Hi, We are looking at maybe booking a weeks break to El Dorado Suites and have a few questions - hope someone can help. Ive done a few searches on SB and have got quite a bit of info already... Has anyone any experience of diving with Dive Adventuras, who are based in the Marina at Puerto...

Manny If you have seen Air Jaws, or any of a number of Nat Geo / Discovery programmes about GW's near Cape Town, chances are it was Rob Lawrence and/or Chris Fallows. They run seperate, but linked, operations out of Simonstown (about 45 mins or so from Cape Town toward Cape Point). They do...

maybe time away from the family is what is really wanted ....!! RobAtheron - we're thinking of nuweiba in october...any tips or advice greatly received

cheers....shame about the Spurs

Tail end of monsoons can affect Sipadan and Mabul. I stayed a few time on Mabul, DM's were generally very friendly and helpful when off-dive, and duriing a dive they were attentive of their groups, had good eyes for spotting interesting things, and were SAFE! Usually it is 1 DM per group - 6 -...

We stayed in Flic en Flac, near Wolmar on the West Coast. Its a pretty small place but travel by road can take a while. We hired a car and covered most of the southern half. Lovely place. I dove with Sun Divers, based out of La Piroge hotel in Flic en Flac. They were good, pretty good dives...

Looking at a week or so in October, and Nuweiba seems to have come up as a possible choice. Got a non-diving wife so the attraction of a trip to Petra seems to be the compromise! Can anyone tell me what the diving is like, which dive companies are there (and good) and any info on hotels etc etc...

hey, We were in SA in July, had our Great White trip cancelled twice cos of the weather - gutted!! The exchange rate isnt as good from the UK now as it was about 18 months ago, but its still really cheap. Only problem is that the flights can br pricey, especially this year with the Lions...

I wasnt sure what was "lucky" about swimming 6km back to shore to be honest. The 6km could have been a simple misunderstanding - in the same way I keep telling my wife that 6 inches is smaller than she thinks........

Might have the opportunity to visit Mauritius in July this year. Ive been recommended Sun Divers (whilst staying at La Piroge) Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on diving in Mauritius, Sun Divers or any other Centres cheers

Vailchef... just out of curiosity how many languages can you speak, and how many can you write? Lets not belittle other peoples written English when its entirely possible that English is not their first language (or indeed second or third).

When I was at Mabul Water Bungalows, our dives were organised into three dives per day on a 2-day cycle roughly as follows: Cycle 1: 0900 - Mabul/Kapalai 1100 - Mabul Kapalai 1400 - Sipadan Cycle 2: 0600 - Sipadan 0900 - Sipadan 1100 - Mabul/Kapalai So we had three dives at Sipadan...

Hi, Weve been looking at Thonga Beach Lodge - anybody have any experiences here? cheers

Hi Sylpha, Im thinking of Thonga in July - Thonga Beach Lodge - how did you find your trip? We are looking at some suba around KZN, sort of Sodwana/Thonga region. Any advice you mite be able to give greatly appreciated - vis, temperatures, what kinda things might I see, is it really busy, any...

Looking at being in the area around July. Looking for advice and guidance on diving in the KZN area, Ive heard a little about Sodwana Bay etc, but also want to do safari - perhaps in Umfalozi - so would like to somehow combine the two. Is it advisable to stay for example in St Lucia and travel...

The False Bay area is pretty renowned - Travel Gurls post pretty much sums it up. For an idea you might want to look at ultimate-animals dot com, or apexpredators dot com, both of whom go out to Seal Island

hey, Been looking into this also...... The cage diving can be done in gansbaai - conbsidered the better place - however False Bay (from Simonstown) is also considered excellent as there is the potential to see sharks breaching - literally jumping out of the water when hunting! You generally...

Thanks. My brother, who is also coming to Marsa, is a DM with alot of experience and he will be my buddy. We need to find dive sites that will be good for him as well as for my level. I know he is very keen to dive Elphinstone an dit would be a shame for me to miss out, or for us not to be able...

My broter is a DM, and sort of got me into Scuba, and he also convinced me and the wife to join him on hols in Marsa - neither of our wives dive (or swim really) so we're hoping they can keep each other company whilst we dive. Same applies for our summer trip - maybe combine a safari (the wife's...

Just joined the site, and a recent convert to scuba - seemed to have caught the bug tho! Did my Open Water in 2006 in Costa Rica, and have clocked up only about 15 dives so far, between Costa Rica and Sipadan/Mabul. Just booked a weeks trip to Marsa Alam in March, and looking at an African trip...
