So sad to see. I dove with Extended Horizons a few years ago and their passion for diving and conservation really stuck with me all these years. I really looked forward to diving with them again sometime but their shop and ship are a total loss, I hope they're able to recover. There is a...

We are on AC right now, just finished up day two of diving and are heading out tomorrow on the BA3. This is my first time diving in the Caribbean and I logged dive #40 today, having said that I've been pretty happy with all my dives here despite the seasoned vets telling us that the vis and...

Hello all, *Edit* I probably should have posted this as a follow-up post in my pre/post liveaboard thread, but too late.. I'm looking for some advice on where to go prior to my BA3 trip this month. My wife and I have four days before the BA3 departs and we're looking to do some refresher dives...

I figured having to deal with a sole insurance company rather than multiple would have been better. I've only had a handful of insurance claims, but dealing with multiple insurance companies to try to get reimbursed sounds like a nightmare in an already bad bad sisituation.

Thanks Joelage, we went with Dive Assure for dive accident insurance, the coverage seemed adequate and it's primary insurance, whereas DAN is secondary. We have trip insurance through my Visa and due to the flight schedule and boat departure, there is minimal risk of missing the boat, so I...

Hello all, It's been a few years since this thread was last active and rather than starting a new thread,I thought maybe I should just follow-up using this one. My wife and I are heading to Belize in January and I'd like to get dive accident insurance. I have trip coverage through my visa...

Thanks for the suggestions Damselfish and Downing. Funny that you mentioned a map, shortly after the OP I went to get a map of Belize as I do with all my other trips (I find the water resistant National Geographic maps are handy because you can use dry erase markers on them and they offer a bit...

Hey guys, Just looking for some suggestions on pre and post liveaboard activities in Belize. We'll be heading there in January and having never been I'm looking for some suggestions. The wife and I are pretty active and getting to Tical sounds like a great time, we also haven't dove for a while...

@BronxJoe in Moorea we dove with Moorea Fun Dive, had a great time. Christian and Marie were great, we did our open water referral dives with them and then a series of dives after. We did a drift dive in the lagoon to check out the Spotted Eagle Rays, Lemon shark Valley on the outside of the...

@salth2owannabe thanks for the rundown on Huracan and Itza as well as your additional comments @rongoodman and @giffenk, not dealing with potentially new equipment and people on a daily basis plus the transit time to the dive site is definitely a selling point for the liveaboard. Also...

Fair enough, I should probably take into consideration @Trailboss123 dive count (and all other trip report authors) when reviewing, given my experience I am likely to perceive the dive sites differently than others who may have already logged dives around the globe. I think I'd like to do the...

Thanks for the detailed overview, definitely making me think about how I should structure may trip in Jan!

Hey everyone, My wife and I are making our first trip to Belize in January and I was looking for some opinions on whether or not the liveaboard is worth it or if we may be better off staying on land. Based off @Trailboss123 report on the Aggressor III I am somewhat hesitant on booking and...

Very cool video Dai Mar, and great shots of the back wall, I'm glad I got to both.

Thanks for he input everyone, I couldn't decide on which to do, so I did both. Visibility on the back wall was awesome and we came back and did some snorkelling on the front side later on in the week and that was pretty amazing as well. We dove two sites off Lanai; Monolith and 2nd Cathedral...

Unfortunately I didnt see any Mantas, I think its something you see when you're lucky. You could ask Denis at Abyss and he might be able to give some more details and possibly reccommend some sites to visit to increase your chances of spotting one. Seeing a Manta and a Humpback is on the top of...

I cant comment on Fiji, that's on my travel and dive list for sure. I have been to Tahiti in late 2013 and we stayed on the island of Moorea for two weeks. We landed at PPT on the main island of Tahiti, took a cab to the catamaran terminal (10 min, if that) and walked on that for a quick boat...

If you can get on the Spirit of Freedom, I would reccommend them. I was on there in September for the 3d/4n Cod Hole trip and we had a great time. Staterooms were roomy, food was excellent, the boat had plenty of places to relax, dives were fantastic and the crew were all super friendly. I'd...

Hey Judy, I was there in September last year and did two dives out of Noumea with Abyss Plongée. I had a great time and they were able to get my wife and I on a boat with pretty short notice. They are able to do the brief in English with no problems and have the dive info written on a...

Hey everyone, I'll be off to Maui at the start of April and plan to dive either Lanai Cathedrals or Molokini Back Wall. I've seen a recent thread with everyones input on which to do, but what I would like to get some more info on is how difficult the back wall is since most operators indicate...
