Has anyone dived with Dolphin Diving School in Qeshm Island? Any other dive operation recommended in Qeshm Island? I've heard there was (July 2008) a dive shop inside Golden Beach Resort... BTW, I've already read what Xerxes1358 wrote about "Divers Down"

Greg, I have, see here

Anna, welcome to Scuba Board! When I visited in May 2007, I didn't find any dive centers in the cities of Agadir, Casablanca and Tangier, only found one in Marina Smir, near the city of Tetouan. You can go from Tangier to Tetouan by bus (one hour), and then take a collective taxi to Marina...

Scubagal, great photos! We look forward to reading your detailed trip report and seeing more pictures of whale sharks.

Oi Thevalkyry: I dived Arvoredo from the town of Bombinhas in April and was a bit disappointed with both the marine life and the 3-m visibility, which the dive crew said was the average there. I took a few underwater photos in Arvoredo: Bombinhas underwater The following were my notes...

It would be much easier through Europe. AFAIK, there are only four ways of flying directly from Africa to South America, none of them from Northern Africa, neither to Ecuador: South African Airways daily from Jo'burg to Sao Paulo Malaysian Airlines twice/week from Jo'burg to Buenos Aires TAAG...

Mozambique - as others said, Tofo (across Inhambane) is the place to dive for whale sharks and mantas. Here are a few photos I took there: Tofo underwater. I wouldn't dive with anyone other than Tofo Scuba. Malawi - night dives are easy and cheap in Nkhata Bay, where I dived with Aqua Africa...

I did a few dives in Sao Tome in March 2007 with "Escola de Mergulho Nautinforme", in Ilheu das Rolas Resort. It's about two hours on a private bus from town across the island. Beware of their safety practices, rental gear was in bad shape, there was no O2 kit on the boat, the boat didn't have...

Fireguy, East Timor has at least two dive outfits for tourists, Liberia has none. And the Liberian beaches are used as public toilets and trash basket.

Cynthia and Jim, I was there in April 2007 and didn't see any diving at all. I think that your only chance would be if you hooked up with someone working as a commercial diver for one of the offshore oil companies.

I was there in late 2005, there was no diving at all, as the water is too murky with so many rivers coming from the region. If you want to go diving from Georgetown, I suggest that you check if BWIA and LIAT (airlines) still sell their airpass to the Caribbean. I bought it in Georgetown, it was...

I have a Gekko, bought in Singapore, it’s almost 4 years old (262 dives, 197 hours), never had any problem and it’s still running with the original factory installed battery. I’ve been carrying a spare battery with me wherever I go diving since March 2006...

Thanks SA-Diver and AndyT.

Has anyone gone diving in Namibia? How is the diving in Walvis Bay? Are there any other places in Namibia that you consider worth diving? Name/web address of dive centers, dive sites and any details would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Maher, please keep us posted on how your diving program is going. I should be visiting Ghana in April for a few days.

Katrina: Fernando de Noronha has world class diving, whereas places within 3 hours by bus from Rio are just average for the Atlantic Ocean. Dive operatos in Noronha: http://www.atlantisnoronha.com.br/english/default.asp, http://www.aguasclaras-fn.com.br/en_index_corpo.htm and...

Flying gurnard = Dactylopterus volitans

DrBill is right. The following is what I wrote for another forum regarding the area you are interested in: I’ve listed below (from North to South) the best places where you could dive in Brazil with links to local dive shops. Dive sites have been (subjectively) rated from 1 (best) to 6...

Has anyone done any diving in the Guianas? French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana...in South America.
