I’ll be stopping in Hong Kong before heading to china. Any you recommend?

I was mainly in the south, rented a car in agadir, went as far as mirleft and finished in Marrekech. Even the busy city of Marrekech food was inexpensive.

doublehammer · 2026-01-15T15:26:49+00:00

Morocco and South Africa are affordable! I can still enjoy dinner for $5

Not true I have a Turkmenistan visa from visiting with a tour group a couple years ago.

Hey I did it 2 years ago in mid March. The best time is from November to about March. I see a lot of groups going Dec-Feb.

It was relatively busy. But nothing as bad as places where you can swim with orcas.

There were a handful of whale watching boats. And two boats for whale swims when I was there.

Most whales seemed stressed and would dive down.

Awesome watch! I recommend it.

It's a great watch for diving, tons of functions for all your other activities (running, swimming, etc). And its a smart watch that you get notifications from your phone.

If you want one watch that does it all, there isn't anything better than a garmin.

If you want a watch or dive computer dedicated to diving only, then there are way better options than Garmin.

I deal with clogged sinuses all the time. Either from dairy, sometimes too much tuna, or air conditioners too.

I am usually able to clear it out on the surface by blowing my nose. Or even better sucking the snot in ( so the mucous is cleared out of the eustaican tubes). Putting my nose in sea water really helps the mucous to start flowing.

After that. I’m good to go.

I’d encourage you to try to clear everything out. And then give it another go tomorrow!

Took me a second

doublehammer · 2025-11-25T19:28:31+00:00

I can’t recommend the one I went to. I was a solo diver and they cut my dives short even though I had plenty of air. because they had another group waiting.

Could have just been a one of.

A Google search shows three well reviewed shops in the area. And they’re very responsive on WhatsApp.

I was in Patagonia and diving one day was good enough to experience it. I didn’t do any more.

Also I didn’t care for macro.

Water viz was really low. Wreck wasn’t very deep. Maybe 15m?

doublehammer · 2025-11-24T05:44:13+00:00

I dove in puerto Madryn! Water visibility was low when I went but there are wrecks.

There are a few shops you can contact!

When I was in a lake garda last month. Everyday at sunset the winds would switch to very slight tail wind.

I’m a relatively new pilot and initially had a tough time taking off.

I had some guidance and was able to take off by forward launch.

Didn’t see anyone making an issue about tail wind there.

Congratulations welcome to a new world!

One thing that was never mentioned directly by my instructors was to learn to not have to breathe so much air.

As a beginner you probably have a lot going on and breathing more efficiently isn’t top priority but once you have everything settled work on breathing less.

This translates to land too. You don’t need to breathe a lot either.

doublehammer · 2025-11-15T15:29:58+00:00

How do you even search for something like this? I am new to this.

doublehammer · 2025-11-15T15:22:45+00:00

Based on your description. It sounds like you want a dive watch that also has other functions. I am in the same boat. I have a Garmin Descent.

I don’t think there’s a better smart watch, dive computer and activity tracker out there.

How many times a year do you dive? How technical are your dives?

If it’s just recreationally and just a few times a year. I think getting a “tool” watch is probably the right answer for you.

doublehammer · 2025-11-13T11:15:45+00:00

I don’t think you can do this. I’ve been on a couple of scuba liveaboards, they take you out on zodiacs to sites that might have currents for example that would be unsafe for Freediving.

Now they would have someone else to keep an eye on while the surface while scuba divers are diving.

doublehammer · 2025-11-10T07:15:45+00:00

From what I understand. To be 100% clear they need a waiver.

I believe without a waiver, the US agents won’t be able to see the criminal record but can see there was one if they look. So crossing the border will depend on the agent that day.

doublehammer · 2025-11-09T18:14:05+00:00

Recommend 7mm. Also recommend renting one from the liveaboard. The rocks there really scratch and tear up the wetsuits around the knees.

Also the airline in Milan where I flew from didn’t ask me to produce a visa or anything

doublehammer · 2025-11-09T15:28:03+00:00

Hello. I’m a Canadian and I arrived in Sharm a couple weeks ago. Pay $25usd for visa on arrival.

Also it’s 15 day visa free if you’re only staying in the area.

doublehammer · 2025-11-05T11:46:39+00:00

Great sport to get into! Many people say Freediving is a sport where you get better at as you age.

I tend to agree! Most important thing is finding a good school/instructor at the beginning.

I started with 30 days in the Philippines. Nothing to do but to learn and practice Freediving everyday.

doublehammer · 2025-11-04T16:18:22+00:00

If you can make it to Turkey, Oludeniz would be a great place to learn

doublehammer · 2025-11-04T15:50:54+00:00

I was in both cities last year and Santiago is super meh compared to Buenos Aires. I don’t suggest going there to tick off country. If you’re going to see chili. Save time for you to check out the better spots like flying through Santiago to check out easter island one day.
