    Liveaboard in July – where to go?

    Kdac, Four of us booked a 10-day trip on the Indo Siren Jul 6-16 to Komodo National Park. We fly into Bali on Jul-5 and then take a domestic flight to Bima on Jul-6 where we will meet the boat. I'm holding 1 cabin for 2 other friends, but it's likely they will pass. I need to give up the hold...

    Getting a 5mm wetsuit on without it taking forever?

    I wear a pair of dive socks. Not only does the wetsuit slide on instantly, so too do my boots. The socks also help my feet from rubbing on the boots and after a week on a liveaboard it's a godsend. Depending on how tight your arm seals are use a second pair of sock on your hands (works just like...

    Dewi Nusantara/ Komodo/Alor/Wakatobi/south tip of Buton and Scuba Seraya

    The bar called Ozone on the 103rd floor of the Ritz is amazing. Trying to book a trip on the Dewi, but it tough as boats are filled at key times a few years out.

    Cayman Aggressor - Nov 2012

    I was on this trip 3 or 4 years back the week before xmas. We did make the crossing and dove all three islands, but I will say it was a rough crossing. Didn't bother me (I actually enjoy the rough seas, but I did take Dramamine). However, many others had a real tough time with sea sickness. I do...

    Cayman Aggressor - any reservations?

    While the Carib story scares the crap out if me and too would avoid it, I recommend you go book your Cayman trip. I've been diving Aggressor/Dancer (Cayman, Belize, Utila) and Explorer (Bahamas and Galapagos) for several years without any issues. In fact I just booked the Sun Dancer-Belize for...

    How much weight to add for a thicker wetsuit?

    @Pjhansmam- Outstanding. I also dive 10 lbs in a 3 mm full and was going to add 4 lbs for the 5mm. Thanks for the confirmation (or at least a starting point).

    Maldives versus Raja Ampat Liveaboard

    Considering a liveaboard this Dec to either Maldives or Raja Ampat. The Maldives liveaboards have many many available cabins whereas most of the Raja boats, that cost a few thousand more, are fully booked Any opinions why? I have no issue with the higher cost fro Raja, but finding space for...

    Out of these places which is the best?

    My vote would be Grand Cayman. Very easy diving and very healthy reefs. While I too would recommend Cobalt Coast, your cruise would likely arrange for ops much closer to where the ship docks. Not an issue. As a new diver Coz could be a challenge due to drift diving conditions. I love Belize and...
