Reviewed Sites

  • Flag of Malaysia Barracuda Point (3 dives) Malaysia, Sipadan, Borneo recommended 11 years ago

    This is one of the 'famous' sites in the world and it lives up to its billing. The Barracuda, Bumphead Parrotfish, and variety of life are truly impressive.

  • Flag of Malaysia South Point (1 dive) Malaysia, Sipadan, Borneo recommended 11 years ago

    I had one of the best dives of my life at this site (along with a great story about getting my picture in the paper). Top tip - it might be difficult but try getting your operator to do this as a dusk dive. It's amazing.

  • Flag of Egypt The Islands (1 dive) Egypt, Dahab, South Sinai recommended 11 years ago

    Shallow dive with some impressive coral formations. Very close to Dahab Village.

  • Flag of Egypt Gabr el Bint (1 dive) Egypt, Dahab, South Sinai recommended 11 years ago

    This site provides a nice break from the shore diving in Dahab. It's a great day trip with some of the healthiest coral I saw in the area. The boat (I was on the Romy Star) was very nice, lunch was great, and I enjoyed the diving.

  • Flag of Egypt El Shugarat (1 dive) Egypt, Dahab, South Sinai recommended 11 years ago

    One of my favorite dives in Dahab. Amazing Gorgonian Fans and nice views of the dropoff. Found a Hawkfish in one of the fans. This site is near Gabr el Bint and is usually done on a boat as a daytrip out of Dahab. It was a nice break from shore diving. Highly Recommended. (Check with your shop / guide as some captains do not like to stop here).

  • Flag of Malaysia Eel Garden (2 dives) Malaysia, Mabul, Borneo 12 years ago

    Frogfish, nudibranch, octopus, yellow eels, eagle rays. This is a nice close site to Mabul island and will not disappoint. Great variety of life.

  • 10 years ago Flag of Mexico Dive Choice Mexico (2 dives) Mexico, Cozumel, Quintana Roo recommended

    Ricardo Garcia has a phenomenal diving resumé from around the world. His experience and knowledge of Cozumel dive sites and the Cenotes (caverns) on the Yucatan Peninsula are much appreciated. We had a safe, rewarding, and fun experience diving with him. Highly Recommended.

  • 11 years ago Flag of Australia Yongala Dive (4 dives) Australia, Townsville, Ayr recommended

    Instead of booking your Yongala trip from Townsville and sitting on a boat for a few hours, get yourself to Ayr, enjoy the great accommodation available from Yongala Dive, and then enjoy the quick ride to the wreck on their RIB. The staff is second to none. You will have a great experience. Highly Recommended.

  • 11 years ago Flag of Australia Remote Area Dive (4 dives) Australia, Townsville, Queensland recommended

    Fantastic dive operator based in Townsville, QLD. They offer an overnight camping & diving trip to Pelorus Island that was easily one of the highlights on my trip to Australia. The staff is professional and fun and the experience is definitely a special one. Highly Recommended.

  • 11 years ago Flag of Egypt Dahab Divers (13 dives) Egypt, Dahab, South Sinai recommended

    Stayed with Dahab Divers in January of 2011. Was very happy with both the accommodation and the diving.

    The camel trek to Abu Galum that Dahab Divers organized for us was one of the highlights of the trip.
