Thank you so much for all your replies - much appreciated!! We're stopping at Nassau, Bahamas but not there for long so arranging some tour with the cruise ship. St Thomas is the next port of call - have heard its very beautiful and been recommended a fantastic local tour guide called Sunny...

Hi Guys I'm off on a cruise with my non-diving boyfriend and eager to get him "wet" and hopefully hooked!! As its a cruise, we're only there from 8am-6pm and would like to do a little tour to have a look around but still obviously want to get a try-dive in. We dock into Great Bay near...

Thank you very much to all of you for such a warm welcome! TwoBitTxn - oh dear - I'm blushing that you remember all of that!! Belushi's (aka. Duncans) proposal was all for show, as is everything he does. Last I heard he was back teaching diving and guiding in Dahab, Egypt. Its probably best he...

Hi All Its been a while since posting so apologises for any "rustiness" ! My boyfriend and I have just booked the most amazing holiday next year and I'm hoping to get him into diving. We went to Mexico at the beginning of this year and thought a nice easy intro. into the world of...

It has been a very very long time since I have been on ScubaBoard so thought it best to re-introduce myself, as not only has my life changed drastically, but so have I! My name is Abby. I'm now no longer the "ScubaBaby" that I was when I joined ScubaBoard and am now a mere 25 years of age...

Has anyone had any experience of Taba? I've been to Hughada and Sharm but never been as far north as Taba. I'm flying into Taba International Airport at the end of August and wanted to know what the airport is like? I'm staying in Taba rather than Taba Heights but I've been told its not...

Angela I have dived in the Red Sea a few times - Hurghada once and Sharm landbased and liveaboard. I also went to Cuba for New Year. Out of all of them, despite huge amounts of sea sickness and tablets, my favourite was Sharm liveaboard. We got a great bunch of people - the boat was...

Belushi and I were planning on visiting the Maldives, scheduled for fly on Boxing Day 2004 - obviously that was cancelled. Instead we went to a Sandals resort in Cuba for New Year. Couldn't fault the resort really but the weather was winding and Sandals limit the amount of diving you can do "all...

I know they are based in the UK but I'm sure they'd ship to the States if requested. They go to all our dive shows in England and I'm a huge fan. My waredrobe is full of t-shirts they have designed - they will even make designs you request. The company is called The Cartoonery. Its run by...

I use to live on the door step of LIDS - moved to Devon last week....talk about bad timing!!!

I dived with Mark back in 2002 I think....god was it really that long ago!!! Anyway - Marks cool......highly reccommend Mark if you do want to holiday and/or work in Gozo.

Clive Thank you for you report on what you went though. As with anything, e.g. reading a book, watching a film, people perceive and judge in different ways, which is what I believe has happened regarding your report. Although I am sure offence was taken to some peoples comments (most...

I know its not the same location as you've asked for - however it was affected so maybe of relevance. Belushi & I were booked to leave for the Maldives (Holiday Island), on Boxing Day (26/12/04). We were flying with an airline I use to work for and when we heard of the tragedy we were still...

Welcome to Scubaboard! Check out the UK Wreck Ferrets section - you may find a few more people who live closer to home!

gozumutti Beliushi & I went on a liveaboard from Sharm, down to the Brothers etc, and have footage of the whale shark we swam with - it hung around for a good hour! This was only last month! So, they do exist in the Red Sea - as do Oceanic White tips, hammerheads, thresher sharks and god...

Your photos are fantastic!!

Zippy - who do you want her to train with?? Depending on whether you want her trained as a NAUI Open Water or your not bothered would change who to reccommend.

I've always struggled with wetsuits - I'm reasonably slim, fairly wide shoulders, long legs and big boobs. Even when I got made to measure it wasnt quite right. I then decided I wanted to be a "Mares" lady as most of my gear was Mares - so I brought a Mares semi dry. Useless! I went out...
