    Help with Bali Itinerary

    Went to Bali last September. After one night in Seminyak-- we spent a leisurely day traveling to Pemuteran (with a driver who knew where to go). We spent 4 nights at a great villa in Pemuteran-- lots of very good diving at Menjangan. Then had our driver take us around the island to Tulamben for...

    How to book domestic flights within Indonesia?

    I just booked Garuda flights from Jakarta to Manado on nusatrip.com for our trip in September. They took American credits cards-- no problem. Only issue was giving them a phone number-- my US cell number was "not a valid number". So I just used the Jakarta hotel as the phone number-- that...

    Where in Bali if you have only 2 nights?

    You should also consider Nusa Lembongan---short fast boat ride from Sanur. You stay on Nusa Lembongan and dive at Nusa Penida. We were there in September--fantastic--giant Mantas and Mola Molas. Diving is excellent at Tulamben--but you need to stay there--The Liberty wreck is ridiculously...

    Panama Bocas Del Toro

    Just returned from 9 days in Panama. Spent 5 days in Bocas and did some diving. September and October are the times to go so you can travel to the outer reefs. Bocas is largely a surfing destination most of the year--although diving is available --especially for novice divers taking some...

    Visayas dive trip--Malapascua

    My buddies and I are the middle of our first dive trip to the Philippines--thought I would report on the trip so far. We had decided to focus on the Visayas--flying in to Cebu --and then transferring largely by Ferry. Our stops are going to be Malapascua, Bohol, Siquijor and Dumaguete. We...

    Oslob whale shark - to do or NOT do it!?

    Don't do it. Go see them in their natural habitat in Leyte--or see them somewhere else--La Paz Mexico in September. We have no idea idea what feeding will do--but it seems logical to me that their normal migratory patterns will be adversely effected. Will they stay in Oslob year round? What...

    Opinions about our itinerary (Bohol-Panglao-Siquijor-Apo-Cebu-Malapascua)

    MH. Way too much travel time. Getting to Malapascua alone is at least 5 hours from Cebu and more if you take the bus. If you spend that much time getting there and back, you need to spend at least 4 nights at Malapascua. Then maybe 4 nights on Bohol and 4 or 5 nights in the Siquijor - Apo-...

    Great day on the Peace to Santa Cruz

    Yes the food is good. After the first dive they had a pot of hot tomato soup--simple but it really hit the spot after the first cold dive

    Great day on the Peace to Santa Cruz

    My buddies and I had an absolutely perfect day of diving on the Peace out of Ventura on March 2nd to Santa Cruz Island. The boat was chartered by Blue Water Photo. Seas were flat--brilliant sunshine--75 degrees (out of the water). Water was 52 degrees and visibility was decent around 40 feet...

    IPAD 4 as a Monitor while Travelling

    Thanks Peter. It is amazing that you would need to go through all of these hoops to do something as basic as reviewing reviewing your photos on an Ipad.

    IPAD 4 as a Monitor while Travelling

    I have the Lightning to Sd card reader--and I think that's the best I can do. You can only review thumbnails and you can not review videos without downloading. Oh we'll. that Surface Pro looks great but I already have the Newer Ipad. It is amazing to me that the Ipad is not capable to be used...

    IPAD 4 as a Monitor while Travelling

    It seems to me that you should be able to use your IPAD as a monitor to view pictures and videos while traveling on a dive trip. However, other than actually downloading the photos from an SD card to the IPAD, I can not find any way to simply hook up the camera to the IPAD to review the pictures...

    Macro lens and red filter for the FIX S100

    I just bought an S100 with a FIX housing--great prices right now. Am trying to figure out how best to combine a Macro Lens along with a convenient red filter. Am thinking of the Inon UCL-165AD lens (the bayonet seems to be a better system)--and put the lens on one of those Inon Lens holders...

    Best Baja diving - where and when?

    Mr Peter Guy: "What is it about the water that makes one write "February to April is not the best time to dive Baja?"--The answer is-- this is not the "BEST TIME"--why?-- because of visibility and water temp. For many divers --myself included--this is useful information. Not that the winter in...

    Best Baja diving - where and when?

    Unfortunately February to April is not the best time to dive Baja. I have gone to La Paz many times--and am heading to Loreto later this month--September and October are great months to dive in Loreto/La Paz. Water is warm and usually decent visibility--I agree with Elizabeth--head over to the...
