We've been going to Roatan for many years and also have staid at AKR more than once. It has become one of our favorite places to stay. This isn't so much a trip review, but about our experience with Hurricane Earl. The forecast was a little iffy - so AKR didn't want to take a chance with our...

I've seen 2 negative reports about Turquoise Bay after doing a search on this forum. Has anyone been there recently that had a good time there, enjoyed the food, the diving, the staff ect ? TB is running some sweet sounding specials. Wow- airfares to Roatan $$$$$ !!! Wow I looked...

Has anyone painted the top of their fins white to use for white balancing ? If successful what type of paint have you used. So far I have tried a spray paint that said it was good for plastic, rubber, outdoor furniture. That didn't work too good. After 2 dives it began to chip. I...

We've just returned from spending Christmas week on the Turks & Caicos Explorer II. We had a very good time ! No problems at all flying there or home (for a change). The diving was good. We visited North Point, West Caicos and French Cay. As far as the fish life - I think it must have...

My video rig is quite heavy and cumbersome out of the water. I have an Ikelite housing, two batteries and two lights. Often, especially on live aboards, during a surface interval, I like to snorkel around and film or all of a sudden there’s a pod of dolphins or whale sharks and it’s...

Anyone been aboard the "Fiesta". Been searching all over the net and no luck ! Comments from anyone whose done this boat will be appreciated. NAIBDiver1

We were very surprised by the large numbers and variety of fish in the La Paz area. So many different fish and the colours were great ! The hammerhead and whale shark dives were alot of work (hard swimming into current), but well worth the effort. (Helps to be pretty physically fit !). Water...
