Hi, We'll visit the philippines for 3 weeks in April/May. Nothing booked yet, but plan is to build around dives, so from Anilao, Puerta Galera, Coron to Palawan. Finding the divesites is not the problem, but what we look for is hotels with off beach snorkelling (so accessible without boat). We...

Brilliant, thanx CuzzA.

Hi, Found this small fish (6-8cm) swimming under a rock on a sandy beach (approx 50 cm deep) in Marsa Alam/Egypt. I can't find it in the Reef FIsh ID book. Does anyone has any idea what this could be? Thanks in advance,

Hi all, We'll have 13 nights in April flying on Manila. The initial plan was 4 nights Anilao,4 Puerto Galera, 4 Coron and 1 Manilla for our flight back. However Flying to and from Coron will leave us only 2 (maybe 2.5) days diving in Coron, due to the flight back. So the question is, should we...

Thanks all for the feedback. We'll be going next weekend (for 2 weeks). Only booked the flight, so we've the freedom to travel around.

Hi, Just booked a last minute to Florida and looking for some good Dive spots. I posted a similair question in the snorkelling thread (for snorkelling ;-) What I found so far is that the best diving is from Jupiter (Is this correct)? I'm interested in beatiful reefs and/or bigger fish and...

Hi, Just booked a last minute to Florida and looking for some good snorkelling spots. What I found so far is that there does not seem to be a lot of good offshore snorkelling. The best snorkelling seems to be a (look for snorkelling, not diving or party boat) boattrip from the middle keys...

Hi, I am looking for a good Identification book to cover the Pacific/Red sea underwaterworld. I can find seperate books about fish, nudibranches, plants, etc etc but I would like to have 1 (or 2) good (and fairly complete) book(s) which covers it all: fish, crabs, shripms, starfish, jellyfish...

Hi, We're going back to the Philippines for 4 weeks (not in the best season: Juli/August) and I'm looking for input for dive locations. Last time we also visited this period and due to the rainy season could not found any good snorkelling spots, so any sheltered locations would be welcome...

My list. I did not add places where I took a boattrip to a reef (meaning leaving out Sharm el Sheikh, great barrier reef and Bali (Menjagan island, Nusa lembogan) & Flores, Rincah & komodo). So, here's my beach accesible snorkeling list: Top: Maldives Vilamendhoo Australia: Coral bay &...

Although the video gives some good information, coming to the conclusion that: "..., underwater swimming should be banned at all aquatic facilities". When it comes to underwater swimming for time or distance only 1 rule applies: Just don't do it" seems pretty stupid.

Hello, I contacted techservice who did send me some general troubleshooting solutions. Techservice told me to contact the local distributor (awaiting answer). ---------- Post added August 12th, 2014 at 02:05 PM ---------- Distributor did send me to the dealer with the request to send me the...

Beautiful pictures. Did you use an extra flash or any post production afterwards?

It's going to be fun, just try to relax. Indeed use a wetsuit. The water will be cold and as a beginner it will help you floating. It indeed will make doing deep dives difficult, but as a beginner I wouldn't even do that. Stay horizontal for snorkelling and be relaxed . The less you move, the...

Hi all, My SL961 flash gave up during my last trip. It works fine on land, but as soon as I go underwater the flash won't charge and fire (also the test mode does not work). I used rechargeable batteries and already tested with "normal" new batteries but this does not make a difference. Anyone...

Hi Guys, As I was looking for my next trip and places with good snorkelling from the shore I came upon this thread. It indeed seems difficult to find the right spots. Plenty of information on diving (which I like but not so much as snorkelling) and snorkelling boat trips. I did not add places...
