Another trip that had been on my bucket list for a long time is now complete. It was absolutely amazing. I did 36 dives over 10 days with Fish & Fins Palau and the Palau Aggressor II. Both operations were fantastic in their respective ways. Aggressor offered its usual full service expedition, and the staff […]

Tiger Beach Bahamas
After a long flight, and 2 days of no diving due to foul weather, I finally got to do 8 dives over 4 days at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas with Epic Diving. The experience was awesome. Though I generally prefer “natural,” IOW unexpected and unprompted, encounters, being able to get this close and even […]

Philippines Above Water
I recently returned from an amazing live-aboard dive trip to the Philippines with the Philippines Aggressor. The trip was excellent on every level. I will start this series with all of the above water shots: untouched and unedited, unlike my underwater pictures that I take a bit more seriously 🙂

Hawaii to Alaska Cruise
So my wife, Rosa, finally got me to go on a cruise. I had always wanted to do the Alaska Inside Passage cruise including Glacier Bay, so my wife, who likes the long sea crossings, convinced me to do this cruise where we spend 4 days around Hawaii, then 5 days crossing to Alaska, then […]
Back in Cabo san Lucas with a day to kill, so I might as well dive again. If you are not a partier, there is nothing to do here on land but eat and sleep, best I can tell. So I went out with SeeCreatures again, the sister company for the Nautilus live aboard company. […]
For our last day of diving, we went to The Boiler, a submerged seamount that is just off San Benedicto Island. This again is supposed to be the place for the giant Mantas, and it did not disappoint. For these dives I used the SportDiver housing with the 2500 and 5000+ lights.
Roca Partida is a small “parted rock” covered in guano that juts up from the deep ocean floor. Due to many boats around the small area, we could only do 3 dives here so as to not over stress the small environment. This was supposed to be the place for multiple Manta Rays, but I […]
The second stop on the trip was Socorro Island, the biggest island and the only active volcanic island in the archipelago currently. We spent 2 days here at two different sites: Cabo Pearce and Punta Tosca, and did a total of 7 dives. This is where we started to see the giant Manta Rays. There […]
