    Caribbean Explorer II to Saba/St. Kitts

    My girlfriend and I went in November 2011, right after Thanksgiving. The trip was our first liveaboard, and was amazing! We had a great time with all of the guests, and the crew was outstanding. I would highly recommend Explorer Ventures and the Saba/St.Kitts crew. We had some amazing diving...

    Wow, awesome video! Reminds me of my trip to Palau in 2012, so amazing! Stayed at the same hotel, too. Really nice work!

    Galapagos - Aggressor or Explorer Itinerary?

    Thanks everyone for the input. We were unable to secure the Aggressor boat, as there was a big rush due to one of the liveaboards shutting down. We are on the Humboldt Explorer, however, and really looking forward to our trip. I hope to get a ton of awesome hammerhead photos!

    Galapagos Exlporer Land Excursion Question

    I have booked a trip on the Galapagos Explorer, and am wondering if the land tours they do are comprehensive enough to skip doing an extra extension after leaving the liveaboard. Would our time be better spent in mainland Ecuador? Does anyone have any experience with this, or suggestions? Thanks.

    First GoPro Videos - Hawaii

    I agree, the Hero 3 Black has awesome low-light abilities, far better than my HD2. Loved the first song for the Manta dive...nice. That person in front of you looks like they're hyperventilating though! So many bubbles!

    Thank you for the tips diversteve! I had started to try the clone tool, but knowing how long that would take I decided to ask here first! LarryC, that looks pretty darn good! Care to reveal your secrets?

    Can I fix this pic?

    Took this in Cozumel last week, this little turtle was catching his breath while we were on our safety stop, and then dropped back down to the reef right past me! I wasn't ready and didn't have a chance to do anything but snap away, and got this pic. I think the blurry spots are from...

    Ascent Rates (How to..?)

    This thread has great tips, I have struggled with keeping my ascents slow enough. Not sure why most divers I see on a safety stop, as well as on ascent are vertical, but I guess I need to stop following them! Fortunately I leave for Cozumel tomorrow, so I can practice ascents in a horizontal...

    Palau/Truk and Yap or Kosrae?

    I spent 4 days in Yap last October, and had a wonderful time. Stayed at the Yap Pacific Dive Resort, previously called Trader's Ridge. Dove with them 5 dives over 2 days. We actually didn't see that many mantas, as we were always late getting out due to the children of the other couple diving...

    Nitrox For New Divers

    You can probably take a nitrox class while on the liveaboard, that's what I would suggest. I did that on my first liveaboard and am very glad I did! I dove Nitrox the whole week with close supervision from the instructor, and it was nice to learn how to set up the computer, etc. all week while...

    Airline tickets so expensive!

    Just bought tickets for March 20-26 for $450 from DC...but to Cancun and not Coz. Flying straight to Coz from DC is way more expensive.

    Memorable Critter Encounters

    My most amazing encounter was with mantas at German Channel in Palau. We dropped down to wait for them at the cleaning station, but instead they were feeding in the current. Two DMs signalled for everyone in the group (13 of us) to head up and swim with them. I took off into the current, finning...
