Mabuhay Leonard! Thanks for joining.

We would love for you guys to post all your Philippines dive and Island photos to show everyone where they need to plan their next dive trip to!

Looking at all the posts, they are all from somewhere way way out west.
So I guess diving the eastern sea board of the US isn't so exciting compared
to the blue waters out there.
I dove from Rhode Island to Central America to the northern tip of South America.
Having the second largest coral reef at my back door doesn't hurt either.
Mexico down towards South America. Mexico, Belize, Bahamas (Cay Sal Banks
is a nice spot, lots of sharks).
I'm a PADI DM starting my IDC, Adv. Nitrox, Trimix, rebreather and about a
gazillion other certs. Been diving since before I was born and still diving today.
It's my passion. It's nice coming to work and having people I don't even know ask me, where did you go diving this week?
If you're in the area, look me up. I'm always ready to go diving...

Hi Lars, our publisher dives a Vision equipped Inspiration. We'd love to get more rebreather guys here.

iDiveChick,

It would appear the forum is relatively new. I do not remember how I learned
of the scubamagazine website. When the word get around that it's available
perhaps we will see more posts from rebreather divers. I would love to get
a trip with rebreather divers together. See the different units, how they work
compared to each other, listen to the pro's and con's from users about their units.
Do some diving together. I'll start it off. Some of the dive buds are talking a tec
dive on the Oriskany this early summer. it would be tec only, meaning those who
use multiple bottles and those who use rebreathers and can manage their gas and
deco. The date has not been settled yet, but we have enough to charter a boat.
Perhaps an event sponsored by someone that can organize an event. That would
be sweet. Of course YOU would have to be there... No exceptions. In your wetsuit and diving
of course. Wouldn't be right without cha. :-) blushing...

I'll tell my rebreather friends about the site and hope they will add
their adventures for others to read.

Caio for now...

Lars

Lars, we're about 47 days old since we first opened the end of Decemeber.

The fact that we have this many members in such a short period of time is testament that I would make a killer candidate on "The Apprentice".



The publisher is doing an Maricaban/Anilao trip in 3 weeks from March 15th to the 24th.

Hello People!

[diverjun23]

hello to fellow divers -- filipinos and other nationalities!
looking forward to an exciting exchanges of dive stories and fun with you all.
i love diving the area of ligpo island and its pinnacles -- depending on the season, its either a slack dive or a nerve-wracking drift dive! woohooo! depths ranges from 90ft to 150ft... but there are shallow portions too.

Life is Good!

Mabuhay Jun!

Welcome...we've got plenty of Pinoys and Pinays here, and we're working on getting the word out even more.

Us westerners would all love to hear about your favorite dive resorts and locations in the Philippines.

[diverjun23]

will try my best to describe the sites i've gone through...
