Just got back from our 6th trip to CocoView resort. I thought 5 would be our last but after a year on dry land and the ease of Coco diving we decided to make another run. I am so glad we did. Mitch and Deb (the managing force) have made subtle but definite changes. All in the right direction...

the voice of reason. Well said. I love Roatan. We are heading back to Coco View very shortly. That said I am not sure i am on board with RMP. A lot of questionable moves and stories over the years. I am much more comfortable diving with Coco, which has as mentioned above, pioneered much of the...

I know "conditions" change but anyone know what the diving around Cocoview is like in May? We have been March, June and August. March was a bit cool for us. june is generally great. Thanks

Thanks to all. We are still researching. Palau may still be in the mix. And now, outta left field, I am looking at Raja to Lembeh with a few days in Lembeh land based to finish up.... Or, Lembeh land based to a Komodo liveaboard through Bali. Things do change fast. So, the question gets acute...

Gotta say, I like your style and sounds like fun but with a day of deco between flights I see alot of dry days in your itinerary. With a total of 3 weeks vacation a year I just cant see spending that much time topside. Been to Honolulu. No thanks. Left LA due to crowds and traffic. Spas? cant...

I have been reading about palau. Up to date it has sounded like a great location but after digging deeper it sounds like it is getting a bit crowded. We have focused on dive time (4-6 dives a day) and mostly macro with wide angle opportunities considered a bonus. For this reason alot of trips...

Hello all, In need of info fro Palau. Best time of year? Best Live aboard? Best land based? Last year we did Puerto Galera. Loved it but mostly macro. Sounds like Palau is a good mix of big and small (?). The wife is also ready for a live aboard (all other trips have been land based)...

Hi all, We have done CocoView, Roatan many years due unlimited dives per day. 2 Dives a day isnt going to cut it but we really would like to try Cozumel. Any suggestions for an Op that offers 3-4 a day? Any suggestions for lodging or should we look all inclusive? Thanks in advance!

We want a good mix of Macro and big stuff. Thinking Palau, Philippines, Fiji. An other ideas? What boats? Thank you, Erik

Hello all, Earlier this year my wife and I spent a week at Atlantis in Puerto Galera. It was simply amazing. That week has ruined the Caribbean for us! We are looking at a liveaboard and a few days at Atlantis. My question is what liveabord and what area. I cant see doing a trip in the same...

Hello all, I have only dove the Comal once before. We parked at Himan Park, right next to the exit. We tried it again yesterday, Himan/West Common was chained off. I assume this is normal. When does this begin and end? And why? Also, Landa Park was full so we just dropped off gear and people...

cssp?

I honestly dont know. There was a very small juvenile (about a cm long) and two about 20cm. The two were walking around together and changing color. The DM had seen them before and said usually in pairs. I don't know if they are a cross or a species of their own but they sure look like a...

Here is a link to some shots from Puerto Galera. This was our first time and will not be our last. Cant say enough good about the location and the resort (Atlantis). Still having a tough time digesting it all. Philippine favs - a set on Flickr

I was told originally that baggage restrictions were based on the original carrier the flight was booked thru (American). Today I was told that Philippine Airlines only allows carry ons to 15lbs and checked bags to 30lbs. Anyone have experience with the trip from the US to Manila via PEK...

Going to Puerto Galera at the end of the month. What pest precautions should we take? What kind of biters should we expect?

Hey, thats our room! Great report. Glad you had a good trip. Love that place.

Never been to Roatan or Coco View but let me give you my opinion anyway..... Just kidding. As noted above the boats are 55' long and in five trips we have not had more than 12 n board and that varies day to day as other get tired. They also have a center well or opening to get on board. It is...
