I'll be staying in Wailea Oct/14-Nov/7 and looking for someone(s) with to do shore diving. My favorites are Makena Landing (from sand or behind church), Red Hill (from black sand beach), Ulua (for ease alone I suppose), or Dry Rocks (think this is the proper name, just south of Polo Beach...

Sorry for another post on this subject... but I can't remember the recommendation for my specifics: I'm looking to dive the outer wall of Molokini (conditions allowing, of course!) as a two tank AM, and have the following preferences: - Op caters to location requests (conditions allowing of...

I will be in Maui during October and November, and for part of my trip I will be without any scuba friends. Please reply or PM me if you might want to meet up. Here is some background info on me and my diving preferences: - Very experienced with well over 500 dives (I owned a boat in Miami...

I'll be in Maui for about a month starting next week. Please post if you can provide current information on the following: - Can one dive the Mala Wharf/pier or as I have read weeks ago it may be closed for refurbishing? - (for freediving) Can one still hike across the lava path to Aquarium...

I'm looking to purchase a waterproof point and shoot camera to replace my Olympus770SW which now won't function (tells me the card door is open when it isn't - maybe someone knows a fix for this?). The camera will be used for shallow depth snorkeling in sunny conditions. Convenience and...

I recently stayed at the Hyatt in Gaafu atoll (Hyatt is the former Alila Resort). For hotel details one might visit tripadvisor, but I'll post dive info here. The resort requires quite a bit of travel - a MLE-KDM flight and a one hour boat ride - but puts one at the eastern part of the...

I've recently moved to Utah, and in a month I'm doing a dive trip to a remote part of Asia, and since I haven't done a dive in about 24 months I want to service my gear first. What's the recommendation for a SLC shop? Thx!

Well, no sooner than I had confirmed some plans (after hours and hours of research) for a Sipadan trip, I learn that Hyatt is opening it's first property on Maldives, and I have an opportunity to visit. Hyatt is taking over the Alila Villas, in Hadahaa / Gaafu Alifu Atol (I think in the far...

For my Sipadan trip later this year, I have some scheduling variables which are out of my control. I prefer to do the trip after some work events, but that would have me diving about the first week of November (give or take a week in either direction). The other option is to dive in late...

I know this is a long post, but this site offers such great advice I’m laying it all out :) And many of you have helped get me to this point, thanks for your posts and PMs! After hours of researching posts and info online (scubaboard, tripadvisor, lonelyplanet, google searches)...

I'm looking at doing a trip to Sipadan in October. I've managed to find various flight options which are straight through to KLU or HKG - allowing me to avoid any forced overnights mid-travel in Tawau or Kota Kinabulu. (I think one direction I can connect BKI, the other has a KLU/TWU nonstop)...

I'm hoping to learn from some of you that have visited and know the resorts and area. Some of you I've already spoken with in PM and email (and you've helped me narrow and reprioritize) and read your posts, so thanks for helping me get this far. I've also done a lot of research online and...

I'll be doing an Asia trip (from U.S.) which includes business in both Hong Kong and Japan. I'd like to schedule a 7-10 day vacation between (or at end) of these two destinations. I'm an experienced diver (500+ dives) but I'll be with my non-diving wife (thus no live aboards, and some...

Hi - I've read a number of posts, but I'm still left with some very specific questions, maybe some with recent trips can help answer: I'll be traveling with my non-diving wife, and she's wanting a white sand type beach experience. We both want over the water hotel experience, and a small...

I'll be in Kauai for a week, looking to do some shore diving. Where's the best shop (for price and ease) on the south side for tank rental and fills (I'm staying in Poipu)? Thanks!

Well, I was going to bump an old trip report or other thread, but they were all too old. I hope this is the right location (ANZ and Pac Isles) for discussing Guam? I'll appreciate any info you can provide. Situation: I have a free trip that must be taken in March, and must use a Hyatt...

I have never dove in Asia (outside of one week on Bali 15 years ago), so I'm looking for some help in picking a location. Here's some background and requirements/needs for the trip - I know it might get long, but I understand it's impossible to offer good advice if one doesn't know enough about...

Does anyone have any experience with Great Stirrup Cay? I'll have it as one of the ports-of-call on a cruise in January, and I'd love to do some diving or snorkelling. Typically, I'd never dive as part of an official excursion, and would only organize something on my own, ahead of time, with a...

I posted the following in the cruise section, but since so many members probably never check that thread and my post is only partially cruise-related, I thought I'd post my questions here, also... I am going on a NCL (Norweigian Dawn) cruise for non-diving reasons, but I want to get a dive...

I am going on a NCL (Norweigian Dawn) cruise for non-diving reasons, but I want to get a dive or two in while I'm traveling. I'm looking for recommendations on which places to dive, dive ops, and dive sites, given the following details. Ports of call are the following: Samana, DR St...
