A thread SOLELY dedicated to let all readers know why Thailand is such a GREAT dive destination. Reason 1: The water is warm.

I've been searching online for a while now for tidal predictions (tide-tables) for Thailand for the year 2011 and beyond. The Royal Thai Navy Hydro-graphical Dept. told me that they have no info until November this year about tides for 2011. Some web sites have free downloads of programs with...

Hi, Just finished my third dive holiday in the Philippines. Had a great time as always, especially on the black sand at Dauin, Negros Island. Enjoy the pics!

To all of you residing in the Land of Smiles: HAPPY SONGKRAN! :bounce2::bounce4::bounce: :bounce3::bounce4::bounce:

I've got 1 PADI Recue Diver Manual (2005 edition) and 3 PADI Open Water Diver Manuals (2004 edition) available for FREE for anyone interested. They are the original manuals and in good condition. I prefer to give the manuals to someone in Phuket but would be willing to mail the manuals...

DIVELOG ANDAMAN SEA JANUARY 4-9, 2010 A short trip this time with only 6 diving days. Visibility was a bit down at some sites due to unusually poor weather (we got multiple days with lots of rain and strong shifting winds). Another strange phenomena was that the tidal currents ran continuously...

A little story about the Bowmouth Guitarfish (Rhina ancylostoma) Most of us divers have a list of “most wanted”creatures we would like to see some day - some where, when diving. For many it’s a whaleshark, for some it’s schooling hammerheads, for others it’s a rhinopias and there are even...

PART 2: Dive 20: Location: Myanmar, Mergui Archipielago, “Western Rocky’ Visibility: 10-15 meter Current: Moderate Marine-life: 2 BOWMOUTH GUITAR FISHES (Rhina ancylostoma), HARLEQUIN SHRIMPS (2), hawksbill turtle, porcelain crabs, white eye moray eels, cowrie shells, coachwhip trevally...

PART 1: Myanmar (Burma-Mergui Archipelago) was very good and the dive-sites were filled with critters. The only recent blast-fishing I saw in Myanmar was at High Rock. High Rock has always been a "blast-site" and I wasn't all that surprised to see the damage during the dive. While diving...

Just came back from a dive trip and had a great time. Some of my personal favorite sites are Shark Point and Richelieu Rock which have never disappointed me before and once again offered some outstanding diving this time around. We did not dive Hin Daeng/Hin Muang due to fairly strong wind and...

PHUKET GAZETTE / THAI VISA PATONG, PHUKET: Kathu Police are still trying to determine the identity of a foreign woman found dead in Patong Bay on Tuesday afternoon. The body, presumed to be that of a middle-aged Caucasian woman, was pulled from the water at about 5pm by Kusoldharm Foundation...

Sometimes it seems all I read about the environment is "Gloom & Doom". Not today though! :biggrin3: Palau is to create the world's first "shark sanctuary", banning all commercial shark fishing in its waters. The President of the tiny Pacific republic, Johnson Toribiong, will announce the...

A thread dedicated to all the really bad things that are about to happen to our water world or are happening right now. I'd like to start with this article on the BBC today: BBC News, Manado, Indonesia The world's most important coral region is in danger of being wiped out by the end of...

Bowmouth has found while diving (a little while ago) a large and very nice Sea&Sea red correction filter for an UW VDO housing. He has no use for it though and is more than happy to give it away for FREE to anyone on this board who can use it. East-siders are only legible to receive the...

Eight to ten giant manta rays at Koh Bon..... Whale-sharks at Elephant Head Rock and Koh Bon..... Now seems to be the right time to get on a boat and blow some bubbles.... The decision where to dive (Eastcoast vs Westcoast) seems to be a no-brainer at all...:mooner:

Bowmouth's wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day. For all the girls a box of :chocolate: and a :rose: and for all the boys a couple of :beerchug: and some :popcorn:!

LK, I think the title of this thread says it all. Keep on bashing!!! :argument:
