PS, the Hollis and Oceanic I have not used. FYI

Hi Cathouse, I have owned 2 of the Atomic Aquatics frameless masks and I think they are great. I use this as my primary mask. Despite the pricetag the mask is great, provides a good fit for my funny fit face and fits everyone I know (superb silicone frameless design). I also have had some...

Great input on a resort I have been eyeing up! Thanks Cmont and all others! An kudos to Kilili for the fan idea and generosity too! Jason

Great trip report Gee13! I really liked the detail and am quite happy you got to see your mola molas! Any advice on how to avoid the "Bali belly?" I hope to head out to Bali next May, I know that isn't mola mola season but I only have a few options for time off. Aloha, and thanks again for...

Avoid China Airlines at all costs!!!! Trust me! I am still traumatized! :)

Hi Cadlina_mac, I have recently found some great info on farecompare.com that helps with this type of planning. Helped me understand the booking process more. I have done the booking pattern as described by Quero however it can be difficult for US residents to purchase tickets online from...

.....and please let us know how things go on your upcoming trip! I am hoping to find myself in Bali next May or so!

Hi Anemonefishman, I am just starting my research but I have heard a lot of good things about Bastianos so far. And they have two setups, a resort in Bunaken and one in Lembeh, the seem to hit up all the sites and do the work of getting transfers between the airport and all the spots you...

Thanks to everyone for the info here! I was starting to snoop around Scubaboard for tips as I think we will go to Bali next May or so. Great tips here in this thread :) I have a few questions: How is the weather there in late May? I will be traveling with my wife who is a non diver. It would...

It sounds like this site may soon be called "Tumble in" :) :)

Bear with me here if I play the devils advocate a bit. The folks in Hawaii Kai were concerned with a shark tour operating right in the bay. The bay is extensively used for just about every watersport and the locals felt that a boat chumming for sharks didn't mix well with its current use. I...

and here are those seals! Wish I got a better pic!

Nice to hear all these good reviews for Gabe! I did my advanced, nitrox, rescue and dive master courses with him and had a blast! He is highly recommended. Good work buddy, and good to hear that people are getting to see the monk seals this year! I saw my first two a couple weeks back, awesome!

I have posted a trip report and a few pics to boot!

And I did a two tanker trip up to sites along the Pali coast with Bubbles Below Divers, had a superb time with a most excellent company. The three crew each had something special to share and we were well chaperoned as two were instructors and one a DM, all three were coast guard certified sea...

Hey gunslinger808! Well I hope you will have a great trip! I have a couple recommendations for you regards Bohol. For accommodations we stayed at OOPs Cottages, right behind the OOps bare and restaurant/cafe. They are the best deal in Bohol at 1000 pesos/20 $ per night for a room with a...

I was asked by Gabe to do a little trip report about the good diving I had in the Philippines during my vacation August 27-September 15th. I am all too happy to do so and hope you folks enjoy the pictures! I had the pleasure of getting over to the P.I. with my girl Sheila and good dive buddy...

Wow this thread has heated up a bit! The differences between local fees and tourist fees is perhaps offensive if people are blatant however it is pretty easy to avoid the offense. I usually pay the operator on the down low after the tourists have settled up and don't make the difference...

Hey Gilligan! Let us know how it goes! I want to visit Camiguin on one of our future PI trips. Out of curiousity where are you in Hawaii. I live with my girlfriend in HNL. Always good to meet another Hawaii/Philippines dive enthusiast! Aloha Jason

Hey there Tannebil, I dove Moalboal and DumagueteAPo last year and i just got back from my second PI trip last week, in which I dove Bohol (Balicasag). To get the best advice I would do what I did and check out bill22 's dive trip reports. But otherwise: Here is my impression. First...
