Hi; I can certainly recommend Fuvahmulah for one week diving if you like pelagic life. It's still an untouched Island without fancy restaurants and nice coctailbasr at the beachfront. You can't even find alcohol on the Island. So if diving is your main purpose I can really recommend it. It's...

Fuvahmulah is a remote Island 500km south of Male (Maledives). The place was not available for tourism for a long time. Some liveaboards (deep south) pass there for 1 day/night. I stayed for about 8 days on the Island. Recently there was a dive operator who started up on the island and I dived...

Fakarava diving center is renamed in Kaina Plongée: Fakarava Diving Center, centre de plongée en Polynésie française New owner is Vincent. I dived with him last year and I can really recommend him.

In the pass: mostly grey reef sharks, some whitetips and sometimes silvertips. In the shallower area: mostly blacktips. They stay in the area. The grey reef sharks are cruising against the current in the channel. Why? I don't know. Big hammerheads and tigersharks are more lucky shots. They come...

I did both places.Similarities: both places have 2 passes. Mostly you dive with incoming current. Species are similar. Differences: in Rangiroa you have more chance to dive with dolphinsFakarava: corals are in a better shape, you see more sharks than in Rangiroa. Rangiroa and Fakarava North are...

Tnx! I am not sure if I read your words well but at the beginning I wanted to name this video "Jaws, the makeover" because that movie did so many bad things in the mind of the people. OK, we divers know better but I still know a lot of divers who are afraid of sharks. On this trip there were...

Here some additional info of my trip. I did 36 dives. 14 in Rangiroa, 16 in South Fakarava, 6 in North Fakarava. Rangiroa: I dived with Club Raie Manta. The divecenter is owned by Yves Lefebvre, pioneer of the diving in Rangiroa. I dived mostly with Frank, a very good instructor who knows the...

After 1 week in the south of Fakarava I am now in the North and dived already a couple of days with Vincent of Fakarava Diving Center. I agree, he knows the reef very well, has a very goodf knowledge of marine life and doesn't thread you like a child (like other divecenters sometimes do). So I...

Tnx for the quick reply. Well, I was looking also at the GH 4 but there's now also a B-camera of Panaconic: the LX100 and the reviews are pretty good for 4K. But at this moment there is no housing available.

Amazing video! I will be in Fakarava and Rangi next January. What camera did you use? I am just planning to change my camera before this trip. And I would like to have also 4K.

I did in May 2014 a 2-week trip with the Don Questo in the deep South. I liked it very much. Very pristine and a lot of stuff to see: hammers, silky's , manta's and and even a whale shark. Here is a small clip of our trip: Counting Fish - Underwater Research in Sudanese Red Sea - Media -...

I will be diving in January in Rangiroa and Fakarava. In Fakarava (north) I was planning to dive with Fakarava diving center. But the owner (Serge) answered me that he is selling his business. Other options at this moment are: Top dive and Dive spirit. The reviews about Top dive are mixed. What...

"A very very disturbing article about Bangka Death metal: the island that's paying the price for your tablet (Wired UK)" This is an article about Bangka near Sumatra

Good news! But the question is always: "Are there resources/efforts to enforce this measure?" On my last visit to Komodo there was 1 boat patrolling the whole area and that one was broken...

I know there is a liveaboard MY Deli MY Deli | Regaldive I have not been there yet but it's on my shortlist.

Next year I will be on a 14d dive trip in South Sudan. My flight shedule is Amsterdam/Dubai/Port Sudan. I am considering to take a break of 4 days at Dubai and dive in Musandam. Is this a good and realistic plan? If yes, which diveoperator? Near good divesites? There are several (extra divers...

Hello, I will be diving for 1 week next March on the Protea Banks. Should I add also Umkomaas (for 1 or 2 days) or is it very similar?
