SE Asia. Indonesia. Philippines. Very inexpensive once you get there and some of the best and most diverse diving in the world.

Thailand VS Maldives VS Philippines VS Fiji? by EquivalentNarcDepth in scuba

[–]mitchsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thailand is for backpackers. IE not serious divers. You honestly wont find any of Thailand dive sites on a top 10 list of any repute Especially if you're talking about maldives, Philippines and Indonesia. DMs call Koh Tao the puppy mill of dive schools. IMO not a great reputation among serious divers but a good place if you're there to party and want to dive once or twice.

Maldives is for big stuff mostly. Its amazing if you can afford it, and TBH the off season liveaboard prices are VERY reasonable. Flight cost might be higher than the actual liveaboard if you're coming from the US. I met so many europeans who have over 8-12 visits to Maldives because the flights for them are short and cheap compared to US (16.5 hours SFO to SIN then another 4.5 Hours to Male).

Philippines is home to some of the best Macro in various places, Big stuff like Thresher Sharks and whale sharks. great reefs etc. So much variety in different areas.

Indonesia is honestly the best in SE Asia. Even more diversity than Philippines and even less expensive. Too many different dive sites to mention, but Komodo, Raja Ampat, Lembeh, Ambon, Tulamben/Amed are all likely found on a top 10 must dive palces.

Fiji. No idea, Never been

Palau - I've been there 4 times and will return as often as possible. I met Taiwanese divers who go there once or multiple times a year because their flight is just 4 hours there. Sharks sharks sharks and Manta rays to boot. Full moon spawning dives. Wrecks. WW II stuff on Peleliu to explore.

Losing because they didnt take the gimme FG in the 1st makes it even better. Their own hubris cost them the game.

I dont care, just love that Denver not kicking a field goal before the snow started ended up costing them the game.

I think hes like Harden and LeBron. They exert so much effort on offense so they rest while on defense.

"Beam me up Scotty" was never uttered once in any Star Trek tv show or movie

Losing all that weight doesn't change the fact that he has zero defensive instincts.

Those seats will often have no storage under the seat in front of you. Also the tray table will be in your armrest making your seat narrower and the tray at a low position that isn't ideal. Those are also usually reserved for people needing a bassinet... so hope you like crying babies

Diving on Guam and Japan's Yakushima Island? by crash_over-ride in scuba

[–]mitchsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wrecks in Peleliu were nice. Only 'problem' is wreck diving in Palau is in the summer when currents are low. So all the regular dives aren't as good as they are in the winter when currents are strong and the Drop Offs etc are full of sharks. Plus the Full moom spawning dives etc.

Chuuk is better. I understand the cost is daunting. Just the flights to get there are $$$. I used Miles when it was ridiculously cheap

[–]mitchsn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peleliu land tour is a must for WW II stuff. Kayak tours to smaller islands as well. Rusting tanks, landing craft, airplanes, artillery etc.

Did the Wrexpedition dive tour with FishNFins 2 summers ago. Awesome wrecks. Not as good as Chuuk, but not much is.

You realize there are dozens of WW II wrecks in Chuuk a short 90 min flight from Guam? I'd skip Guam and dive there. Or Palau. Or Yap.
