My wife won a weekend trip to Cabo - so we're going soon - she's looking
forward to spending time at the spa... so I'm looking for things to do.

ocean, so there must be something to see, right? Any advice ...

Am staying at the Radisson in April and am looking for some info on dive

Any recommedations on Liveaboards in Austarlia other than Mike Ball

I'm going to be in SE Asia at that time.  It is my desire to spend a week in
Sipadan/Mabul, maybe 3 days and 3 days at each.  I've been trying to
organize a trip from home but it doesn't seem to be working out too well.
Does anyone know if it will be easier for me to organize myself ...

Any thoughts between Jacks Diving in Kona and Kohala Divers further

appears to be quite a difference in price for them also (Jack's $275
