Hi there, I'll be going on a trip to Raja Ampat in Jan 2012, and will need a 1-night stopover in Manado on the way back. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, mid-range hotel? Ideally one with a pool, since I'll be there for almost 24 hours. Thanks in advance, Neil.

OK, So I've had a Buddy Ranger BC for years, and love it, but... It weighs in at over 5Kg. With most airlines doing away with extra allowances for divers, trying to keep the weight for a 2-week trip to under 20Kg is next to impossible. My Dive Bag weighs 17.5Kg before I've even packed any...

Has anyone flown with Etihad Airways? I wanted to know whether they give any extra baggage allowance to Divers, so I phoned to ask. After being put on hold for a couple of minutes, I was told that Scuba Gear has to go Freight !! I thought this was rather strange, so I phoned back a while...

Has anyone been on one of the Island Hopping trips that Sea Explorers advertise? I'm thinking of organising a group trip to the Philippines, and would like to go to two or three places, including Dumaguete (I worked as a Dive Guide on Apo Island for a month or so about 15 years ago, and would...

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU! to Steve, Jasmine, Shirley, and all the other staff at Deep Blue Resort. GLUG is a Gay & Lesbian Scuba club, based in the UK. It's often difficult to find resorts in the Carribbean which have great facilities and great diving, but where there is no...
