Beautiful Sea Quotes

If we don't get a chance to dive, we can at least dream of the dives we've made, and of course of the ocean itself! There's something magical about the sea that allows me to immediately inundate myself with a sense of tranquility, even when I think about it.

No dive trip in the Sea of Cortez is complete without a visit to one of its many sea lion rookeries.

Diving condition in Turk and Caicos Island

Lembeh Straits

I’d been hearing about Lembeh for weeks...

Everyone I was with was so jazzed to go back to this special place where they saw these incredible creatures. My close friends and most trusted dive advisors had been raving about how much I’d love it. So when we pulled into the marina, I was more than a little curious about this whole situation.

Komodo National Park is a very arid micro climate that lies in the tropics, which is why it is the only place you can find Komodo Dragons, as their natural habitat is the low lying dry grasslands only found in that region, compared to everywhere else in Indonesia. The conditions in Komodo tend to be much better than that of the areas around it, as the high volcanoes of the surrounding islands of Flores and Sumbawa take up much of the rain during the ’wet season’.

I personally stayed in India for a while and been diving in Goa (west coast), Pondicherry (east coast), as well as the well known beautiful Andaman's islands. Honestly, i don't recommend liveaboard divers to dive in India, even in the Andman's Island.

On the mainland of India, there is not yet liveaboard trips that can be offered. There is only one liveaboard called M/V Infiniti offering long a week liveaboard trips around the Andaman's Island.

The secret life of turtles

For new divers, turtles are frequently the star of the show.

They are slow moving, easy to observe, and passive when encountered. And, they are just plain cute! Sadly, Six of the seven known species of sea turtles are threatened, or in decline due to pollution, habitat loss, overfishing, and changing ocean conditions. Worldwide efforts to protect these threatened marine reptiles are increasing, and in some areas turtles are making a slow comeback.

Raja Ampat is located off the western tip of what is known as the bird’s head peninsula in northern Papua (also known as Irian Jaya – the Indonesian half of the island of New Guinea), the most eastern province of Indonesia.

General Advice for Liveaboard Trips

As our team are all professional divers and we've all dived with different liveaboards in different destinations around the world. Since we started "Dive and Cruise" in 2009, we always try our best to give our divers honest advices from our own experience.

Here we will share some general advices for divers who wants to go for a diving liveaboard trip.

Sandy bottoms and life off the reef

When I was a newer diver, I was afraid to leave the reef and swim out into the sand beyond.

Throughout my dives, I would swim right along the edge of the coral and look out into the blue. It was ominous, almost like a desert. I wasn't sure how to navigate once I left the familiar natural features of coral and rock. And, I didn't know what to expect out there! What creatures would I find, and would I find any at all? Might I waste an entire dive just looking at the bottom?
