Any one, any tips?

Hi guys, I will be travelling India with my non-diving girlfriend in January & so far this looks to be first first non-diving travelling in +10yrs: HELP!! So we will be starting (Vagator) & ending (Palolem) the trip in Goa, but from what I hear it is not really worth it to go diving there? Now I...

Thnx for the info so far! Maybe I should add a little info: I'm a Divemaster with +- 250 dives, & my gf will be a newly certified OW-diver. I'm really into UW-photography, but not hardcore-macro. We are both into snorkling aswell. Keep those secret tips coming pls, both underwater & top side ;-)

Hallo fellow divers & travellers, Totally unexpected, I'll be going to Indonesia for 4 weeks from mid-july to mid-august, with my girlfriend. Apart from flying into Jakarta & checking out the vulcanoes, the only thing that's set is visiting some friends in Padang bai, Bali, where she will be...

So, a photoreport? Just spent 2 weeks on Mafia, diving with Big Blu & staying in their budget-tents. It is an AMAZING place to dive, some of the best I've seen. Most of the animals I had seen before but never in that size or numbers. If you wanna take a look for yourself, here's a link to the...

Hi guys, After asking a lot of questions all-over the web, I thought it would be only correct to give something back. I have to say that after taking a ton of pix with my old S95, I am really happy I updated to the S120 & added an external Inon strobe to my modest set-up. Like many other...

I just bought my flight Dar-Mafia & then I need to fly Mafia-Dar-Zanzibar with Coastal. Apparently there is a 15kg max baggage allowance but as I'm bringing diving gear; camera + strobe & laptop on top of my normal luggage, there is no way I can keep below this. Anyone knows how heavily this is...

Right, looks pretty cool! What exact place are you guys at & do you also dive places like Mnemba or Leven Banks? Any recommendations on must-do-dives overthere? All info is very welcome, as I'll be travelling by myself, so hoping to make some new friends underwater ;-) PS: I'm really into uw...

I'm heading up to Mafia & Zanzibar for 3 weeks of diving & holidays. I'm trying to do this as a backpacker, but apparently that's easier said than done overthere. Any experienced travellers that have some last-minute recomendations or secret tips they wanna share? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to have a bit of a backpacker-diving trip there? Is there any travellers-scene in place like Mafia Island or is it all just package deal hotels a pretty steep prices? I have 4 weeks from 15/01-to-15/02 in 2014 & I have never been to Africa for diving. As I would be travelling by...

Hello again! In the meantime some stuff changed on my job, so now it looks like my trip will be moved forward to mid-to-end-of-January. Everybody who would be interested in joining is still very welcome! Thank you for all this info, I'm taking it all into account. While some people I know have...

That sounds interesting, would you like to share your experience with us?

Glad you like it :-) Has anyone here been to Raja Ampat without taking a liveaboard?

As a diving freak, I always considered Raja Ampat a mythical place, but to be too expensive to visit. Now some friends who did it ànd this site inspired me to do it anyway: Home - Budget accommodation in Raja Ampat, Indonesia Check it out, it's very informative! So it is possible to do it on a...

some pix of 4 dives in Menjangan & 2 in Tulamben... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=323592&id=675561951&l=7ff0a41c9d

Well, I just dived Menjangan TODAY with SpiceDive & it was some of the best diving I've done in a while. They are basic but véry affordable: 40€ for full day of 2 dives+transfer+food. & for that price I got my 1st Pygmee Seahorse AND my 1st Frogfish :D

A slightly different but related matter: I'm visiting friends in Bali & staying at their house in the mountains. My friends are also keen on going diving with me, but they haven't done it since they moved to Bali last year. Now my question: is there any serious risk of getting bent after 2...

Aha, interesting! Most of our customers use the S95 with an Ikelite housing. Any reason for that too?

Well, I was totally crazy about my old G9, so I thought I'd go for a G12... Why do you say the S95 is "much better"?
