Thanks everyone...I agree about diving in the Philippines....everywhere there everyone is so welcoming.

Sandra, I was there 7 months ago in February. Eddhind, I agree about the shirts, I know how income is so crucial to some people. Clothes in the Philippines are cheap to buy for Americans and Europeans, so it is convenient to not bring many and just buy them there and it helps the locals.

When I was in Malapascua the local vendor guy did not have the shirt size I wanted, 3 hours later he shows up with it, the silk screen ink still smelled fresh! Someone in that tiny village had a silk screen!
