I have an opportunity to dive Northern Wrecks and reefs on a great liveaboard at a fantastic price in December. But I'm wondering if the best day boat diving out of Hurghada or Marsa would be better? I've never been to the Red Sea, but I've read that the diving gets better the farther south you go

What are the odds of seeing hammerheads in Palau diving for a week land based?

Will a 3mm full Pinnacle plus a 2mm vest and beanie be enough for land based 2 dives a day in July?

I'd like to upgrade my plastic band to the titanium one if you have a dead stinger with the titanium bracelet.

Anybody got a "dead" titanium Suunto stinger that I cannibalize to get a titanium band?

I was watching Bill's post earlier and find it petty to kill the whole thread. I was on the cusp of booking my third trip to Bali, and then the thing we apparently cannot talk about occurred. I placed my plans on hold to see how this plays out. Bill's thread was therefore of great interest to...

I'm really wanting to go back to New Guinea, having dived there 5 years ago at Kimbe. I've found quite a few trip reports on Tawali--- but nothing recently. Can anyone give me any current info on Tawali ?

I'm looking for land based diving in Maldives with fish blizzards and a big fish bonus. I'd also like to see the least amount of dead coral. Which of the three have suffered the least bleaching? Thanks in advance.

Since I'm not the biggest shore diving fan, I'm looking for a Balinese dive op that has the best boats for diving the area from Tulamben to Padang Bai by boat without a van ride. Lembongan will be our first stop and there are good choices there for boat diving, but the mainland seems to be a...

I'm interested in diving in Rangiroa, but not interested in diving with sharks that have been fed by humans. Did a couple of shark feeds a few years ago in Oz & PNG--& I've had enough of pavlov's dogfish in a frenzy. Anybody got info on this?

The British press is reporting that a 38 year old woman died 3 days into a liveaboard trip due to DCI. Her family faults a delay in medical as contributing to her death. Reported to be on the MV Sea Spirit. Sea Spirit appears to offer Nitrox. I wonder if she was diving Nitrox? I understand...

Love my Z2, but it has developed a horrible high pitch whine on inhalation. Would like to here from the AA rep.. Should I contact SCUBA TOYS or work directly with AA. The piercing sound was so bad last Oct. in Sulawesi, that our divemaster wouldn"t get near me. I have read that the fix is piston...

The black plastic end cap on the first stage of my z2 has disappeared since my last dive trip. Is this critical for operation of the reg? I'm going to try to get one before I leave for Sulawesi in 4 days-- but that may not be possible. I'll find out when my dive shop opens Monday if they have a...

Thinking about going to Curacao for the first time and did a little research on YouTube --- looks like quite a bit of coral bleaching and algae growth on the reputed best sites. Anyone?

Going to fiji next week and wondering what the water temp is. Last time I went in October the temp was consistently 79 deg. F everywhere we dove--- but I know that can vary quite a bit year to year.

Planning this years dive trip and thinking about Palau---a place I've never been, but always heard great things about. Recent stories of bleaching and the December cyclone however give me pause. I did R4 last year and Komodo before that and am thinking N. Sulawesi might be a better alternative...

Thinking about diving while in Italy. Leaning towards either portofino or ustica based on what little I can learn through web searches. I've read that Mola Mola can sometimes be spotted in both places, any insight? Mainly looking for nice fishy reefs with Mola sighting as a longshot bonus...

Looking for a dive operator in Morocco.. I read that Terre Azur and Taffs are no longer in operation.Does anyone have current information?

Dream trip to Raja Ampat is next week.Never been so excited about diving anywhere. I do have some apprehension about overnighting in Makassar. We're spending a few nights in Bali and then one night in Makassar. I was planning on getting out and seeing the area for the day I was there. But, in...
