[shugar]

That's the spirit...
These links are very helpfull.
After some reading i will post the trip plan. If you have any comments like "are you crazy? only 4 weeks for malapasqua ?!" I'll be happy to hear (or read).

ok: WHAT!?!?! only 4 weeks in the philippines for diving????

but but but you won't get to dive all the spots! (there's at least 300 mainstream dive spots locally and a couple hundred off-the-beaten-track ones...)

probably shiri is pitri's wifey?

Jag

Which might conceivably explain why Pitri redirected the thread away from prostitution and sleaze

[re. PG] the sleazy characters it attracts -- from lecherous reprobates to international terrorists.

Well, pakman's obviously the international terrorist. I checked my own diary and I can't find any entries for "launch missile attack on innocent civilians" or similar, so I guess I must be the lecherous reprobate to which you refer:mooner:

There will be a lot more PPD that will help but I'm going back in September for the third time this year. I'll be diving Puerto Galera and Anilao and one other spot that I have not decided on yet. They are mostly Macro spots but terrific dive areas.

I alwqays carry my own equipment.

I was there in May, just after the last Typhoon Caloy and there were power problems for a few days but the resorts all have back up generators.

Diving is very inexpensive, I'm usually on an unlimited dive plan but I think dives can be as cheap as $14 US.

The people of the Philippines are wonderful and I have felt very welcome and safe on every trip. The PPD will even dive with you depending where you decide to go. All great divers and fantastic people.

Some photos from my last trip are here... http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=147109
