hello everyone, im a first time diver, new-born to the diving world. joining in by Ms. iDiveChick/Sarah's invitation. just wanna share some pics too from my very first dive, in Coco Beach, Puerto Galera, Philippines - the place was just sweet, amazing dive too... =)
comments and suggestions from the master divers/underwater photographers are very much appreciated!
Welcome to scubamagazine!
My first diving expierence was in Boracay, 2002. I got my PADI OW from Aquarius divers. It took me three years to get my wife to put her head under. She took her lessons locally, (Chicago area) and endorsed her OW dive through Action Divers, Puerto Galera. We are now spending one weekend a month, for the summer, diving locally, mostley Quarry diving. The water is not as clear as PG, or as warm, but it is diving.
We are making plans for 2008 end of Jan. or Feb. to visit family and dive. We haven't decided on Bohol, Dumagete, Donsol, or returnig to Puerto Galera. We will go to at least two of these places, but only have three weeks. So much to see and do, so little time!
Maybe we can get together when we are there.

Thanks John and Needa! Well, choosing between Bohol, Donsol, Dumaguete and Puerto galera is pretty tough, as each of them offer differing experiences. I, personally would love to try Donsol next, famous for the very gentle giants, the "Butandings" or whale sharks. Puerto Galera on the other hand is much more of a coral/critter-rich diving experience. I bet its really hard to decide which of these amazing places to go to!
Hope your plans of visiting push through, and yeah who knows we might get together, see you there! Cheers!
