Heya, I am looking for some experiences/recommendations on excellent destinations in the Hurghada vicinity. We are a family of 3. Mom and dad who has 150+ dives each, and then our 10 year old daughter who got certified as Junior Open Water this summer. Essentially this trip is to cater...

Thank you all the recommendations and the discussion on the suitability for scuba at a young age. And I agree with the sentiment that it is very individual when a kid (or adult) are ready to learn to scuba. Our impression is that she is ready to be introduced to scuba at this age. But we will...

@Jehle Cheers. Grand Cayman has also been a bit on the radar, though whether it is interesting enough topside I am unsure of...but could just go somewhere else for topside for half the trip in that case. Greece is actually also an interesting option. Not sure I would go in July there...

Heya, My daughter is 10year old and are very interested in getting her Junior Open Water Certificate. The plan is to do it this summer on a vacation trip. But what are the most suitabale locations for a kid to both get Junior Open Water Certification, but also with the most interesting dives...

Heya, I am hoping you can help me with advice experiences, on where to go next in Egypt. I am planning a trip to Egypt late February together with my wife (who also dives), our 8 months old baby, and my parents (who are not divers). Currently we are not able to be away more than roughly 1...

Thanks for all the replies so far. It seems Phi Phi is out of the question. I am looking more into both Koh Lanta, Krabi (Ao Nang) and Khao Lak. Going to Hin Daeng/Muang is fairly high on my wish list, and it seems that from Koh Lanta that is reachable by speed boat in 1 hour, which is nice...

Hello beautiful people. I hope that some of you can help me out with some advice. I am planning a trip to the andaman sea area in February 2014. He expect to have somewhere between 10-14 nights in Thailand. We will most likely be 5 people for the trip. Me and my wife (who are AOW with around...

Just got back from Malapascua 2 weeks ago. Stayed with Exotic, where our experiences were top notch. Due to the amount of boats there were lots of choices for day trips, many dive guides (at most we were 3 divers per guide), and they were quite flexible (had originally paid a 15 dive package...

@big fish63 Both bumpheads and the school of jacks are resident at the wreck. The bumpheads are mostly there early mornings, and typically swim away during the day....probably due to the wreck being camped :) On both our night dives at the wreck they were there. The school of jack is always...

@divewench1 The temperatures were quite cold at Manta Point. If I recall correctly it was around 21 degrees celsius both times, aka freezing compared to the rest of Bali.

@wetsuit Yes, the manta footage is from Nusa Penida, specifically the dive site called Manta Point. Typically you dive there as the first dive going to Nusa Penida (The surge can be quite large later in the day). In Blue Season Bali they changed with every second day starting at Manta Point...

They are based in Sanur but also have a resort in PJ (Puri Jari). They arrange daily trips, but we stayed for a few days in Tulamben. I think normally the guide will then meet up with you with equipments from their daytrips, but we had our equipment (and guide !) stay over in Tulamben, since we...

Thank you for the kind words. Bali is definitely a very nice (and diverse) diving location. Both the wife and I kinda fell in love with Bali....sadly it is 20 hours flight away from Denmark :( Most of the Manta scenes are actually the same take....a wonderful continuous clip of roughly 2 min...

My wife and I had a splendid vacation in July 2011 at Bali. We dove at Tulamben, Nusa Penida, PJ and Menjangan. All diving was arranged by and done with BlueSeasonBali. I can fully recommend them. Anyway, I finally got around to editing our underwater footage, and some photos. I want to share...

Hey, I just wanted to share my uw video from last summers vacation in Bali. Sadly it took 6 months to get the time to edit the video. It also marks my very first attempt at editing videos, so any comments/tips/tricks are very welcome. Enjoy! coVp1dhhxIE Everything is shot with a Sea&Sea...

Did 2 days of whale shark swimming out from Isla last week (will write a full trip report when time permits). It seemed the whale sharks were quite close to Holbox (compared to more north east to cancun). We had no more than about 30-45 min boat trip for them on the second day (longer on the...

thank you for your continued updates. They are very much appreciated! Since we are flying into yucatan this coming tuesday we would heavily prefer for "Alex" to move away before then :) As far as I have seen on various storm watch models, it seems that it should be have passed yucatan by...

Thanks for your reply DandyDon. You are rigth that Tulum is not a full daytrip. We might spend a little time on the beach, and/or go to something else nearby. It is probably before we rent a car, so we will most likely catch a bus or something like that, so we dont have complete freedom of...

So with only 3 weeks left until our trip to yucatan the plans are finally coming together. As it looks now this is what we will do: We stay in Playa for the first 10 days, in which we will do: 3x2 PDC dives 1x2 Cozumel dives 1x2 Cenote dives 1x2 Puerto Morelos dives A day trip to...

@Ed Hatfield Thanks for the dive info, and also we might swing by and say hi to our fellow dane :) @ecodiving tours That is indeed the wreck...somehow got isla mujeres and Puerto Morelos mixed up in my original post. Great vid btw. How resident are the school of eagle rays on C-56? I...
