  • What’s that I hear……

    Diving with a Little Mambo No. 5: Scuba Laughs Below the Waves There you are, submerged in the deep blue, with “Mambo No. 5” playing on repeat in your head. Let’s be honest, nothing sets the mood for diving quite like a catchy tune—unless that tune is your buddy shouting, “Where’s my other fin?” A…

  • Manta Madness: A Non-Dive to Remember

    Hello bubble-blowers! So, the night before, we were all set to swim with the mantas. We hit the water, and what do we find? One lonely manta, gliding around like it was waiting for a Tinder date! “Hello, is it me you’re looking for?” But this morning? Manta rave central! They were everywhere, flapping their…

  • Day 2 of Diving the Maldives – 12 Jan 2025

    Ahoy, sea creatures! 🌊 I know, I know, I know… my blog posts have been as rare as finding a mermaid’s Wi-Fi password! Our boat is about as connected as a clam at a tech fair! Trying to use data underwater? Pfft! That’s like trying to teach a fish to juggle! 😂🐟 But the diving?…

  • Seattle to Maldives

    Starting at SEA Airport, which is currently undergoing a transformation that makes a caterpillar’s metamorphosis look like a quick trip to the grocery store, we checked in with one of the most pleasant Alaska Airline gate agents—Jaz. Picture this: a beacon of positivity amid the chaos, with a smile so bright it could outshine all…

  • T-2 to Maldives

    Ok-it’s time to get serious.  It is Monday, January 6th at 9:25 pm. Thought I would test the “blog” to see if it works!    This is going to be an epic dive trip!  I’m going to try and keep everyone updated! This should be easier then the Philippines trip.  Need to “hit the hay”!…

  • Bittersweet!!

    Today is a bittersweet day! We’re done diving, done packing and sad to leave this wonderful place. And we’re happy to go home. I discovered a lot! Let’s start with blogging…. I need to do better at it. It was very hard to come back at the end of each day and report about all…

  • More diving!!

    Should have been posted (September 21st, 2023), sorry if it is a dup. So, it has been a few days since posting…..( I almost feel like I’m going to confession… that is for all you Catholics out there… Hahaha). Anyway, let me tell you about how much diving we do. Get up early (5 am)…

  • Travel to Resort/Liveaboard and First Dive Day!

    I don’t even know where to start…the travel to the boat from the Philippine Domestic Flight to the resort and livabord was, to say the least, VERY interesting. Let’s start with the flight….so we went back to the Manila airport with 14 people in tow. Finally we all got checked in at the ticket counter.…

  • Flying from Manila to the Island of Cebu

    So it is 91 degrees with 78% humidity. We got on the plane and I’m assuming to keep it cool there is a misting feature.

  • Made it to Manila

    Good morning or good evening. Hmmm not sure what time it is where you are. Quick update about the transfer from Tokyo to Manila. Jamie left his cell phone on the plane…. I know, this is something you would expect from me, but NOPE, it was him. We had an hour-and-a-half layover, “thank you sweet…
