    Dive Op Tipping

    That's actually why I was asking. I'm already booked with Seaventures, but they sent me this: Regret to inform you that there is no shuttle bus schedule at Tawau airport, you can look for the private van transfer at Tawau airport, if they still got space, they are willing to send you to...

    Dive Op Tipping

    What can you tell me about getting to Seaventures? I'm heading there for 4 days in March from Singapore. It looks like I'd need to fly into Lahad Datu? Or Tawau. I'll be traveling on my own, so hoping to find an airport shuttle, then stay somewhere in Semporna to get the first boat transfer to...

    Seaventures Rig

    Wingy, you're saying you were able to get a Sipidan permit staying in the dorm? Glad to hear you enjoyed it, I'm really excited to see it for myself.

    Seaventures Rig

    Hi Pete ~ Seaventures has been on my dive wishlist for several years, and I finally have an opportunity to go in March. I've been trading emails with Sandy and s/he's been very helpful. However, since I'm traveling on my own, I'm planning on the 4 day/3night Dorm package. I understand the...

    Cerebral Aneurysm - how long to dive again?

    Mike, that gives me so much comfort. Diving together is a really big deal for my husband and I - I had a mini freak out a couple weeks out of the hospital that I might never dive again, and it was awful. That took me here, and reading your thread was really helpful. I've got my follow up...

    Cerebral Aneurysm - how long to dive again?

    Thanks. I was able to stablize the internal pressure and the EVD was removed 2 weeks after the coiling. The skin over the 'Burr hole' is healed now as well, I just worry that the pressure changes of diving might be a problem. My husband and I have been planning a dive/travel trip to celebrate...

    Cerebral Aneurysm - how long to dive again?

    I recently had a brain aneurysm (6 weeks ago) and I am fine. Got really lucky because the diagnosis was fast, the coiling went well, and other than a little light headed and lower energy, I feel 100% normal. My follow up appts are next week, but I'm really worried about not being able to dive...

    THIS woman's perspective of Blackbeard liveaboard

    I've not been on Blackbeards. My husband has, though, and we go out on the Avalon (lostislandvoyages.com) instead. Same great Bahammas diving, same great liveaboard experience, same size boat, half the people. And, though I'm by no means a girly-girl, and 6ft tall, none of the other women...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Long time threadlurker, finally going to get a chance to dive BHB Friday/Saturday. Any regulars planning to be there that would be willing to show my husband & I around? We're doing a West Palm boat dive Friday morning w/ Starfish. Both experienced divers (over 200 dives); he's really good at...

    Monterey - November 9 to 11

    We're booked for Sunday on the BeachHopper2 - hope the weather is cooperative! I'm really hoping to get buzzed by a sealion or two = ) We'll try to do a night dive off the breakwater Saturday night, but we'll see how it goes. We're flying in, and landing SFO around 5p, meeting up w/ my...

    something between blackbeards and the luxury liners

    Exactly what LIVdiver said - been out w/ the Avalon and crew 4x now, we've already booked our trip for 2013. Such a relaxing trip with LOTS of great diving. We've taken to doing 'Dawn' dives instead of Night Dives - Ray is always accommodating no matter how wacky the request. He even helped...

    Liveaboard cost

    Agree 100% on Lost Island Voyages out of Nassau - I've been out w/ them 4x and each trip is better than the last. They don't shark feed, but they do go to shark feed sites, and when the boat pulls up the reef sharks start circling. It's really fun diving w/ them w/out the chumsickle in the...

    Lost Island Voyages (Bahamas) - Liveaboard Experience

    I've enjoyed 4 trips on the beautiful Avalon (Bahamas Scuba Diving | Liveaboard Diving | aboard Lost Island Voyages) and we're already booked for the same 10-day trip next year. First, they have 2 hot fresh water showers below, and a hot fresh water rinse/shower at the back of the boat. Ray...

    Monterey - November 9 to 11

    Agreed, thanks for the answers. Drewpy, we enjoyed a night shore dive from the beach by the pier last year, and if the conditions permit, would likely try for a Saturday shore dive either from there or Monastery as well. It'd be late afternoon or evening, though, and after Sunday our trip will...

    Monterey - November 9 to 11

    OK, cool, thanks. Sounds like the trek down to Carmel is a good thing? Maybe we'll go that route. We're east coast divers but I have family out that way, so we want to see how the other coast dives :D
