MV South Siam III seems to be a moored boat that you take a speed boat out to. You can choose to stay on board and dive 1,2,3... days apparently the speed boat transfer comes out twice a day from the main land? They say they dive Similan, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai & Richelieu Rock, so how does it...

Planning a trip to Thailand for 30 days, with 3 weeks of land based touring and the last week diving, possibly a liveaboard 4 days and land based diving the rest. We travel extremely light, so dragging dive equipment around for 3 weeks just to use it the last week isn't an option. Is it possible...

Love to hear about your most memorable Thailand dive(s) what did you see, what made it memorable for you?

Hin Daeng and Hin Muang dive sites Leaving a live-a-board out of the equation, where do you recommend I base myself to dive these dive sites in Thailand, can someone relate their experiences and what to, how they are dived, how many times and if it's worth it? Thanks!

Been diving for over 20 years all over the world, skilled and experienced enough to tackle most any recreation diving scenarios, but have never done a liveaboard. Due to extensive traveling (non diving) we've been neglecting our diving this year with the exception of a 10 day trip to Cozumel in...

The Cozumel Pearl Farm | The Yucatán For 91 Days I know a bit about pearl farms, have been to two in the south pacific, it's mostly about the type of oyster and a whole lot about the water quality. Had no idea somebody was growing pearls in Cozumel.

Thought this was interesting : Cozumel - Hotel WiFi Test Only a handful of places seem to have been tested. Next time I'm there just for fun I will test and add wherever I'm staying.

Yeah? 3mm full suit ought to do it for diving right now? Got a 3mm shorty too, but figure 3mm full to be safe? What do you say?

Have a Sunday 4:00pm flight out of Cancun, how much time to allow leaving Cozumel on the ferry and taking the ADO bus back to Cancun?

Going to Costa Rica next week for a month, won't be doing any diving but might do some snorkeling if it's worth it. So is it worth it? If so where? Will be in Puerto Viejo, Manuel Antonio, Santa Teresa and Tamarindo, anybody recommend any snorkeling in these areas or nearby if so where...

What's you opinion on what location in the world is the most likely place you would run into wild dolphins while scuba diving, as close to guaranteed as possible?

What are the conditions we should expect in late May in Palau? Leaning toward a land based experienced, but worried about the weather effecting the diving.

Been awhile since I've been to the land of Coz, working on changing that. What's the weather like in April typically? Any worries of losing dive days due to wind or storms?

Hi Dave, I think I saw an obscure reference to you and your shop in Island magazine this month. There was a page about Cozumel and a sentence referring to dives sites being opened up to the north of the island. I took that to be referring to you, or are there other shops exploring the north now...

Do you guys advise people to buy the additional CDW insurance for a rental car if it's offered? I'm renting a rental car in Mexico in a few weeks for about $3.00 a day. Total rental for 4 days is $12.00 before extra insurances. CDW is an extra $22 a day or a 400% increase in my rental rate...

I've been to Rangiroa, considering going to Fakarava now. For those who know, what are the similarities and what are the differences. Stayed at the Kia Ora in Rangiroa dived with 7 passengers. We would be looking at 7-8 days of diving.

Put together a short video of the shark feeding dive we did. We were staying at Nanuku resort in Pacific Harbour, we drove over to Beqa Adventure Divers about 5 minutes from Nanuku, to see about scheduling some diving. They were booked too far out for us and almost all of their dives were the...

Non diving related, but just wanted to say this is a great time to travel to Fiji, the US dollar is really strong, you'll enjoy basically a 50% discount on everything you purchase due to the buying power of the US dollar, just watch out for credit card fees, some places like to tack on a 3-4%...

I always manually color balance with a 'grey' card when shooting video with available light before each individual video segment. I typically get a better color balance when using a white card instead of a grey card, but sometimes in a situation with too much ambient light the camera won't...
