No need to mention that this is all about diving, right? If you’re not planning a dive trip with children, information below will probably be useless for you. But you’re welcome to read if you want to :)

Kapalai Resort – Malaysia
This resort is great for a romantic getaway, however I wouldn’t recommend to go with young children. It is completely built on a coral reef, so there is no beach. Children have to run around and play and this resort is not suitable for this kind of activity. I think it’s very likely that young children can fall into the sea, especially around...

The older and more independent children become, the easier it gets to go on a dive trip with them. Even long flights can be fun as being on a plane itself is a great adventure for most kids. My children love travelling and they love staying at hotels. When they are old enough to snorkel with you, it gets so much fun that you’ll be tempted to skip dives just to snorkel with them.
I’m always well prepared for long flights and hotel time when mummy and daddy are diving. I take plenty of coloring pages, crayons, modeling dough, their favorite books and films and plenty of sand toys. My children...

I think the most convenient period to travel with infants is, when they can’t walk yet and they’re still on breast milk. As long as the baby is with you and you have enough nappies, there isn’t much to worry about. If you need to leave them behind to a caretaker for a few hours, just take a pump and leave some milk in the fridge to be given in case the baby is hungry. If you’re on a boat, a cold bag and some ice packs would do.

The incident in which a shark bit a research diver on the South Coast yesterday has been described as a terrible freak accident by the company that took the man out to sea.
22-year-old Paolo Stanchi, from the US, suffered critical injuries after a three metre dusky shark bit him while he was diving at Aliwal Shoal.
The owner of Blue Wilderness Dive Expeditions, Mark Addison, says he believes...

It shouldn’t be a surprise to you now that we were at Barracuda Point again on our third day at Sipadan. We actually made two of the three dives to the same spot.
When we passed that favorite corner of ours at 15 meters and slowly ascend through the valley, we saw lots of turtles gathered around a pinnacle. At first sight, we thought that this was the red light district for turtles. I even felt sorry for one of the guys that got kicked out by three other turtles. We were waiting for some action, but apparently that was a spa rather than a red light zone.
It was a cleaning station and the turtles...
