On the 11th of October the Exmouth Diving Centre was going out on one of their Eco-tours: a full day adventure with snorkelling on Ningaloo Reef.

At about 7.30 am one morning we left Fitzroy Crossing in Western Australia and drove towards Tunnel Creek.

We ended up umming and arring whether or not we should go on a helicopter flight. The cost was not insignificant, but we would be able to see a lot from a great perspective.

Still considered the gold standard in live-aboard diving in Australia is Mike Ball Dive Expeditions, a live-aboard venture started in 1969 by Mike Ball.

Once you have had an amazing time somewhere it always worries me to want to go back. Will it be as good as the first time? Will things have changed? Have things stayed the same, but you have changed?

After two weeks of diving around Ambon and the Banda islands, northern Bali offered the perfect place to chill out.

Visiting Banda is interesting for two reasons: excellent diving and its amazing history.

There are a number of reasons why Ambon is not yet being affected by mass tourism with its remoteness only one of them.

Papua New Guinea occupies half of the third largest island in the world and 160 other islands and 500 named cays.

It is one of the few places left in the world where a diver can see macro critters, pelagics, and big stuff, as well as fantastic soft and hard corals.
