Caroline’s El Hierro Diary“After a little time relaxing on the balcony I make my way down to the dive centre which is about a 2 minute walk away and get everything ready for the dive. We walk down to the jetty which is directly in front of the centre (trolley’s are available if you don’t want to carry your gear) and climb onto the RIB. After about 5 minutes we arrive at the dive site, Ponta Restinga, we kit up, are briefed and then fall into the water. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the diving after being used to the Red Sea but I was really pleasantly surprised.” |

Mike Ward liveaboard diary“There’s a small cave system within the reef and some stunning pillars of rock and coral on the tip of the reef but the most incredible sight of all is a rock in just 6m of water that is covered in anemones and anemone fish. The anemones are half closed to show their brilliant red outsides and the anemone fish swim around in house-proud profusion to make sure you notice.” |

Lydias Thailand Diary“Leopard sharks are common on the ridge and on the sandy flats below the wall. Although the soft corals are not as high-profile as they are in the Similans, the colours of the corals are radically different and include shades of turquoise, yellow and blue, besides the more common pinks and purples. Koh Bon is one of the better places to see manta rays, especially towards the end of the season when there is more plankton in the water.” |

Sharmins Eco-Village Diary“Having recharged my batteries after half an hour, I'm once again ready to face the world, or should I say desert. Word soon goes around that a huge feast has been prepared over the course of the day for all seventy odd guests to begin the New Year celebrations. And lo behold, there laid before us in the restaurant is the most spectacular banquet I have ever seen, served up by the most impeccable staff.” |

Carrie’s Malta & Gozo Diary“On exiting the tunnel there is a maze of boulders with all sorts of nooks and crannies to explore. Here I found more octopus and starfish of varying sizes and colours. This was a great dive as although the maximum depth is at about 50 metres, there is still so much to see at just 15-20 metres that it suits all levels of diver.”
