I just have a large SAC naturally.....<snicker, lol>
OP
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the advice here. I just finished 5 great days of wreck diving in Coron with Gunther at Discovery Divers. I am in Puerto Princesa currently and heading to Cebu the day after tomorrow where I will definitely take up some of your recommendations.
On another note had a crazy day on Saturday. I was in a tiny Banca going from Coron to El Nido on Palawan, quite far out to sea when the weather turned seriously nasty and we were taking on water. No radio and no comms so we would have
been in real trouble if we went down. No one would have even known. Somehow made it back after 9 hours of madness. If we had lost the one and only engine bye bye time. not exactly fun but certainly an experience...

This reminds me of the boat Larry, Chip, Anton and myself got on when going from Leyte to Bohol. I remember seeing a big metal ship, and a small, tired looking Bangka. Guess which one we had to spend 4 hours in? Luckily, seas were flat as an ice rink.

OP
yeah flat seas...:cool2: (although rough seas are no problem in a capable boat). It turned out that all the other boats decided to stay in port that day, only our suicidal banca captain ventured out. The day before my voyage a boat went down in Coron and took 5 people with it. All part of the Philippines experience I suppose..
