Hi, staying in Padang Bai this July for 10-days, diving with Absolute Scuba. I'm looking for a relaxed diving schedule to include Tulamben. Has anyone dived with Absolute Divers? Best dive sites? Any advice would be welcomed! Thanks! Fin Bob

delacrue96, sorry but I do not have military access. However, I will check out the suggested web pages, thanks! Finbob

Hi everyone. I am hoping to dive in Okinawa 28 Oct-6 Nov. Any advice? I'm an older guy so need help in/out of boat. Will a 3mm suit be too cold? Names of good dive shops/resorts? Decent western hotels near dive shop? (3+*) Good dive spots? Deeply appreciated, thanks!!

Outside of Richelieu Rock, which was raining fish and one of my favorite global dive sites, I found the Simlian Islands disappointing. Can't speak to the rest of Thailand.

Helarno & Luko Thank you so very much for your thoughts and insights, I will certainly act upon them. It's wonderful to have this forum where we can help & encourage one another. Thank you again! Finbob

Luko, thank you - I understand. Where else would you dive in Bali for the remainder 5 Nights? Bob

Helarno, thank you for your response, advice and calming concerns. I am in the process of planning a 10-day trip this October. Certainly 4- Nights at Tulamben. I would dive the Liberty Wreck at sunrise and at night. I love night dives. I assume they would carry the tank into the sea where I can...

Hi, wanted your opinion as I heard a few negatives concerning dive operations in Bali. First, many are located away from the ocean so getting to dive sites is overland and one needs to navigate slopes etc. Second, carrying the tank and equipment some use women, even children - true? Third...

Gentlemen, I've decided to go to Puerto Galera instead this time around. However, I would ask what is the best place in Palawan for diving if wrecks are removed from the equation?

Early March, hoping to spend 10 days diving in Palawan. Any suggestions? Diving sites, operators and hotels (aircon essential). Any information gratefully received. Thanks!

Thank you so very much! I'll inform my daughter. :)

Hi, my daughter is planning to do her AOW course in Malapascua. She has booked Hippocampus Resort to stay and was wondering if she should either take her PADI AOW with Devonocean Divers (PADI) OR French Kiss Divers (SSI)...

Thanks!!!

Hi, any advice on a dive operator in Mactan? May I also ask, where are the best dive locations in Mactan?

Bill, I'm early 60's so can relate. The diving in Malapascua is excellent, not just for threshers but for macro as well. From memory, the depth for the threshers is around 60' & the current is fine. Getting on & off the banca is okay, with helping hands - usually you walk on a narrow 45 degree...

Bohol is one of my favourite dive areas within the Philippines, I usually dive with "Fun Divers" (Alona beach). The airport and infrastructure are well underway, I was there in March, 2014. Yes, it will soon be like Boracay, noisy, busy, pity! Do keep us informed about Anda! By the way...

Thank you!

Due to medical issues (weak calves), I switched from ScubaPro (Seawing) to Force Fins. No regrets. In fact, I can honestly say I do love my Force Fins. They are easy to put on/off, easier to manoeuvre in a boat and most importantly for me, far less stress on my calves when diving. :D I am not...

Hi everyone, I would appreciate some advice... I'm in Sydney 16-18 November (3-dive days). Based on my negotiation skills with my wife, I would like to do 3-morning dives. I am very keen to see (priority order): 1. Seals 2. Nurse Sharks 3. Wreck Is this possible? Any suggestions...

Dengue is the issue, you can take malaria pills (Eg. Malarone) as I always do, but dengue is a viral infection spread by Aedes mosquito, it is nicknamed 'break bone fever.' Don't take it lightly, I was infected (Dengue-1, there are 4-types) in 2010 (Sipadan) - spent 3 days shivering in a Beijing...
