I would gladly live out of a suitcase, if it meant I could see the world!

Dear Dive Buddy,

Can you believe we're already nearing the halfway point of the year? Summer has officially kicked off, and while many travelers are already packing their bags for their next adventure, there's still time to take advantage of some incredible travel specials if you're putting the finishing touches on your plans.

And if your sights are set a little farther ahead, now is the perfect time to start dreaming about 2027. Planning early means more choices, more time to customize every detail, the convenience of spreading out payments, and months of anticipation for an unforgettable escape.

So here's a question: if someone handed you a plane ticket today, where in the world would you go? Whether it's diving with whale sharks, relaxing on a tropical beach, or exploring a destination you've always dreamed about, let's start planning now and turn that dream into your next great adventure.

Explore more...stress less...dive happy & blow those bubbles around the world!!

Warm regards, Liz

** Vacation alert: I'll be across the world in Egypt diving the Red Sea and exploring ancient ruins from July 6 to July 25 to recharge my travel lust and add to my chest of unforgettable memories. But there is still time to plan your vacation before and certainly after my adventure. Let's get to going! **

9 Airport Mistakes You Should NEVER Make (most travelers don't know)

Stop making the same airport mistakes that lead to confiscated items, missed flights, and unnecessary stress. In this video, we break down the most common airport mistakes travelers make in 2026, from confusing boarding time with departure time to leaving your belongings behind at TSA security. You will learn exactly how to avoid each one so your next trip starts smooth and stress-free.

You Paid for a Specific Seat on a Flight. The Airline Changed It. Now What?

Depending on how your seat was originally reserved, you may be entitled to a partial refund or a new seat.

By Dan Jakes, Frommers, 1 June 2026

As far as modern air travel grievances go, involuntary seat swaps and downgrades are more of an annoyance than a trip destroyer. You still get to your destination, more often than not in the same seat type, and most contracts of carriage make it clear that airlines are legally allowed some leeway with where you plant your bottom en route.

Still, it sucks to pay a double- or triple-digit premium to select a specific seat, only to see a completely different assignment on your actual boarding pass at the last minute.

Jim Elliott's Birthday Fundraiser

Hey - Jim's birthday was actually June 6th, but what the hay - I say why not celebrate birthday months rather than days!

So celebrate Diveheart Founder and President Jim Elliott's birthday by helping turn possibilities into realities through a donation of $25 or more in honor of Diveheart's 25th Anniversary.
