Favorite Remote Island???

8 posts
  1. Hi All,

    Could use some suggestions for a series/ Blu-Ray set I'm doing on remote islands. Not too remote though, need the essentials like air and electricity. In each 50 min episode, 30 min will be underwater footage and 20 min will be on land. Definitely looking for some point of differentiation to feature in each episode, and because it is primarily an underwater series, that point should be marine in nature. It would be great to give a little marketing help to some folks who could use it, but don't give away any secrets that you don't want broadcast! Oh yeah, not just tropical either.

    Can't do it all myself, accepting reels.

    Thanks!

    You can't stay on the island - no accomodations, but Coco Island, Costa Rica, woud fit. Take a liveaboard.

     

    The other Coco Island (Coco-Keeling) off Australia. You can stay there.

     

    The islands in the Federation of Micronesia.

     

    The Seychelles.

     

    The Maldives.

     

    The list goes on...

  3. Can't really do live aboard or on scheduled dive tours (bubbles, strobes, visability, time, etc...) because the flexibility isn't there. I'll need to charter. The Australian Coccos sounds interesting, Thanks. Ahnt Atoll, off Pohnepei in FSM, is definitely in the running. The length of the list is the hard part.

    How about Christmas Island? You can get there by taking the once a week flight from Hawaii. The diving is good. For topside, you could focus on the fishermen that come there from all over the world to fish.

  5. If you're looking at Cocos (Keeling) Islands you might as well do Christmas Island (the one in the Indian Ocean) as well. The same flight from Perth in Western Australia stops at both on a circular route. Here's a couple of links:

  6. Guning Api, snake island. Hard to get to probably, unless a liveaboard happens to go.

  7. Thanks guys! Red crabs of Christmas Island sound cool. How's the diving? Anything noteworthy in the water?

  8. There are actually two islands named "Christmas Island". Here's a link to the scuba diving on the Christmas Island (otherwise known as Kiribati) I was referring to:

    The other Christmas Island also sounds like a great destination.
