places in Asia-Pacific you will find a buddy on site, no need to bring your own :D . Enjoy your trip to Kona! Bob.

Enjoy the diving, great food and amazing people! And don't forget to visit the country; it is an amazing place. I do not think you have to worry about much. Phuket is just around the corner and has literally everything you might need :-)

The best herbal saunas and massages in Rawai :-) (why am I in Europe right now, tsk tsk)

Hi! If you are heading for Indonesia I would look at Bunaken & Lembeth. 2.5 weeks might a little too tight to fit in Raja Ampat which is really worth it. If you are flexible on time I would definitely check it out. Sipadan is fantastic and you can go wrong there. Now, weather is a...

Reason 235: diving Koh-Bon first thing in the morning with mantas

Reason 234:you can walk on flip-flops year around

Hi Phil, We have stayed at villa Markisa a number of times and I must say we have never been disappointed by the resort, the food or the diving. Dive guides are indeed excellent and will tailor the diving day to your schedule and will make sure to find every single critter on your wish list...

Hello Dawn, We hope you are doing better and that the healing will be quick. Please check DAN website DAN Divers Alert Network for more info. "There is concern about the disruption of blood supply to the area where the surgery was performed. The formation of scar tissue and altered...
