Learn to Dive with Bluewater Travel

Indonesia is renowned for its incredible diving in the heart of the Coral Triangle and holds a high spot on most divers bucket lists. The sprawling archipelago boasts expansive coastline and prolific and varied marine life. While major islands such as Bali and Java are easy destinations to reach via air, some of the more remote areas can present travel challenges particularly with domestic flight bookings.

Over the past two decades, we have become accustomed to always having a camera on us in the form of a smartphone. So, it only makes sense that technology would develop to enable us to take these miniature supercomputers everywhere even underwater.

Solo dive travel has many benefits, including flexibility, independence, personal growth, and meeting new people. However, divers traveling solo often face a difficult choice: to pay a substantial single supplement or share their rooms/cabins with strangers. As seasoned divers with plenty of experience traveling solo, the experts at Bluewater Travel have put together a guide of liveaboards and dive resorts with single-friendly policies.

Domestic land and sea travel can be challenging and overwhelming, especially in a foreign country you aren't familiar with. It might seem scary to use public buses and ferries to reach your destination, and private transfers can be pricey. Tim took public transportation from Manila to Puerto Galera during a recent trip to the Philippines and documented the process to help you decide what transfer option is best for you.
