DIVE HAPPY

Here's links to some of the most interesting scuba diving related stuff I've found recently

• Indonesian Octopus Loves Kinky Sex - if that headline doesn't get your attention, nothing will
• Diving While Travelling - a thoughtful article on why learning to dive when you go travelling makes your trip much more enjoyable, plus an outline of what to expect. Worth forwarding to anyone you know who's been interested in learning to dive but has yet to take the plunge.
• World's Best Dive Sites - As if to whet your appetite to learn to dive, this is a great photo-led collection of some of the best dive spots in the world. Asia features heavily, which is only right and proper.
• I just updated my Raja Ampat trip report with a link to Michael Aw's amazing Raja Ampat photo collection - he visited Raja on the MSY Seahorse a couple of weeks after I was there and got some spectacular pix.
• Finally, if you are looking to get advice on what liveaboard to go on in pretty much any part of the world, I can heartily recommend you contact Dominick Macan -- email Dom [at] diveadvice.com -- and he will be able to help you out with a bunch of choices specifically tailored to what you want.
