I've got a trip scheduled for Sipadan the 5th of Sept.  I've heard that this
may not be the best time to go.  Anyone been there of late or heard anything
about kidnappings or the haze over Malaysia or Borneo?
thanks.

My husband and I are considering spending a long weekend (3-4 days)
over Thanksgiving on Grand Cayman to take an intro scuba course.  I'm a
good swimmer and fairly experienced snorkeler, but while he's snorkeled
a few times, and really wants to learn to dive, he's still pretty

Planning to go to Fiji in June to dive with Aggressor. Interested in
horseback riding afterwards. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in
advance. Please respond off list to egoltsATsan.rr.com

Interested in going to Breezes in Curacao in November.  Anyone been there???
Thanks,

We put together a last minute recreational trip for last weekend. We
drove from the Philly area on Friday afternoon -  the drive should have
been 6 1/2 hours but was more like 7 1/2 due to traffic and the normal
wait at the border.

I looked up "Holy Crap" today and it said see this...
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) -- A marine researcher is missing and presumed
dead after he was attacked by a shark off a popular beach near the
southern Australian city of Adelaide, police said.

Like Matt, I would like to meet fellow divers.  I live in Austin, Tx.
I just returned from a dive trip to Papua New Guinea... outstanding!
thanx, shawn abbott

Has anyone used this airline to get from Aruba to Bonaire?  Is it
reliable?  I usually fly Air Jamaica from Newark to Bonaire (through
Montego Bay).  But, since Air Jamaica is stoping all flights to Bonaire
I'm looking for another travel plan.

My wife and I have just recieved our PADI Open Water certificates and are
traveling to Turks and Caicos in a couple months for our first "real"
dives. We want recommendations on dive guides and what to expect. Any
recommendations will be appreciated. Thank you.

I am an experienced diver (over 20 years but just recently got certified)
who has never dove anywhere but New England. I am planning a cruise next
February (the main reason I finally got certified) to the Caribbean. I hate
to admit it but I'm one of those "Mike Nelson/Sea Hunt" ...

we live in Australia and want to go diving in Fiji, we are looking at
staying at
Susies Plantation with pro dive... would like to know if anyone has
been to Fiji diving before ?

We are looking at a Western Carrib. cruise (on Carnival Lines) starting
2/14/06 & I am looking for dive recommendations for the best two sites to
dive out of these four places:
Cozumel

I am a travel agent specializing in Bonaire. Since KLM has a non stop
flight from Quito to Bonaire I wish to start cross promoting the two
dive spots. Does anyone have an excellent contact for diving in the
Galapagos?

We're planning to spend 9 days in Maui toward the end of September. We'll be
staying on the northwest part of the island, and have read/heard that the
southwest part of the island has the best dive sites. Would you have any
recommendations of a good dive operation we could use ...

Going to Jordan - Aqaba mid Nov, Anybody having experience of diving
