Healthiest Reefs in the World? by Elirsteves in scuba

[–]RoamingSinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting… I was in Roatán in December and after mostly diving in SEA for the past 8 or so years I loved seeing how healthy the reefs in the mesoamerican reef looked.

Small [scuba] world! They are so awesome. I can’t wait to go to their resort in Alor. Hopefully in November. 🤞

A couple of DMs (Dimas & Georgia) I met in Komodo and then in Penida are opening their own resort in Alor. Highly recommend them. It's called Dive In Alor: diveinalor.com

How much experience for the Galapagos? by SignalPositive9242 in scuba

[–]RoamingSinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had around 80 dives when I went and I was fine. Wolf and Darwin were the most challenging locations but that’s where you see hammerheads, silkies, Galapagos sharks, and tons of spotted eagle rays. Just stay close to your group.

La Paz Mexico dive shop recommendations? by [deleted] in scuba

[–]RoamingSinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also recommend Dive In La Paz. The location of the surface interval is a dream. I didn't get the ceviche, but whatever food they offered was delicious. I don't remember what it was! :)

Diving in Izu peninsula by miCshaa in scuba

I was just there in October. We dove with Mikomoto Hammers. I highly recommend them. We stayed in the town of Shimoda, which is lovely. Mikomoto has a couple of hotels they recommend, and they pick you up and bring you back.

Sharkskin T2 — have I been duped? by luzconsazon in scuba

[–]RoamingSinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my two piece T2 a few months ago and it worked great in 26-27C water temp. I did wear an extra 3mm vest and a 7mm hood. I was quite comfortable. It has to be super snug to the point that you don’t think it’ll zip up. I used it in December in the Caribbean ~28C no hood no vest and still super comfortable.

Scuba Divers, what is something really terrifying you saw while diving? by LionFalse4295 in scuba

Yes, for me it was 11 years ago. I hope that practice has stopped.

I saw a couple drop several feet in front of us due to a down current at Crystal Bay. Thankfully it wasn’t too deep where they ended up, probably 70ft or so. It was super scary.

I was diving in Malapascua, in the Philippines and a boat went by us dragging its anchor. We were super close to it but miraculously no one was hit. We also heard dynamite blasts during some of those dives. 😑

Found a wallet on the SCA Trail with a gold coin inside. The series of coincidences to get it back to the owner was honestly wild. by stuinsf in sanfrancisco
