    Question travel muck divers - what fins do you use?

    You are unlikely to need to back up very often. Not as much as you think. Although, yes you should possess the skills to reverse when needed.

    Trip Report Trip Report - Zanzibar (East Coast)

    I pondered whether to disclose this - after all, it is his livelihood. But decided that there is more good in sharing this than not. About $60 per dive. This included everything. Transportation to jetty, marine fees, boat, cylinders, snacks and water. While I did not bargain with him, I got...

    Trip Report Trip Report - Zanzibar (East Coast)

    About the diving. I was based on the east coast near the Mnebma reef- which is apparently the best (general) diving in Zanzibar. Diving was good. Visibility was 35+ meters every day. Water temperature 27 to 29 Celsius. Hasan and Juma would pick me up every morning from the hotel, because tides...

    Trip Report Trip Report - Zanzibar (East Coast)

I wanted to go somewhere that only needed a direct flight and little to no commute on arrival. Zanzibar fit this. A direct five hour flight from Dubai to...

    Macro Dive Trip April or April/May ‘24

    I am in the same boat. Planning a 10 day trip and considering either returning to Bali, Anilao, or Sulawesi. I enjoyed them all. Or I am considering going to Alor instead. Would be ironic if we ended up diving together.

    Lending Gear yay or nay

    Was mostly solo diving during a weekend liveboard somewhere remote (Musandam for @Searcaigh) when the trip host (a friend)asked if I would dive with one of his dive friends. I was okay with it. One of her fin buckles snapped during the dive. I ended up giving her my fin and attached her fin to...
