    Going back to Indo in December 2015 - But were....after Raja Ampat??

    I can't speak for the timing in terms of weather, as my trip was in June, 2009, but I really enjoyed Lembeh. I stayed and dove with Divers Lodge Lembeh and had an amazing time. The critters were phenomenal, and the service was fantastic, both in the resort and on the dive boat. Well worth a...

    Suggestions for October 17-25, 2015?

    Thanks everybody for the feedback. I've decided to hit Bali for October to avoid the possibility of poor weather/conditions at the start of the season for the Similans. Given that I live here, I'll just hit them in the winter/spring some other year.

    The liveaboard doesn't limit my diving while I'm on it. Rather, for an eight night/nine day trip the liveaboard will not fill the entire trip. Depending on how the transfers/timing work out, I could lose a day of diving in the middle. Then, when the liveaboard is finished, I end up shore diving...

    Stevenl, thanks for the tip on Oktavia. I'm still looking around, as I'm thinking a liveaboard isn't necessarily the best given that I want to dive as many of my nine days as possible. The liveaboard would limit that a little bit. I've also heard October is a bit iffy with weather. Given that I...

    Suggestions for a one-week dive holiday (October 17-25, 2015)?

    Very cool Centrals. Thanks for the tips. I'm still working on possibilities. Bali seems to be on the forefront right now, but I'm working on learning more about PG and other places in the Phillipines. Thanks again. Lowell

    Suggestions for Dive Holiday, 17-25 October

    Thanks for the tips Dirtfarmer. I dove with Divers Lodge Lemben in 2009 and had an absolutely amazing first-class experience. Hence, my desire to return. But prices have gone up (everywhere, it seems) and airfare isn't nearly as easy. Komodo would be fantastic, but I think price and flights are...

    Suggestions for Dive Holiday, 17-25 October

    I've got one week to dedicate to a dive holiday in October and I'm trying to find options. I currently live in Bangkok, so I'd be flying out of there. I'm looking for either a liveaboard or dive resort where I can get 4 dives per day, including a night dive, each day of my trip. My budget isn't...

    I've got one week to dedicate to a dive holiday and I'm considering something in Thailand. I currently live in Bangkok, so getting there would be easy. It seems the Similans might not be available at that time? Any other options? Thanks. Lowell

    RIP Quero

    I am just learning this news today. I went to FB to send Marcia a message to ask her to organize a dive trip for me next October. I was hoping to figure out a way to have her dive with me as well, because she was an amazing guide. Her love of the ocean came through in everything she did. I...

    Le Gosier, Guadeloupe?

    I have a possible opportunity to travel to Le Gosier on Guadeloupe next summer and wondered about diving there. I've been to Dominica and absolutely loved it. But a search for Le Gosier on SB turned up nothing, and Guadeloupe turns up many non-relevant locations. Any thoughts? I'd be staying...

    Moving to Bucharest

    Hello, I'll be moving to Bucharest, Romania in August after three years in Thailand. I'm originally from Seattle, Washington, USA where I learned to dive in Puget Sound. Does anybody from Romania have any tips on the local diving? Seems like there are a couple dive shops in Constanta, with...

    How is the diving in Koh Chang?

    I can give you a bit of background on Koh Chang. (But I can't help you with conditions in January specifically.) I went there for a week in October and got five dives in and had a great time. (Find pictures and a dive report here.) I currently do most of my diving in the gulf out of...

    Diving around Surfer's Paradise in December/January?

    I'll be staying at a resort in Surfer's Paradise this winter for a week. I did a search on ScubaBoard for information and came up blank. Any good diving in the area? I won't have time for a liveaboard of any sort...just day trips. (Traveling with family...currently in negotiations for how...

    A few critters from Thailand...

    Vie, Thanks for the ID. Of course, as soon as you give me the ID and I find it in my book, I slap my forhead and go "Duh!" But I didn't catch it the first time because I was focusing on the cone shells. The general consensus on the boat that day was that this was a cone shell (and...

    Suggestions for one-week dive vacation in June, 2009?

    I appreciate the info. My original thought was to come visit you in Phuket and head out for a liveaboard in the Similans, but as I found out, the park is closed in June. Oh well... So now I'm considering other places. One friend has suggested Lembeh Straight. Any dive ops you'd...
