Diving experience in Nov last 1-3yrs?

Hi, I was wondering if there is anyone that can share diving experience from around Nov in the recent years? Keen to hear your point-of-view, but also what locals (e.g. divemaster) had to say with regards to bigger fish sightings!

Bateau Indonésie

Raja Ampat6 Mar 2023 - 22 Mar 2023

Un bateau à éviter en Indinésie :

Le Seven Seas

Vu le prix payé par nuit (environ 20% de plus) on peut s’attendre à des prestations parfaites.

Ce n’est pas le cas comparé aux nombreux autres bateaux sur lesquels je suis allé en croisière.

La nourriture :

Le seul point parfait voir excellent. Enfin des plats non piquants (la sauce est à coté)

Un petit bémol pour le jus d’orange le matin qui fait avec de la poudre, nul et limite foutage de gueule. Pour ceux qui ont connu le tang et bien ça c’était bon.

Pas de machine expresso (capsule ou grain) même si cela reste payant sur les autres bateaux.

Le pire c’est qu’ il y en avait une il y a 10 ans.

Les cabines :

Agencement pas mal, mais concernant l’intervention journalière du crew elle se limite à 1 minute 30 le temps de remettre en place le drap. Aucun ménage durant les 17 jours même pas un coup sur le lavabo. Ailleurs vous avez un passage des que vous êtes en plongée, on plie votre pyjama ou autre, si vous laissez une serviette trainer on vous la raccroche, on vous remet du papier wc……. Lamentable

Le matériel de plongée :

Vous n’avez quasiment jamais accès à votre stabe durant le séjour sauf au moment ou vous montez dans l’annexe pour partir.

Pourquoi ? parce ce que les bouteilles sont changées sur l’annexe des votre retour et ensuite les annexes ne sont plus au pied de la passerelle.

Bon courage pour rajouter ou enlever quelque chose, cheker son matériel avant le départ (il faut systématiquement recentrer sa stabe et la remettre à la bonne hauteur sur la bouteille, vérifier si les poches à plombs sont bien fixées (j’ai failli perdre les 2 et des fois elles n’y sont pas…) quand vous avez 6 ou 7 plongeurs plus 2 ou 3 crew sur des annexes très, très étroites et pas super longues. Du jamais vu.

Plenty of fish in Kalpitiya with Dune Towers

Kalpitiya1 Jan 2020 - 27 Apr 2022 with Dune Towers - scuba diving resort

We are visiting Kalpitiya area in Sri Lanka regularly for several years and it is perfect! We have been staying at Dune Towers resort in Alankuda who arranged all the scuba diving with Sam and safari and other trips in Kalpitiya.

We are meeting morray eels and various rays every dive. Most of our dives was in 13-18 meters with very nice visibility of 15-20 meters. This season we have enjoyed with my daughter dive sites right in front of Dune Towers resort in Alankuda. We have seen big marble rays and huge schools of fish, beautiful moray eels, shrimps cleaners and many more.

Can I do a snorkel trip from South Male Atoll to South Ari?

We are staying at the Saii Lagoon Resort and would love to snorkel with whale sharks, where is the closest place to do this and how would we get there?

Hi Lauren! I think you can ask your diving center. Also as an option you might consider island hopping and spending several nights somewhere like Dhigurah island. Please bear in mind that nobody can guarantee that you will actually see the whale shark, so you might need to join several trips which is going to be quite pricey and difficult given your resort geographical location.

Tin Lizzy wreck in front of Bangtao beach

Phuket1 Feb 2022 - 1 Feb 2022 with Merlin Divers Phuket

Tin Lizzy is a tin-mining excavator that has fallen of a boat over 30 years ago. This little wreck together with 3 huge piles concrete blocks is home to many many fishes. You can find all sorts of reef fishes on the wreck and certainly a very interesting dive sites for macro photography.

The dive site also offers some very hard to find creature like real stone fishes, flounders albeit small ones and the flatfish aka crocodile fish.

From Kamala beach it is a boat ride of about 30 minutes on a converted longtail boat - typical Thai style wooden boat. Merlin divers offers a half day trip that often visits Tin Lizzy. Th season to dive there runs from end of September to middle of May. The dive site depth is maximum 16 meters at high tide. The site is also big enough to do 2 dives there.

The dive site is sensitive concerning the visibility because it is hardly a kilometer out of Bangtao beach hence with the shallow water and waves it quickly gets the visibility to less than 10 meters. Best is always to dive Tin Lizzy with slack high tide or slack low tide around half moon when the change of low to high tide is the minimum.
