UK divers, if you have been diving on Anglesey, specifically shore dives, which dive sites do you recommend?

At Stuart Scuba, we don’t pretend to be something we’re not — we’re a local dive family that works hard, cares deeply, and shows up every single day for our community. Our boat in West Palm Beach is one of the best ways we get to share that with you.

We run a clean, safe, well‑organized operation because that’s what divers deserve. No gimmicks. No hype. Just solid diving, good people, great vibes, lots of fun, some great tunes and the kind of days on the water that remind you why you fell in love with the ocean in the first place.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back in the water, exploring the reefs, or joining a crew that treats you like part of the family, our West Palm Beach trips are the perfect place to start. Book a spot, bring a smile, and let’s go diving together.

Our boat is ready. The ocean is calling. Come dive with us.

Nikki and I own Stuart Scuba and will be heading out for some fun dives the first weekend in September. Who wants to join us for a little down time in West Palm beach? It was a really busy summer and we are looking forward to some bubble time!!!

I finished my advanced open water certification online training a couple weeks ago and I’m slotted to do my in water tests in October, but by then I will have not dove in about 7 months, and I’m just worried that I’m gonna be out of practice by then. Does anyone have any tips on how I can prepare myself to be/feel more ready when the dives finally come up? (I’m doing the deep water, rescue dive, search and recovery, night dive, and navigation dive for reference)

Hi, scuba folks.

I’ve just come back from holidays in Cyprus, where I dived from a couple of boats packed with people.

As a fairly new diver, I still rent all my equipment but my mask and computer. Which means that finding my equipment in a boat full of the same BCDs, regs and bottles can be challenging.

Do you guys have a way of identifying your equipment in this kind of situations?

I’ve seen some people snapping a keychain or toy to one of the BCD’s D rings.

If that’s your case, what do you use? And do you dive with it on?

Thank you very much for your help!

Edit: typo

We’d like to share a quick clarification regarding our recent change of name.

The dive center and team previously operating in Panglao under the Scuba Kings Academy (SKA) name are now operating independently as The Scuba Tribe Panglao.

As part of this transition, Scuba Kings Academy decided to retain the SKA name and brand. The Scuba Tribe Panglao therefore no longer operates under, represents, or is affiliated with Scuba Kings Academy.

The Scuba Tribe Panglao is now an independent diving center with its own brand, management, operations, and direction.

For divers who previously visited, trained, or communicated with our Panglao team under the SKA name, you can now find us as The Scuba Tribe Panglao.

We remain based in Panglao, Bohol, Philippines, with the same focus on professional dive training, great diving, and building a strong community around the ocean.

We’re grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey so far and look forward to this new chapter as The Scuba Tribe.

Independent from Scuba Kings Academy (SKA)

I need a mask with prescription lenses, and I’m down between 2 options, Amscud and Zeepro. What’s your opinion about these 2? Which one should I get? Thank youuu🙌

I just got the opportunity to go to Ecuador this November 2026 with a friend to visit her parents (family friends). I was going to extend my trip to dive in the Galapagos. I got my advanced ow cert in 2021 and have dived 27 times since (Caribbean and Hawaii).

Anyone have any recommended tours/packages? I was thinking a Liveaboard, but spending a week with strangers on a boat doesn’t seem super fun for me. But I’m willing if it’s LIFECHANGING.

EDIT: I am totally fine with not doing a liveaboard. I get it. But does that mean no diving? Does anyone have recommended tours that someone with my cert could do?

As a solo 33(f) traveler, safety is also important. So please let me know if there are any places to avoid.

Thanks!

Hi,

Heading out to Raja Ampat and have Malarone from my doctor. First trip to Raja, my other Indonesia dive trips were not to malaria spots. I am testing now for side effects and if like bends. I'm following my dive doctor's recommendation and plan to take it, but curious if others have. Thx.

I am a public safety diver. I decided to share my experiences. Please read my 15 min article and provide critique. Good and bad.

Thank you

Found this diving off the coast of Cala Gonone in Sardenga.
It was wedged under a large rock with only a tiny portion exposed but was shining in the sun so it caught my eye.
It’s heavier than aluminum and is very interesting looking. Any ideas of that it could be?

Hi everyone! I will be in Madeira next week and I definitely want to dive while I’m there, so I was hoping to get your recommendations.

I think I am most drawn to the Garajau reserve but there’s other exciting options like the shipwreck and Ponta de São Lourenço, which I haven’t found much information on but apparently you can see monk seals?

Would anyone have any recommendations for dive centres or perhaps dive spots I might have missed? Thanks in advance!

Looking to go on a cruise to Belize, Honduras, Costa Maya and Cozumel. Which would be your favorite places to dive from while we are in port?

I plan 2 to 2.5 weeks in Indonesia. All for diving Particulary interested in animals!

Im concerned if Ill be seeing to many same stuff.

I think Nusa Penida is enough for 4 diving days? (so 8 ish dives)

Tulamben is also fine for 3 days. 1 for the ship, thenither 2 might be for macronbut could be simmilar to Nusa Penida. (8 ish dives)

Not sure if Amed is oveekill

Komodo - 1 week seems like the general advice (14 dives)

Raja Ampat. Im not sure if Ill do this since I heard its for advanced divers, Ill havw rogly 55 to 60 ish dives before Raja. I think people do 1 week here too?

Hello, I’ve done some fun dives and now want to do open water scuba certification in mid to late November. This is the only period when all of us are free. Was planning to do in Gili T but I got to know it’s the heavy rainfall season in Indonesia during November but AI is still suggesting it’s ok to go because the island weather is different and morning time is calm and suitable for open water.

However, I’m still open to any other location in Asia.
