I have an Apeks TX50 setup from around 2000 that still works perfectly. I’m sorry but I don’t know what the first stage is called. I believe it was the “usual one” that came with TX50s back then. I now need to replace one of the second stages. I always found the originals a bit bulky and...

Thanks. I have definitely considered tiger beach. It may not make sense to some, but I think I would enjoy the unpredictability of hopefully seeing one at cocos vs the tiger beach experience. I can always keep TB as a backup plan. A friend just went out in October and reported multiple...

I am familiar with the usual information regarding diving seasons at Cocos, but I am specifically curious about tiger shark encounters. Are they completely random, or are they more likely at certain times of the year? Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. Forgive my ignorance. I had previously been advised that Aggressor was generally a "good" bet. It looked like they might have better access/stock to rental or backup gear in case that was needed compared to GS. I'm on a longer trip with my and diving is only part of...

Hi. Bucket list trip. I have only done one other liveaboard in my life (Spirit of Freedom-Cairns). All of the operators seem reasonable so I was going to go with Aggressor for "brand" reasons, but can get on Galapagos Sky for cheaper. Any reason I should still go with Aggressor despite the...

I think the first shop you mentioned must be gone. I have been to the other shop. Owner seems like a nice guy. No idea what the quality of instruction is like.

I'm going to be in Exmouth / Coral Bay to do some diving in June, but I'd like to do more than "just" dive while I'm in Western Australia. I'm planning on 4 to 5 non-diving days in addition to my week of diving. Any suggestions on what would be fun to do? Thanks.

While I'd like to say that the future holds for me many trips to Australia / the South Pacific, I'm not sure. This may well be my one and only trip to the area. =( Thanks for everyone's replies as they have been very helpful.

I'd like to thank everyone for their replies so far as all have been helpful. Looks to me like Western Australia is winning. Any other opinions? What about Exmouth vs. Coral Bay?

Hi everyone. This is my first post to the board (woohoo) although I've been lurking here for ages. I need some help with travel plans. My wife and I will be visiting Australia this June and will have 1 week's worth of time to do some diving while we are there. Right now we're having...
