Alright, where did you pick up the Tagolog? I spent two years there, but never picked more than the basic "getting by" vocabulary.

Mabuhay :)

Natutuwa akong malaman na may topic sa forum na ito na naka focus sa Pilipinas. Siguro, panahon na din para malaman ng buong mundo kung gano kaganda ang diving sa ating bansa. :)

Anyways, kung may tanong kayo anything related sa diving sa Pinas, i post niyo lang dito. I'm sure, marami tutulong sa inyo :cool:

hi

gusto lang po mag tanong kung meron bang organisasion nang mga Pinoy scuba divers around Manila. And if so, where do they hang out... I would like to meet them. Im an American that is born and raised in the Philippines and I have been away for a long time. Im slowly making my way back sa Pinas. Im a PADI Certified Rescue Diver and I enjoyed diving sa Mindoro. Im gonna be retiring soon from my job here in the US and I want to go back in the Philippines. Im gonna be leaving US law enforcement and Im hoping to apply and use what I have learned in the US Army and the Police Department there in the Philippines. Anyway, Im hoping to make friends there again for I lost touch with my old frinds when I was in school there sa Pinas. Anyone that knows any groups please let me know... thanks

I don't know about any local divers' associations. BUT if you ever need buddies to go diving in Anilao, Galera, etc., you can always come with my group. We're inviting new people all the time and our DM's a really good guy (especially in a fix hehe). Just holler when you're already back in Pinas :)

hi mike!

there are a lot of pinoy dive groups here in the PI. one is Dive Republic. you are free to join our group. visit our website at www.diverep.com or PM diverep.

there is also a group called Scubarats (para sa mga BARAT or those who are in a tight budget). there is also Scubasoreros (they like to clean the the ocean/beach like basoreros/ garbage men)

i also found this group named SEALS? try searching it on yahoo groups. i tried to join that group but my request was rejected because i think my so called essay was too short in words or maybe they just dont like me...lolz :rolleyes: ohh well.... :D

anyway, why not join Lu Ann's group and my group... the more friends you have the better... :cool: masaya din sa group namin... down to earth...parang family...

Hi deep flight, about three years ago, several of us intrepid types tried to explore that area. Equipped with depth finders and a GPS device, we tried diving every possible place we could within three days. Unfortunately we also discovered that this was a place where spearfishing was encouraged! So no car sized groupers there anymore.

But if you're interested in mutant sized jellyfishes, i think thats the place to be. Hahahaha

Seriously, the terrain is different...lots of rocks and boulder formations, hardly any color, so shutter bugs looking for coral and pretty fishes might not enjoy so much.

I forgot the name of the house that we stayed in. Lemme get back to you on that. There are a couple of resorts there but they were only equipped with tiny compressors so waiting for the tanks to be filled was a b-tch. Good thing we were prepared so we had lots of extra tanks. I think we brought 45 tanks all in all.

It a good 1 1/2 hours away from Batangas city over rough roads. There seemed to be some road improvement being done way back then, but knowing how it is, i think its safe to assume that those improvements aren't finished up to now.

Hi to all

I'm coming over to the Phillippines at the beginning of August and I was just wondering if someone could suggest a few possible places to go spearfishing in Batangas - legally that is. Can anyone recommend a reasonable place to stay near to any suggestions.

Oh, if there anyone interested in meeting up for a dive?

Salamat po

07-10-2007, 09:50 AM
Talaga! What not even a small lapu lapu or milk fish? I'm not interested in spearing the giants just a few fish for food - and certainly not on protected corals. I've been to PI many times and I respect the protected eco systems and I recognise the damage that spearing has done. Oh, and I'm freediving and not using aqualungs.

Sa lahat ng diver, nature lover, nationalistic, at may kaunting malasakit sa kalikasan at beloved Philippines--

The Tubbataha Reef in Sulu Sea , Philippines was nominated for the new7wonders of the world, along with around a hundred other natural attractions across all continents. What's interesting to know is that nag-iisang entry lang yan ng Pilipinas. July last year lang ata nagsimula ang kampanyang ito at until 2009 pa, so enough chances to garner more votes. Pero sa ngayon way ahead na ang ibang countries like Nepal , Bangladesh , Japan , Vietnam , etc.

Di nga, maganda talaga ang Tubbataha. For me it's one of the few best places on earth. To see why Tubbataha is worth voting for, check the website at www.tubbatahareef.org.

Ito yung link para makaboto-- www.new7wonders.com. They will ask you to vote for 7 sites, sympre isa na dun ang Tubbataha sa iboboto nyo. Di rin pwedeng 7 votes agad for one site, or vote for only 1. So choose your wild na lang, but don't forget to click on Tubbataha Reef , Philippines .

Please do help in this campaign by sending the link to your friends and friends of your friends.
