    Sharm El-Sheikh F.A.Q.

    If they say not to fly to Sharm, how do they recommend to get there? Just yesterday, Egypt Air added 4 flights for the days we are traveling so they must publish their schedule about 6-7 months out.

    Sharm El-Sheikh F.A.Q.

    We are booked on King Snefro (4 days, 3 nights) and the flights from Cairo-Sharm-Cairo are only scheduled now 1-2 times per day in Nov/Dec/Jan. In October, they are 7-10 times per day. I am guessing that they have yet to "load" the November flights in the schedule, can anyone confirm that I...

    Options for diving Koh Samui?

    I would suggest that you contact Peter at The Dive Acadamy (http://www.thediveacadamysamui.com).We dove Chaweng Reef earlier this month, and they picked us up, had first class gear for us to use, and we did a dive with a great divemaster (Tom) on the reef. Although viz is not great, you go slow...

    South Lombok Info

    Decided to give it a miss this time, and head from Gili Air to Nusa Lembongan tomorrow. But I think we will put it on the itin for next year, and just book a flight into Lombok and go to SW Lombok upon arrival. Seems like that is the easier way to do it. Thanks for the info.

    South Lombok Info

    The above is an older post, but thought I would reply here instead of starting a new thread. We are now on Gili Trawangan and moving to Gili Air for a few days. After that, we planned to go to Nusa Lembongan but we are considering trying SW Lombok. I emailed Divezone-Lombok - Scuba diving...

    Moalboal hotel - Savedra or Anthony's ?

    We are going to go to Moalboal. Last time we went there, we stayed at Savedra Hotel. Nice view and location. We were going to go back there but I saw a website for "Anthony's". Has anyone stayed there? Opinions as to recommend it or Savedra? Also, if anyone can tell me exactly where Anthony's...

    Dive AND Snorkel Trip in Maui?

    Trilogy's website says they do not offer Scuba. Link: Trilogy website Two years ago, we did the morning sail and snorkel trip on Paragon. It was a really great trip, but they too did not offer scuba, probably because of the reasons stated above in this thread. There are 4 of us (2 AOW, 1 OW...

    Seven minutes, one octopus, Palau Weh, Aceh, Indonesia

    Wasn't sure the best place to post this, or even if people might be interested. I took this last month off the beach at Gapang Beach in Palau Weh. Just two of us and I didn't see him (her?) at first, my buddy did. I would have swam right by! I wonder on all my dives in groups ... "how many of...

    Pulau Weh resort

    I was at Lumba Lumba last month. Here are my notes. - We used their equipment, and after a couple of changes, our rental equipment was OK. They are very haphazard in their organization of the equipment. The dive shop was incredibly busy all the time. - Briefings were just a few words...

    Casio EWC-120 housing for Exilim EX-S10

    I am searching for an underwater housing for a Casio Exilim EX-S10. The model is EWC-120. I searched all over the web for one online and only came up with "out of stock" or "discontinued". Amazon shows a link for one (I think from digideep.com) but it is also out of stock...

    Has anyone used Scuba Mau?

    We're going to give Scuba Mau a try this coming Wednesday. Coming in on Carnival Imagination Cruise Ship from Noon to 9:00pm. Doing Scuba Mau's 1:30pm dive. Setup of the dive via email was super easy. After the dives, I'll post my experience here. Cruise ships aren't really my cup of tea...

    Boots in storage for awhile - anyway to soften them?

    Freezing in Chicago now, but going diving (from cruise ship) on Tuesday (Key West) and Wednesday (Cozumel). I'll pick up some Wool Wash tomorrow, Moosejaw in Chicago has it. I have Woolite but I don't think they are the same. Thanks for the quick advice.

    Boots in storage for awhile - anyway to soften them?

    I was given a pair of Wenoka Sea Style booties, hard sole. Seems like about 7 mil. They look like they are in decent shape except they have been stored for a very long time, and they are so rigid that I can hardly get them on and off. And it looks like they were stored with something on top of...
