    Can you hire dive gear in the Line Islands, Kiribati?

    I've seen rumours about a dive shop/ gear hire on some of the tourist sites for the Line Islands, but haven't been able to find any concrete info. Does anyone know if such a thing actually exists? We'll be sailing through Kiritimati (Christmas) and Tabuaeran (Fanning) Islands later this year but...

    Where to dive when sailing through Tuamotos and Society Islands?

    How should I balance my dives between the Tuamotos and Society Islands? Should I dive my heart out round Fakarava and Rangiroa, or are there 'must see' sites I should try to do round the Societies? I'm spending this year sailing from New Zealand to Canada, with French Polynesia as our first...

    Dive passes in French Polynesia (Top Dive and Te Moana)

    My husband and I will be sailing through French Polynesia this year, and I'm trying to figure out our diving budget. We have limited personal gear so will need to use dive companies. I'm looking at the dive pass options- Top Pass and Te Moana. Te Moana seems quite a bit more economical and...

    Vancouver Island diving

    Hi! In a couple of days I jet off to Vancouver Island for a fortnight. I've read many good things about the diving round there, and am tempted to try it out. I was wondering what the water temperature is likely to be like? I am not drysuit trained so would be diving wet. Here in NZ the...

    Hair control

    I'll state it outright. My hair thinks it is the illegitimate offspring of Medusa. But far worse behaved- and hairier- than you average snake. It's not the length that is the problem, it is the tendancy for it to turn into a poodle-with-its-paw-in-an-electric-scket type pooooooof when faced with...

    Tonga

    I'm off to Tonga in July for a two week holiday. I'll be spending the first week with my boyfriend, a non-diver, sailing and swimming with the whales (fingers crossed). The second week I am travelling solo and will spend much of it diving. I'm torn between the Ha'apai island chain and Vava'u...
