Thank you all - will email Evolution to see what they say. Very excited!

We are planning our trip end of July / beginning of August for 1 week to 10 days to Philippines. While we are pretty experienced (around 300 dives) we have mostly dived in Caribbean so diving in Philippines would be pretty amazing wherever we go. After reading through several threads here we...

Thank you for your feedback! I will talk to Coral View and find out whether they will pick us up. Can't wait for April!

Hi all, I was in Utila 3 years ago and dove with Alton's. While it was generally good, there were a couple of things I wasn't happy with so want to see if anyone had better experience elsewhere: 1. bottom time: I was told I can dive my air but that wasn't the case since they need to be back...

Thank you for the response. Other than the Daymaniyat islands where would you recommend diving? We are planning around 2 weeks though not sure if it will be all diving.

Hi all, We know someone in Oman so have been thinking about making a trip out there. Question is - is there enough diving for say a week or more? Our likely dates are late July. We have dived mostly Caribbean but have been to Red Sea, Maldives and Galapagos. Thanks.

We recently came back from two weeks in Galapagos. Our trip was as follows: Naturist cruise (no diving) from Isabella (we were catching up with the boat that had left Santa Cruz) - flying into Santa Cruz and catching the ferry to Isabella. This cruise finished in Baltra island and we stayed in...

Thank you for all your feedback. I didn't realize Zeagle has weight pouch! I am leaning towards Express Tech. Hollis Ride Wing is still available from LeisurePro but only 23lbs.

Hello, It's time for a 2nd BCD - I'm a recreational diver and at times I will wear up to 7mm but not dry suit (though that might happen at some point). Currently I have Zeagle Lazer and what I realized from various diving trips is that it is easier to unbuckle weight belt and hand it to the...

Welcome to the island! All three mentioned - Dive Bermuda, Triangle and Blue Water and also Tucker's - are good and offer yearly membership. You'll find the cost of them on their websites. Blue Water had a change of management a couple of years ago for the better I've been told. The dive shops...

Yes - not enough birds were around unfortunately. What Andres said was that there are more sailfish in Jan but less birds, and vice versa in Feb.

I think what they did was to first try for whale shark and the manta rays (which hang out closer to Isla) just so that the people get some sort of an experience before trying out for the sail fish. We did go out to where the fishing boats were, after the whale sharks. We had some kids on the...

Wanted to share our recent experience in Isla Mujeres. we decided to go and try our luck with sailfish snorkeling the 2nd week of Jan. We organised it through Squalo Divers. Unfortunately the weather was not good half of the week so we only got to go out once. Squalo didn't have enough people...

All the dive shops are pretty good (I've dived with Dive Bermuda, Triangle and Tuckers. I also heard good things about Blue Water.) and will let you leave your gear with them (ask when booking though). They will not necessarily do the "valet" service - unless you ask them they will expect you to...

No restroom for change in Church bay. In fact the facilities at the Church Bay is pretty much non existent. Sometimes there is someone to rent out gear but to be sure you should take snorkeling kit with you. I should think the Bermudian cab drivers should be used to the sand by now! Credit...

no box jellyfish. maybe some moon jellyfish but they arent bad. it will be hot so if you want protection i would recommend skin rather than wetsuit. dive Bermuda offers refresher if you're feeling a bit rust.

I've just managed to book a trip next year in August which is very exciting. It will be our first time in Galapagos so we are wondering whether to add on a topside trip either before or after the liveaboard trip either land based or one of the cruises. Any thoughts / recommendations? I'm not...

Snorkeling-there is the Snorkel Park at the Dockyard. they have a restaurant and rental gear. closer to fairmont Southampton there is Church Bay which is reputed to be one of the best snorkel spots. if you go all the way to st George's there is the Tobacco Bay. kid friendly and there are...

I have a small Zeagle Lazer. It is for women and VERY small though (prob too small for me!). Let me know if it's of interest.

Restaurant wise - check out Tempest in St. George. Recently opened by the same people who run Mad Hatters in Hamilton. Very nice space and good food. Pretty casual. Black Horse Tavern in St. Davids is supposed to have one of the best fish sandwich... So is Art Mels and they have a branch in St...
