Diving Posts: Destination Guides

Hello again, Sipadan

There’s only a few places on earth were you can see huge schools of whirling barracudas that engulf you, large sea turtles of different species, lurking sharks, and jammed-packed reef of angelfish, triggerfish, morays and gobies all in just one dive....

This was my second time in Sipadan during the same year, i went aboard Celebes Explorer with 9 friendly divers from China during 31st July - 07th August 2016.

HIDDEN PARADISE - PULAU WEH

There is a place in Indonesia very dear to my heart.
It is a small active volcanic island where time and stress seem not to exist. The place could easily be under a magical spell.

Life is simple and wonderful. It is a paradise above and below water. Everybody is happy, smiley, very friendly and extremely chilled out. Everything here is “Bagus!”(Good!), as the locals say.

I fell in love with Pulau Weh as soon as I set my foot on it...

Maldives - Diving in the rough season

The wind is blowing, a pale sun cheers a shy “good morning” among the clouds and the choppy Sea hasn’t the usual shade of blue that everyone expects to see..

Nothing to be surprised of, though: it’s the end of May, already, and it’s time for the Southwestern Monsoon to show up down here in the Maldivian Archipelago !

Turtle Kingdom - Sipadan

Palau Sipadan means "Border Island" in Malay local language, it is an island of outstanding natural beauty. The island is the only oceanic island in Malaysia, rising 600 meters from seabed, it was formed over thousands years by living corals growing on top of an extinct volcano.

The amazing diversity and abundance of marine life found at Sipadan makes it one of the top world's top diving spots and without doubt the most famous scuba destination in Malaysia.

Fiji is all about the “Senga na Lenga” attitude.

No worries, “Senga na Lenga” is a common phrase you will hear bounced about while travelling this beautiful island chain of the South Pacific.

Gone are the days of cannibalism, travellers & divers are now welcomed with open arms, a huge smile and a coconut cup of Kava (Fijian grog).

Maldives - The “Sunny Side of Life”

In everybody’s mind synonymous of clear blue water, cloudless skies and white sandy beaches sprinkled with lush palm trees. But for our group of divers who landed only few hours ago in this Paradise, they seems don't care about all these trivial matters, they just cannot wait to jump on our liveaboard and finally begin what has been awaited for such a long time: It’s February, and the time has come to finally start the 13 days long dive liveaboard trip towards the extreme south of this archipelago!

THE CENOTES OF THE RIVIERA MAYA

There are many places in the world that offer cave and cavern diving. But there is only one place in the world where cave and cavern diving are simply unique.

The Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico is home to the Cenotes. They are the largest underground fresh water system in the world. The word “cenote” comes from the Mayan language and means “entrance”.

Sawadee Ka - Koh Similan

Our team member - Shueri, just came back from a 5D/4N liveaobard tripin the Similans (09 - 13 November, 2015). This time, Shueri has joined one of our partners - Paupau Dive Club from China on board with MV Hallelujah.

Chasing the Golden Triangle

We just finished a week-long liveaobard diving trip in the Red Sea for the famous B.D.E route from 26 September to 3 October 2015 ;D

If your idea of a perfect morning involves a 5:30 AM wake-up call, a cup of strong Egyptian coffee, and the smell of damp neoprene, then you already know why the B.D.E. (Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinstone) route is the holy grail of Red Sea diving. This isn't just a trip; it’s a high-octane pilgrimage for divers who prefer their water deep and their fish big.

Ras Mohammed National Park

At the southernmost point of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba meet, lies Ras Mohammed National Park. Since its establishment in 1983, this protected area has become a safe haven for a wide variety of marine life. Over 1000 species of fish and 200 species of coral can be found here.
