Tigers and hammerheads odds in high season

Hi!

I was wondering what the odds to encounter tiger sharks and hammerheads in high season are?

Thanks!

Is it legal to go blue whale diving in Sri Lanka as of 2018?

i have been looking around at places to dive with blue whales. It is impossible to swim with whales in the united states. I like the sound of going to india, but is it still legal to dive with the blue whales... i heard there was a government ban 10 months ago.

North West Point, Providenciales

Providenciales11 Sep 2018 - 30 Dec 2018

NWP dive site is spectacular for freediving as it has the most amazing clear water, visibility and marine life ranging from turtles, barracudas, moray eels, eagle rays, rays and reef sharks. Top of the wall lies in about 45 feet and drops down to 7000 feet.

Faarufushi Maldives

Northern Atolls1 Aug 2018 - 1 Aug 2018

The entire reef stops at around 15-17m, and the remainder of the deeper parts did not look particularly

interesting, so it looks like a perfect reef for house reef divers to start or finish their diving on, and

perfect for Snorkeling also. For the most part it is very healthy-looking and abundant with life, and we

were impressed by how little rubbish there was on the reef considering the building work ongoing. We

hope that it remains this way during the rest of the building for the ongoing year.

Cano Island Vs Playas del Coco

Hi Everyone,

I'll be backpacking through Costa Rica early-mid September. I'm an avid diver and have been researching Cano Island and also Playas, where do people recommend?

Have read a few different reviews online, some recommending Cano, others Playas. What site has the best chance of Sharks/Manats etc...

Thanks a Lot

Basking Shark Diving

The Dive Report site shows basking sharks are present in September in Catalina Island. However, none of the dive shops mention them, and I could not find anything else online about operators or tours to see basking sharks. Can anyone provide a tour or dive operator for basking shark encounters, or recommend dive sites where they might be spotted? Thanks!

I spend three weeks trying to find a place to dive off the coast of California with blue whales, and it was pretty difficult. Catalina was the only place where it was legal to dive with blue whales, but none of the dive centers even took boats out into the ocean. I was very disappointed and discouraged by this. I honestly found more dive centers in Phoenix, Arizona that were willing to plan a trip to Catalina for this kind of expedition. The only center that plans dive trips with the blue whales in the united states charges $10,000 a person which i cannot afford frankly. Does anybody else know places safe to swim with the bluies that are also friendly to female tourists?

Mola Mola season

When is the best time to dive in Gozo and hopefully see Mola Mola??

Diving end of August

Hi,

I would love to discover diving when I am in the Andamans at the end of August, maybe do an open water course.

There are so many companies you can go to, and I wonder whether the sites near Havelock and Neil are better than e.g. chidiya thapu or Long Island, or just really touristy?

Thanks!

Heleen
