It’s Our Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! We have now been on our travelling, house sitting, exploring the world adventure for six full years. What a blast. This calls for a little reflection and round up of our activities to date. I am just focusing on our last year here. If you haven’t been following us or you just want…

Diving Vanuatu
During our short stay in Vanuatu we chose to go scuba diving on four of the eight days we were there. Our non-diving perspective is here. It was an excellent decision. After Karen had researched Trip Advisor for information on the dive companies available we went with Big Blue Vanuatu. We did eight different dive…

Wet Rocks
Sinkhole diving was an unexpected find for us. While doing a house sit in Adelaide we were chatting with the home owner and he mentioned that he had grown up in the Mount Gambier region and had explored sinkholes when he was younger. He told us of some of the sites and lo and behold,…

Diving New Zealand

West Bali National Park
We signed up for a 12 day diving tour around Bali with Blue Season Bali. All I can say is they set the bar very high with our first accommodation at The Menjangan. It is an eco jungle resort that is way above the normal pay scale we would sign up for. But what a…

Diving Koh Samui, Thailand
We did a couple of days of diving while we were in Koh Samui. We had delayed our Thai diving experience until we got here because of its’ proximity to Koh Tao. We had heard the diving there was excellent. Our first day of diving was to a site called Sail Rock. Because it is…

Perhentian Islands, Malaysia
The reason we travelled to the Perhentian Islands was for diving. During our time on Langkawi Island whenever we mentioned to someone we were looking for a place to possibly go diving, everyone suggested the Perhentian Islands. The embarrassing part for me is I had never heard of them. But after some frantic internet education…
