Ha’apai Tonga 2018
With a week to go the divers are keenly packing and struggling to keep their luggage within the allowances. With a day to go we are told that our internal flight has been cancelled – oh no! We had two options stay at home or go on an adventure. We chose the adventure of course. So […]
How To Choose a Dive Site
Choosing the right dive site for the day is the number one way to make or break a day of diving. Every diver out there would probably agree that choosing the best dive site gets easier with experience, but very rarely does anyone explain what to consider in choosing a site. For me there are […]
