That's a great list - thanks. Cheers, Drew

Hey, Trip was great. Saw five or six whalesharks the first three days there, then nothing the rest of the week. For anyone who is interested, the restaurant at Mango Inn is good, but everybody who responded here was right - there are so many good affordable options to eat on Utila, next time...

That makes sense. I just looked it up, and based on what I'm seeing here and other places, it looks like that bus trip will probably be 6-8 hours. Unfortunately we're only going to be in the country for a little over a week, so if we don't want to lose almost two full days in transit, it looks...

Hi, For our trip we're planning on flying into Cairo, going straight to Sharm for 5 days of diving, then back to Cairo to do Giza and the tourist stuff for 2-3 dry days before flying home. That means ideally we don't want to fly between Cairo and Sharm. Can anybody suggest the best way...

We're about to book a trip to Sharm for a week in January (where we're staying is non-negotiable - the wife got a significant gift card as a 'thank you for killing yourself for six months' bonus from work, and we have to use it). It looks like the Marriott has it's own dive op, but does...

Thanks - Rainbow Village looks perfect. I just emailed in a reservation request. Cheers, Drew

Hey Jennifer, I'll look forward to seeing you there. Cheers, Drew

Hi All, I waited too late to book my flight, so it looks like now I'm going to be taking a 6am flight home from La Ceiba instead of Roatan like I'd hoped, which means I'm going to have to take the late ferry across to La Ceiba and stay over night. Can anybody suggest a decent hotel close...

Thanks, reefdiver1: I will be in Utila from the 23rd until the 31st or 1st, so I may see you there. moody mermaid: thanks for the input. Just for the simplicity my first trip there I did end up going the AI route. I figure next trip when I've got a better feel for the island I may go a la...

Thanks, I'll definitely look Vernon up. That sounds interesting. I'd been told that the water was too rough for a direct Roatan / Utila trip. In terms of the animals, I should have been more specific - I've seen wild Dolphins in open water before in Hawaii, Costa Rica (watching them vault...

Finally after three years of talking about it, I'm going to make it to Honduras from Aug 23 - Sept 6 for Whale Shark season. Thanks to everybody who posts on this board - researching the threads here were a huge help, and after spending a bunch of time here and on TripAdvisor, I think I'm...

@Ringo: What you're saying actually makes a lot of sense. Our group was only 10-12 people, so it wasn't big enough to charter full day boats. We were given the impression that the boats were selected through the agent (you guys), but it sounds like the kind of call that the owner of the dive...

@Quero: Overall we had an amazing time. I'm really glad we went, but my wife only started to dive two years ago, so I wish we'd been able to get her expectations set a little better about the conditions before we got there. She coped really well, but the first day or two caused her a little...

We just got back from a two week trip to Thailand and had an amazing time. The diving is great, but it can be challenging. The water was around 84 degrees the whole time we were there, but the currents can rip, the viz isn’t great on some of the day dive sites and it’s mostly...

Two more weeks until we're off to Phuket. Most of the trip is already spoken for with a 5 day liveaboard to the Similan Islands, two three tank trips to Racha Noi and Shark Point / Koh Doc Mai, and an overnight safari, but we've got a couple of days to poke around Phuket, one of which we're...

That's exactly what I did and they ended up shipping me back a brand new Nemo Excel. My Mares kit doesn't break down often, but when it does, support has always taken good care of me.

My wife picked up the Mosquito before our last trip and she likes it a lot.

Thanks Zak, That's exactly what I'll do.

I've had a Mares Nemo computer for around three years now and used it on more than 150 dives in a variety of conditions and it's always been great. On my last trip I found something I've never seen before. After the dive the computer started to show that I was on a dive to 492 feet when I...

I just spent the week of December 28 - Jan 4 in Jamaica staying at Sandals Montego Bay. First, the good. The resort is reasonably nice and typical of most of the all inclusives we've stayed at. The beach was good, the pools were OK, and the food was decent. The best part is that the diving...
