    Anybody been to KBR/Lembeh recently?

    I'm in the planning stages for our trip next December and after Chuuk and Palau last month, it's time to go back to Indo. We were at KBR in 2018 and loved it, so I thought it was a no brainer to go back again. As a matter of fact I already booked but haven't sent the deposit. But I came across a...

    Togian Islands or East Kalimantan?

    Just returned from Misool which was quite spectacular diving. And it's timed to plan our next trip for December 2018. We have been to Raja twice, Komodo, Wakatobi and Bali, so I'm thinking a bit more adventurous and off the beaten path. So far, the plan includes flying into Manado on Dec 22 and...

    Diving out of Belize City?

    We are going on a short business trip to BZE later this week. We won't have time to go to one of the Cays but we do have time to dive Saturday and Sunday. I contacted what appears to be the only dive shop in Belize City but from the reply I gather that they are mostly geared towards the cruise...

    Going back to Indo in December 2015 - But were....after Raja Ampat??

    We did Raja Ampat, Menjangan and Tulamben in December of 2013. Just came back last week from Fiji, Kiribati and Marshall Islands.... And already time to make new plans :) I had my mind set on Wakatobi, but there were some not so favorable reviews just lately and it's also incredibly expensive...

    Where to stay and dive in Fiji? Considering Wananavu Beach Resort.

    We have barely recovered from Jet Lag (got back one week ago from Raja Ampat and Bali), and the next trip is taking shape already. Starting out with a week in Fiji, from there to Tawara in Kiribati for a week and lastly Majuro in the Marshall Islands. The itinerary is quite hairy with one flight...

    Please help me decide!....Raja4Divers? Papua Paradise? Is there a 7 day Liveaboard?

    We will arrive in Jakarta on December 17th and after a few days of business meetings, will make our way to Sorong. It seems that most liveaboards, or at least the ones I found, only do 10 to 12 day trips. We don't have enough time to do such a long trip as we "have" to go to Bali afterwards. So...

    Any Tips on how to get to (or close to) Raja Ampat on FF Miles?

    I am slowly starting to gather information for (hopefully) a trip to Raja Ampat for the end of 2013. From the looks of things it will be around 30 hours to get to Jakarta alone. We do need to stop there to visit with some people I do business with. Has anybody done the trip on Frequent Flyer...

    Saba or Statia?

    We are looking for a quickie, 4 to 5 day, nothing but Dive, Eat and Sleep Getaway from Ft. Lauderdale/Miami. Next month or month after. Since we got a Mega $$$ Trip coming up in December (Aussie/PNG/Guam), it kinda needs to be on the none 5* Side... Little Cayman or Cayman Brac also in the...

    Which Dive Shop in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area carries Seavision Masks?

    2 Days before our trip to Hawaii and Micronesia, I am starting to put together our gear, just to realize that my Color Correcting Gauge Reader Seavision Mask did not make the trip back from the Keys 2 weeks ago :depressed: Too late to order one online, I need to find one tomorrow! I loved my...

    The last leg of our Trip in September will be 4 days on Oahu in the Kaneohe area. This is after 5 days Kona and 5 days on Kosrae. Are there any good Dive operators in this area or nearby?

    VERY detailed Trip Report Curacao May 13 to 18, 2011

    We left Miami on Friday, May 13, 2011 at 4.30 pm on American Airlines. The agent at the counter did give us a hassle about one of our suitcases being too heavy and when I mentioned that there should be an extra allowance for sporting gear he looked at me as if I came from a different planet. No...

    A few concerns with newly aquired Ikelite Housing for Canon Elph 300HS

    This morning I became the proud owner of an Ikelite Housing for the Elph300 I just bought. This is my first Ikelite housing. So far I am finding two problems with it: 1. It is extemely difficult to depress the shutter button half way to focus. 3 out of 5 times it takes the picture before the...
