After a long stretch with no logged dives for me, considering the pandemic that’s been putting the travel world on hold for the past 2 years and the fact that I don’t do cold water diving, it’s been a wonderful return to bubbles and coral! If you have read my previous post, you are aware that I was accompanying a friend in her discovery scuba experience. My friend was quite nervous about scuba diving for the very first time, and so I felt I had to pick a very good, not to say outstanding, diving club to help her feel safe and well guided. The good news is, I think I can say: mission accomplish ..read more

I’m so very happy to be writing these lines as I am sitting in an airplane, on my way to an exotic destination for the first time in more than two years. Needless to say that with the scuba diving and travel industries having considerably been slowing down in the past years, we followed the same beat at Divezone. So, after this somewhat involuntary hiatus, I’m very excited to write a blog post and get back in my blogger’s shoes. Blogging is my comfortable universe where I try to assemble words to form texts that make you travel and dream through your computer or phone screen. That said, please ..read more

In 2017 I made a life-changing decision to embark on an epic journey around South East Asia, in search of some of the world’s richest coral reefs. At the heart of my trip was Indonesia, where I spent the best part of two and a half years on an underwater adventure exploring Indonesia’s top dive sites. This inspired me to launch my own ocean jewelry collection which gives a portion of its profits back to coral reef conservation.
My expedition proved that this country truly is a scuba diver’s dream, but as a keen freediver and snorkeler, I also ..read more

Every scuba diver wishes to one day be the first person to blow bubbles on a new dive site, but the reality of it is that there are very few remaining places on our planet that we haven’t yet discovered. The Mergui Archipelago might very well be one of the last diamonds in the rough. This mysterious collection of 800 mostly uninhabited islands that span a space of over 36,000 square km off the western coastline of Myanmar, also known as Burma, is largely unmapped to this day. Inaccessible by land, the region was opened to tourism in 1997 but with ..read more

Since a lot of us are going to be quarantined in order to stop the propagation of the now sadly famous Coronavirus, we figured we can still travel from behind our screens! Of course, the situation is frustrating for many, having to cancel travel plans is never what we want, and is highly disappointing. Plus, it’s not like if we, humans of 2020, are used to such a pandemic situation that affects lots of countries.
So, choosing to see things on the positive side, we thought it could be great to share with Divezone readers a bunch of amazing scuba diving movies and documentaries. Let us know if y ..read more

In terms of pure aquatic life, Eilat isn’t going to be as diverse as somewhere like Indonesia or Thailand.
But don’t let that stop you from coming here.
Diving in Eilat was an incredible experience filled with thrilling dives and endless history. I came to Eilat with my cousin in August after visiting the other parts of Israel. July and August are the two hottest ( temperature hovers around 100°F or 38°C) and busiest months in Eilat so keep that in mind. In Eilat, you don’t sweat. It evaporates right off of you!
Interestingly enough, while it was extremely wa ..read more

Sometimes I get off my computer screen and right into the deep blue, and it was that time of the year a couple of weeks ago. Indeed, I flew to Hawaii for fun vacation time and took this opportunity to do plenty of scuba diving and snorkeling. I’ll talk about the latter in a different post, so let’s focus on scuba diving around Maui for now.
Of all the islands, I was told that Maui was one of the best islands to scuba dive in Hawaii. Is it true? I can’t tell since it’s the only one around which I dove. But, was it great? Yes, it was, and that’s why I’ll tell you about my short and sweet d ..read more
