We were very lucky, I agree. For me hammerheads are what I always seem to miss, but I hope that I will eventually get a chance to see them. We stayed right near everything in Placencia at a place called Garden Lodge. Comfortable, basic accommodations with a private bathroom and shared kitchen...

Placencia, located in the relaxed, southern end of Belize, is a place where everything gets done, but at a far less stressful pace than areas with heavy tourist traffic. Good food and friendly people are easy to find in this colorful village that has long been a haven for ocean lovers and scuba...

We actually weren't thrilled with where we stayed, so it sounds like jfe has a good recommendation. If I had it to do again I would just book the first night or two and find a place once I arrive. We got a deal on what is supposed to be one of the nicer places near the main road but it was not...

Kyokuzan Maru sounds amazing. I really hope to get there too.

Whether it be wrecks, hammerheads, or stunning reefs, there is a lot to see when diving the world class waters of the Red Sea, so much so, that it is difficult to know where to go first. From north to south you can almost always expect good to excellent visibility, with water temperatures of...

Hairy frogfish are extremely effective ambush hunters. Their skin is covered in irregular dermal spindles which resemble hairs & they have the ability to change color & disappear in their surroundings. Hairy frogfish use their first dorsal spine as a fishing lure into their wide mouths.

I recommend making sure you have at least 3-days of diving in Komodo however that works out. As I wrote in the article, I stayed at the Dragon Dive Hotel/Hostel, but I know the Liveaboard has similar comforts and design - and my understanding is that it is about 20%-30% less expensive than most...

Thanks for the kind words. We really enjoyed our time in Komodo. I wish we were going back to soon too. I'm a bit jealous of you for that. = )

Thank you. I hope you have an amazing time. I would bring the 5 mm. My husband, who was the photographer, didn’t wear a wetsuit at all but he’s very warm blooded. The rest of we’re cold, so the 5 mm was nice to have.
