I liked your vid too. It is not boring at all ;-) Like Lermontov, I think a bit more of fish shot would have make thing even better. I would have also cut the shot when the diver swims across and we see only the bottom half. But as I said, very nice vid. Bravo :-)

I booked my flight to Manado for mid-November. I will be picked-up at the airport by the dive shop and will spend the full holidays at the dive shop. I don't think there is any reason to worry.

The accidents that happened in La Réunion were in areas where there were signs forbidding to enter the water because of the risks of shark attacks. These areas have low visibility and some are near fish factories were the remains of what is not used is rejected in the water (sorry if my...

Totally agree with you. I dove this wreck as well and found it really creepy. It was my first wreck ever and I found it difficult to try another one afterwards.

Hi, I see your post only now. St Eustatius (or Statia) is a great dive destination. I have been there twice and really enjoyed both times. The dive sites are never boring, there are some spectacular underwater "landscapes", at least two superb wrecks. You'll see lots of different kinds of fish...

I am a bit surprised by the "very few marine life", by the "less life" in Atlantic sites of Spain and Portugal. Maybe, the OP, although he went to areas with good reputation (I have been to Ras Mohamed and was impressed by the quantity and variety of fish: school of barracudas, wall of...

Hello, I have French friends going to Florida at the beginning of April (where I am from as well) and who would like to dive there. They are not very experienced, I would even say that some of them are beginners and some of them would like to try scubadiving ;) Searching on this forum, I think...

You mean from your "friend" Rob Sinke? ;) I don't know and will try to find out. But as Highdesert wrote, it is not far from Pulisan. ---------- Post added October 14th, 2013 at 03:57 PM ---------- Thanks a lot Musi. It is great (and re-assuring) to hear such a great feedback. About the...

I am going next month -from the 15th November to the 24th at the Kalinaun Resort. It is located on the mainland but not on the Manado sicde (for those who know the area). It is on the east side, a little north of Lembeh. I have been to North Sulawesi several times (Bunaken, Bangka and Lembeh)...

I would not generalize the situation of one place to the whole Greece. Where did this bad experience took place?

Very sad news. I had contacted him last month because I wanted to go there in November and I found him very friendly. My condoleances to his family and friends

Hello, I would also recommend Kas. I have been there several times. In addition to the wreck indicated by Haslet, you have other spectacular sites like Tunnel and Canyon. Visibility is usually very good. And Kas is a great place to spend holidays. There are no big hotels/resorts and a few...

@Mantra: thanks for the post. @p0lly: you should not touch anything underwater. That might mean killing the animal you have touched. And, yes, it is also dangerous for you. A lot of creatures are poisonous. Enjoy your dives :D

I have been several times to both Bunaken and Lembeh. So... There are a few muck dives sites in Halmahera, but if you are into muck dives, I would go to Lembeh. In fact, I might go back there in November ;) About Bunaken: Halmahera is much better in my opinion. There are also a lot of wall...

I have been to both resorts and would recommend them. There are very different resorts in type of diving but the service is fabulous in both places. @Octopuppy: which resort are you asking about? Lembeh is about muck-diving and Weda is more about wall diving with super coral and lots of fish of...

This thread is giving me ideas for my next holidays! I have been to different places in Indonesia (Lembeh, Bunaken, Pulisan, Pulau, Halmahera) but not yet in the South Sulawesi. Is November of good month for diving there? (@Edmund: I sent you an email yesterday) I like to go to places where...

Hello to all. I am in a similar situation as Randallr. I'd like to go diving in Bonaire, but I always travel on my own. So any feedback to the OP would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Very nice! I have the Suunto, now I need the drysuit! :blinking:

Thanks a lot for the report. I have just arranged for me to go and stay there in November for 2 weeks. I know the owners from their resort in Lembeh (Divers Lodge Lembeh) and I am very excited to go to Halmahera. Of course, it will be a very diffferent kind of diving than in Lembeh, but I hardly...

Thanks for the report. How would you compare diving in Kas and Fethiye? And how was your night dive? Is there more critters during the night? I am going back to Kas in September and will dive with Archipel (I am the faithfull kind ;-) ) but their approach of diving seems very similar to...
