I feel safer in Indo and even Jakarta than I do in LA ,San Fran, NY or even Santa Ana in southern CA.

They did have us do fire drills, the one thing I am 100% sure about I would NEVER sleep below, any boat no matter what. When I was young, early 80's I did do about 10 dive trips on that boat Conception out of Santa Barbara, I was young and stupid. Maybe we didn't have as many batteries back...

Thank you very much for a civil response to what I wrote. I dove alone for 10 years when I was young. But as I get older and in a new place it's nice to have someone who has been there before especially when there is a strong current. One time they dropped us off in a bad spot but the guide was...

When booking I was only looking at the most expensive trips. If I could have found a more expensive one I would have booked that. Oh well. Sticking to what I know here out.

Yea first time. I thought I was booking one of the top best boats. Can't believe everything you read. Oh well, did it once. I am spoiled and too old. :)

White Manta Diving - KM Blue Manta - FYI for your BS 22 guest - 20 crew - I have been on this boat many times. never more than 18 divers, sometimes less but always 20 Crew. White Manta and Blue Manta. BTW do you have any idea how big Indonesia is? You could not dive all the sites in a...

Literally all but maybe 4 people were not smokers. Crew and Guest. I was surprised also.

Please keep in mind that this review is coming from an experienced diver who might be a bit accustomed to certain luxuries. I've been diving since 1974 and have been on so many live-aboard boats that I've lost count. My initial observation was that this boat is narrower than what I'm used to...

My goal was just wanting it closer to my D9 watch. Sometimes to pair it works faster if almost touching it. A hand full of times it I did not pair it before or got separated it will not pair, then I am forced to shut off the air and turn it back on while holding the watch right next to...

I am too old for cold water and heavy wetsuits :)

Thanks, that is a great idea, a week was too short and two back to back trips too long. I WILL check out a charter boat out of Jeddah. Thanks! Yea Chop Chop Square does not sound good.

LOL Thanks, but I bet. he is right, has to be better than anyone I can book a trip on. :)

MBS?

Like to go this year maybe in August. Never been to the Red Sea. I have been all over Indonesia last 23 years, time for a change. Not into old boats. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Carl

Never seen these short hoses before. Maybe good idea. Mine is just screwed into 1st stage all these years. I never like that it could be used for a handle but never had an issue. But I really would like it closer, connecting sometimes is a lot faster if closer to the watch. Is that the reason...

Maybe covid is getting weaker or maybe vax's are making it easier, no one knows for sure. It was an 11 day trip, only one person didn't dive for 3 days, everyone else just missed 2 day. I never tested positive I been close to many people that had covid, really close, I slept in same bed. I did...

I just got back from a trip in Indonesia, all tested negative boarding boat, first day 1 covid, second day 2 more, next day 5 or 7, I lost count. 16 divers. 24 crew never got it. They were all better and negative after 2 days, and we all had a great time. Actually no one went crazy, just...

I use Titanium strap for the start, here is picture of my 10 year old strap that I never used. In a plastic bag in a box. Can't even pick it up. Guess they were all made in China.

Not the issue at all. Bottom line the plastic that was inside the BC just crumbled up and fell apart. It was bad plastic, I am wondering if this was just this one BC or the whole line of this model. Mine is older than my buddies but feels strong to me. Maybe hers came from different lot or...
