2010 trip to North Sulawesi. Manado lies at the Northern tip of Sulawesi, Indonesia and is situated just three and a half hours flying time east of Singapore. Located in a bay and surrounded by a dramatic volcanic landscape, Manado is host to some of the finest diving in South East Asia. Divers will experience everything from the smallest pygmy seahorses and nudibranchs, to eagle rays, orcas and pilot whales. Manado is an idyllic, tranquil diving destination with an outstanding and celebrated bio-diversity.
March 2009 trip to the Maldives. Departing from Male aboard the enormous Nautilus II. Taking in various dive sites around North Male Atoll , South Male Atoll , North Ari Atoll and South Ari Atoll. With the opportunity to see some large paleagic species such as manta rays, whalesharks and reef sharks. Plus diving many of the healthy reefs around the Atoll's.
April 2008 trip to Cebu in the Philippines.We stayed at the Kasai Beach Resort and all diving was from here on traditional "banca boats" . All the diving was along the MoalBoal coast. Mainly wall and reef sites , except the 'Sunken Island' which a few of us had the opportunity to dive (4 knot currents on a small plateau out in the middle of the straight). Moalboal has been a diving Mecca since the early 1980's and it is still considered one of the best places for diving in the Philippines.
December
2007 trip to the Maldives. The Maldives is situated off the Western Seaboard
of Southern India stretching between the 7 degree meridian in the North to
just below the Equator in the South. The Atolls are actually the tips of a
submerged volcanic mountain range sculptured by the ocean currents and
overlaid with centuries of rich coral growth. Nutrient rich waters on the
West side create a perfect environment for the large plankton feeders such
as Manta Rays and Whale Sharks.
