I just got off the Emperor Voyager in the Maldives (11/4 - 11/11). We did the Central Atolls route. This was only my third liveaboard, having previously done the Fury Shoals route in Egypt and the Southern Maldives route out of Gan. First time diving with Emperor. I'm AN/DP certified with a bit...

I’m doing a Central Atolls liveaboard Nov 4-11 ex-Male, but have an extra five days afterwards. Any suggestions on where to stay those five days? I’m traveling solo and would like to try a local island for some additional diving and R+R.

It seems like the liveaboard industry is still stuck in 1970s travel planning mode with agencies dominating the marketplace (and presumably taking their cut). Is there any real advantage to using an agency live liveaboard.com or divebooker or PADI travel vs booking with the company directly...

I’m an expat based in Mumbai. Most diving in India seems to revolve around really unprepared people doing DSDs. Anyone know if there’s a tec shop somewhere or if anyone puts together exploration dives in new or off-the-beaten path places? There are thousands of miles of coastline here, but...

I upgraded and no longer use this. Includes Ikelite housing (6116.11) for a Sony RX100 II, Ikelite WD-3 wide angle dome, and an Ikelite Action Tray II. Camera not included. Has been reliable and built like a tank. A great kit to move into u/w photography. $350 includes shipping to lower 48.

Pair of barely used Oceanic Accel fins, size regular. Only used a handful of times. I just didn’t find them that comfortable, but many people rave about them. They are definitely lightweight and great for travel. $65 includes shipping to lower 48.

Ever since taking AN/DP and getting into photography, my diving speed/movement has gone way down. While it’s improved my SAC, I’m getting cold for the first time, even in warmer conditions. Cold at a deco stop sucks! I’ve tried open cell, semi-dry, sharkskin underneath, and just can’t stay warm...

I’m looking for a new wetsuit for temps in the mid 60s, 100-120ft range,with light deco. Recently did a bunch of similar dives in 72 degree water in my soft 5mm and got cold. Any experience with the Hollis Neotek at depth? Supposed to be compression resistant-ish. Other suggestions?

anyone have suggestions for land-based u/w photo workshops or classes. I don’t want to do a full photo-focused liveaboard, but would love a 2-3 day class with someone looking at my photos and providing guidance on getting better.

The operator of an upcoming liveaboard trip in Egypt claims to have "15 liter aluminum" cylinders available. I asked to double check they aren't actually steel and they sent me the below pic and description. The manufacturer's website only lists their AL80s and smaller. I strongly suspect this...

I recently flooded an ikelite housing for a Sony RX100 M2. The camera is done. I was never super in love with the housing (bought used--it's awfully bulky). But, I really like the pics I could get from the camera shooting in full manual (some...

Last couple of years I’ve been lucky to dive primarily in the 26c-28c temp range and have been happy with my pinnacle cruiser 3mm. Recently, I did a week in the 20c-22c range and ended up renting a 5mm wetsuit and wearing a sharkskin hooded vest (that I thought was going to be sufficient with...

I recently dived with AL80s sidemount—usually I use steels. Was pretty straightforward switching the cylinder snap lower on the waist band as they got floaty, but my legs started to come up a bit towards the end. Someone I was with suggested adding a 1kg weight on each cylinder. I’ve read a lot...
