Pagasa, Spratly Islands

[World Wide Diver]

Have any members been here?

I am making arrangements and hope to go to Pagasa for a few weeks diving (will take compressor, etc).

I have heard conflicting reports - fabulous reefs, overfishing (blast/cyanide), etc (the usual).

However, I think that this area is relatively an unexplored place for divers.

I would very much like to hear from anyone who has been there.

I can't even imaging the logistics of something like that. Bringing scuba cylinders, a compressor, weights and all of the other gear needed along with your non scuba things. PLEASE let us know more about how you are going to do this and let us know how it works out.

Good luck

The logistics are a bit involved.

However, we have very good friends here who have contacts on Pagasa who can help.

As yet, there is no real dive tourism there, but there is a willingness to open up Pagasa to dive tourism. Some think that the diving there might be spectacular. Others say that there is a lot of overfishing.

This is why we want to go and see for ourselves.

We'll let you know more when arrangements have been firmed up.

wow, thats a very interesting project. Yes pls let us know the results.

If you discover a reef there, that could mean good business for you without competitors.......yet.

good luck!

WWD, sounds like a really interesting place although we're going to do Davao per you first!

Pleased that you are planning to dive Davao. Get in touch and let us know when. Happy to help you plan.

Think we're going to Pagasa in November. I'll post a trip report to let any interested divers know how we planned the trip and what we saw.
