Hi all, Are there any liveaboard operators operating in/to Sri Lanka? Or would you know of any operators willing to relocate to Sri Lanka for a special charter trip? I'm looking at charting a diving liveaboard for a special expedition there. Thanks in advance

True Zivva. But as you already indicate this will never happen in Bali, since the diving industry (i.e. the direct, short-term benefits) is just too important for local economy (yes I know, reason enough to enforce proper procedures, but hey this is Indonesia). For now the only thing people...

Ah, we dive Tepekong/Mimpang that day as well (followed by a raging current at the Jetty as the third...). Did you see the Thresher shark at Tepekong as well? about 30m deep, must have been >2 m long. [/COLOR] It will certainly happen more often, as most of the boats are poorly equipped and...

I was told by some locals that they dived Sakenan as the third dive, not Crystal Bay. CB is often used interchangeably with Nusa Penida anyway. "Mangroves" is the site just before Sakenan. The current usually goes in the direction of Blue Corner, and then into the channel towards Serangan / Nusa...

Generally, dive conditions are fine the whole year. If you really encounter massive showers for a few days, sites like Tulamben and Amed might be a murky in the top 5 meters (because of river run-off), but other than that diving is similar the rest of the year. I saw my first Sunfish in March a...

Would be good if Pego good actually tell us here what he saw. Would also be good if BaliSharks would speak with this particular staff and EnaDive Management (+ Paul Tanner?)

Have a look at balifreediving.com, Oli is a great AIDA Instructor!

There's not much diving on any IDC, as you read before. Our IDC gives you 1 week of diving before the start of the IDC itself. Moreover we offer a 28-day program, incl IDC prep and MSDT prep, which is much more relaxed then standard 12-ish day programs. 15 mins from the dive center you will find...

And if your guest "accidentally" caught sharks and they would like to have them "for their meal"? And how do you refute this, EnaDive? I would choose a more eco-friendly operator for my Bali dives, If I were a tourist!

So many dodgy dive shops, and I've seen so much bad behaviour... What can you do about it? Molas are so important for Bali/diving/locals, that it is hard to tell ppl not to visit Crystal Bay anymore... However, if we want to reduce fatalities, I think we should do (a combination of) this: -...

Sorry to bring up this discussion again, and thanks Internet_Pawn (I assume the DMTs father) for reacting. I agree on most of what you say, particularly about the boat. However I believe you underestimate a very important part of the story, for what I believe is the start in the chain of...

Very very sad news, but unfortunately those situations happen every year... Can anybody confirm this tragedy? This morning I saw 2 S&R boats leaving from Padang Bai.

Dear all, I'm doing a research on coral reefs. Now I have about 4-5 locations, with in total about 25 transects to survey. These transects will be fixed during my research. I'd like to mark the starting points of my transects with something like a small U/W buoy. However as there are many other...

Hi, I've been to Znz and Mafia as well! Although it has been a few years ago, I still can remember I enjoyed Mafia much more than Znz. I have only been to Stonetown, but obviously the other beaches and place in Znz are worth a visit. In Stonetown I can only remember 'average' diving with good...

(sorry for bumping) Hi, I basically have the same question as TS. Regarding Indonesia, I was looking for schools in Bali, in particular Blue Season and Crystal Diver. Is there anyone who can tell me some differences between the 2? I read somewhere that CD equipment is somewhat newer than BS...
