    Question Maldives Liveaboard Back-to-Back OR Liveaboard & Resort?

    Keep in mind that when doing a back to back LOB, you will have 2 days off without diving in between: the last day of the first leg, so that the ones who leave will have enough time to deal with their no-flight-time and the first day of the second leg, when the new guests arrive. So, if you...

    Info Ship sunk in the Red Sea

    I would say that towing is no longer an option... The article says "A ship attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels has sunk in the Red Sea" ans "Additional satellite images taken Saturday by Planet Labs PBC of the area the Rubymar had been in recent days no longer showed the vessel."

    Question 2 resorts in August for snorkeling and diving ?

    I have not much to contribute, but... As you suspect, moving from one resort to another is very likely to involve a journey back to Male. Nova seems to be linked via Seaplane and not using domestic flights to Maamigili. Don't see this as a downside: it's a quite excinting experience. So, i would...

    Update to what has been said before: Nothing has really changed and i can confirm the positive comments regarding location, hotel, food and diving. An absolutely fantastic place to be, if you don't fancy the artifical and overpriced resorts.... Some points: * IMUGA: Covid restrictions are indeed...

    Equipment Woman loses lower leg to prop - Maldives liveaboard

    Yes, of course. That would be the adequate reaction . But do we know in what state of panic she was and whether she had a cutting tool? ... And for the stats: On our last trip (report to follow :cool:) the check dive on the first day also included launching the SMB. Rational behind that...

    Equipment Woman loses lower leg to prop - Maldives liveaboard

    I guess (!) that is what happened: SMB line got entangled in the prop and dragged her toward the boat. Reaction to avoid injuries would have been to put feets/fins toward the prop and trying to swim away.

    Which month for BDE?

    Filling tanks should run in the background as there should be enough tanks on board and not only 1 per diver… Assuming all 4 dives at the same place or only short distance between different spots.

    Best Maldives resort for diving end Jan24

    Not specific to diving, but perhaps a start: Complete Maldives. Do you fancy local islands, or does it has to be a resort?

    Question Diving in Madeira, Portugal?

    I remember always having a guide for the excursion by boat, regardless of the gear you rent. You may be allowed to dive the "house spots" alone after having had a check dive. They are no dive spots where you can drive to on your own like e.g. Bonaire.

    Question Diving in Madeira, Portugal?

    Backmount doubles are not that common... so, i won't be surprised if you do not find any. Have you tried Manta Diving in Canico? At least they have some nice dive spots...

    Hurghada Area Recommendations

    There are shore dive options at Fort Arabesque, yes. That looks quite interesting. They also mention that they are diving the Salem Express which is near Safaga. If they do that, they have the capabilities to dive Panorama Reef and Soma Bay. I would assume they dive Salem Express first, and...

    Hurghada Area Recommendations

    No rental car to go diving with at your convenience, yes. If there are several dive shops near your hotel, you can chose the one you like and go diving with them. That will be the case in HRG with many hotels and many dive shops. Unfortunately no house reef. The more South you go, the more you...

    Hurghada Area Recommendations

    Well... Egypt is not Cozumel: no "unescorted" diving. No hiring a car and just diving where you fancy. You will have to go with a dive shop. The first dive will be a so called check dive with a dive master who will assess whether you are realy that experienced as you state. No worries, usually...

    Hurghada Area Recommendations

    J&M is a good choice. They have an extended range of options for day trips and also some "XXL-Trips" or 2 days trips. Have a look, if not already done. The XXL-Trip goes down to Panorama Reef/Abu Kafan and i guess J&M are the only one going so far south from Hurghada. I think i remember seeing...
