Luxury Destination: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur, or KL as everyone including the locals call it, has often been seen as just a stopover or plane change on the way to the real beach action of Langkawi or Penang or over to Borneo to check out the Orangutans, primitive tribes and scuba diving. (...)

Veterinarian reaches into shark's throat to remove hook it swallowed

Filed under: Scuba Diving, AustraliaIt's good to know people don't always torture sharks and sharks don't always torture people. Sometimes, we even help each other out. David Blyde, a veterinarian in Australia, was willing to plunge his arm up to his shoulder into the throat of a 10-foot nurse shark to save the animal after it swallowed a large hook. It was stuck in the animal's digestive tract, leaving a long metal handle sticking from its mouth, AP reports. The gray nurse shark is apparently o...

The Roof and the Root

Why There were two reasons that I was in Africa. The first one was that the mountain is there. I contend that every good journey involves a mountain high enough that it keeps a piece of you with it after you think you've gotten off. On top of the mountain is a doomed glacier of storied beauty that I needed to see before it melted into just a "once upon a time" memory described in a book or by an old man. The second reason I had long desired to come here was that my mother was born in East Africa...

Belize it or not: Diving the Blue Hole

Filed under: Scuba Diving, Belize Greetings from Belize. Yesterday, I made one of my life-long dreams come true. I dove the Great Blue Hole, a submarine cave about 45 miles off the coast of Belize.

Some video from our weekend dive on the Great Wall

Along with Sinoscuba impresario Steven "Commando" Schwankert, Imagethief hauled himself and approximately four tons of gear out to Xifenghu on Sunday to dive a sunken section of Great Wall. Xifenghu is a reservoir near Tangshan. It takes about three and a half hours to drive out to and, as we discovered, nearly six to return from when your drivers inexplicably decide to follow a route that is technically shorter as the crow flies but that swaps an immense expressway for narrow, windy mountain ro...

2008 Scuba Diving in the Red Sea

I just returned from a 1 week scuba diving safari on board the Emperor Infinity through the Northern part of the Red Sea. On Thursday, May 22nd, 20 folks from our local scuba diving club "Tauchertreff Mainz" met at Frankfurt airport around noon time to board a Condor flight to Hurghada, Egypt. It was dark already when we landed and right away we had been transfered to our boat, the M/Y Infinity, waiting for us in the Hurghada marina close to the Emperor diving center. After an initial boat brie...
