I'll start.....I'd love to see either a liveaboard or resort-based trip diving the Cayman Islands, in May, June, July or August.
make sure that it includes some far northwest tip and east end of GCM. Hopefully i can dive by then.

Probably will not do the Carib next year but most anywhere in the indo pacific would be of interest.

I am still looking at the Truk Palau trip but the airfare to do both is going to be very expensive so I am also looking at Komodo. Would love to have SD do a liveaboard there.

What I am finding from here is that RT to Truk is $1700 ($400 more than when it went on sale back in May), but to add on Palau adds $400 more to $2100 RT on Continental.

I'll second that...I was just checking out the Aggressor website last week looking at the Cayman Islands itinerary and hoping someone would put together a group trip for this liveaboard in 2011.I'll start.....I'd love to see either a liveaboard or resort-based trip diving the Cayman Islands, in May, June, July or August.

Here's one to Manado-Lembeh this November http://www.singlediv...showtopic=20615I am still looking at the Truk Palau trip but the airfare to do both is going to be very expensive so I am also looking at Komodo. Would love to have SD do a liveaboard there.

I've been looking at liveaboards to various areas of the Indonesian coral triangle for almost three years [a year prior to the Oct 2008 SD Wakatobi trip]. Whenever I've been able to check space availability, I find 'full boat charters' prevail, making individual space limited. Some of the liveaboards open their bookings 2 years in advance, which means decisions need to made and deposits paid far in advance. Currently, I'm in the preliminary planning stage for a trip to a Raja Ampat resort and a liveaboard component for October 2013.

I'll second that - I did my first ocean dive on eagle ray pass in Grand Cayman and would like to go back.

Sea of Cortez or down at Land's End, Mexico.---never been
Grand Turk---never been
Saba---never been
I would repeat to below.
Turk & Cacois
Utilla only if easy access to downtown.
Grenada
Roatan---west end
Grand Cayman only if at DiveTech, (CCR &Tec) resort for darkside divers, or possible Little Cayman (never been), down side IMO Cayman Is. very expensive.
Doing a solo to Tobago in Nov., I will report back.

If I had known about the Lembeh trip prior to T&C I would probably have gone for it but this year is booked up. I have a space hold on a Liveaboard out of Bali to Komodo next June if nothing else comes up.

I have not been able to find a connection to Palau from truk for anywhere near $400. The best fare I can come up with at this point from the west coast is over $3200.
