Cool - thanks. That's realy reassurning. Have decided that we want to be Speyside anyway - is that where Aquamarine Divers/Blue Water Inn is located?

Hi all Just a quick question about weather conditions in Tobago in September - anyone been? My sis and I are both thinking about heading out there for a week or so from the UK. Have logged about 150 dives and want to get away from it all....a Caribbean island seems to fit the bill! Only...

AGREED!!! I stayed with Two Fish Divers on Bunaken (great because you're so close to all the sites) and also at Kungkungnan Bay Resort, which I couldn't fault at all! If you're into critter/small stuff, you couldn't do better than to dive in the Lembeh Strait. Make sure you do a night dive or...

Hey PJ I was there in May last year and viz was pretty good on most dives...having said that, viz is really one of those things that you can't really predict! As for the Kapalai/Mabul debate - I would go for Mabul hands down...isn't Kapalai the converted sea container/oil rig thing? I...

Yep - I completely agree. My sister and I dived around a lot of Bali and what we ended up doing was actually staying for a few days in each of the places that we wanted to dive. Not only do you get to avoid lengthy transfers in the car before and after diving, but you also get to experience...

Hi Susie I was diving in Sipidan around May time last year and it completely blew my mind. Of course, as you would expect, there were some pretty "average" dives too, but out of the 5 days that I stayed in Sipidan, I had about 4 completely blow me away dives when I came up just wanting more...

I had one of my most memorable dives on Tulamben....and I also thought that the wreck beat all of the other diving that I did in Bali hands down. I was a bit disappointed with Menjangan (Deer) Island...but maybe I was a bit spoilt since I had just come from Sipidan.... I went to Ahmed on the...

God - its all so depressing....I'm going anyway - check it out, help if I can and, most importantly, get some diving in...that's helping in its own way I suppose!

I take it that this thread doesn't mean anything to you either!! I think it must be a northern thing...!? ;)

Some of the rooms have a/c but its not needed at all - its absolutely fine without and, because of the position of the resort, you get a great sea breeze. Honestly, it was one of the nicest places that I stayed when I was away (and I dived around SE Asia for 3 months...). The food is also...

Thanks guys - you've all been really helpful and have made me think that, actually, cancelling would not be a good thing to do, both from the point of view of Thailand (and wanting to get things back to normal) and a personal point of view (I really don't want to cancel if I don't have to!)...

Andamans are completly wiped out by the Tsunami as well.... Fantastic islands and beautiful, pristine diving as well - I was there in March this year (assuming that you're not in 2005 already!)

Haven't got round to cold water diving yet! I keep promising myself I'll join a dive club....but then don't get round to doing it. Somehow a dry suit and cold water doesn't appeal quite as much as a bikini and blue skies!! Yeah, I think I'm at the stage where I have vaguely sorted a system...

I was in Lembeh and Bunaken end June this year. Both were incredible and you can easily combine the two over a week - I'd say 3 days in Bunaken and the rest in Lembeh, although I suppose it depends on the kind of diving that you like to do. Muck in Lembeh (but ohmygod...its more than just...

Not sure - the website says something about the Thai Government having closed the area to assess the damage....my trip is in mid-Jan, so alot sooner than yours in March, by which time I'm sure it'll be fine! Keep your eye on the thread - am hoping for some responses from people out there... A

Hi Bill Thanks - have now spent a bit more time on the site and am kind of working it out...! Where abouts on Long Island are you? I lived in Port Washington for a couple of years...! Been in the UK for as long as I can remember now though...! A

Its probably a bit soon (although I've read some posts from people saying that its "back to normal" in most bits of Thailand) but I wondered whether anyone has been sub-aqua since the tsunami hit? I've booked a liveaboard on the Panunee to go to the Similans in Jan. Apparently the boat is ok...

Hi All Am new to the forum (although I've now been browsing for the last few days). Just wanted to say hi and to ask whether there's anywhere I can go to for tips on how to navigate round the site...I can't seem to go back to a thread that I was looking at without using the "Back" button on...

Hey ssra You seem like a big fan of the Panunee - have you been recently? I have just booked flights to Thailand (in between jobs) and was going to go to the Similans on the Panunee - are you still as enthusiastic about it as you were before?

So how was it then? I've just booked a flight to Thailand in mid-Jan and am going up to the Similans on the Panunee....
