hello from japan

[hyaku]

Hello there. I am down in Kyushu. I sometimes dive in Amakusa. But mostly over in the Philippines. Adding together the price of airline ticket, accomodation and diving over a week it works out cheaper by far.

Pics are on this site.

Yoroshiku...you have some wonderful photos.

I split you message into this new thread. The thread you responded to was over 2 years old and obsolete.

Dee - Yoroshiku is a word used when introducing yourself or to convey one's best wishes! Sorry made me laugh

Dear Jonathon and Yoroshiku,

I wonder if you could help me with a question on Japan and photography - is there an active second hand U/W photography gear market in Japan? If so any access to it through the net or would I have to fly over.

I ask because it seems that Japan seems to have a very active manufacturing and sales industry regards UW photography and waht seems to be a massive amount of uw photgraphers (i.e. looking at uw photo books in Japanese and Marine Photo mag).



Cheers!

there maybe one in Japanese but my Japanese is not up to deciphering Japanese web sites - I am better off with "Clanger"

hyaku,

Welcome to the ScubaBoard! Hope you find it as fun as I do!! I live and dive in Japan. I enjoy Hayama most of the time, but like to go to Izu where the water is better for looking at things.

Hi Hyaku,

I read what you you wrote about personal safety in the Philippines. Very well said. Security here in our country is not as bad as it seems. I work for a local newspaper and I always tell foreigners who visit this country that Mindanao is not the entire Philippines. You will hear about bombing incidents every now and then but it's mostly concentrated in the south. Even then, many are isolated incidents.

Diving here in the Philippines is great. If you've seen the TV ad promoting Philippine tourism, they're not kidding when they say that what this country has to offer is "more than the usual." And you can dive all year round. If you're considering coming here, I suggest you take the liveaboard trip to Tubbataha (March to May) in the Sulu Sea. You will love it.

Regards,
