Dear PPD peeps,
Further to the great DOR IV (that I couldn't get to :sad, I am trying to gauge interest in a Mike Veitch Underwater Photography Workshop for this August (dates to be confirmed).
In return for transport and board, Mike has kindly agreed to come over to Anilao / PG, or a mixture of the two for a week, but as a result of transport from Yap, he can only get to PI on a Wednesday lunch, and will have to be back up in Manila for the following Tuesday night...
Accordingly, there will be two courses available: -
Thursday AM to Sunday PM (4 days) and Thursday AM to Tuesday midday (5 1/2 days)
Based on 1 person (me) doing the 5 1/2 day course and 5 people doing the 4 day course, the cost for Mike V's course will be $450 for the 5 1/2 days and $270 for the 4 day course.
If someone else wants to do the full course, or if we get 8, in total, the figures will drop.
The current suggestion is to limit numbers to 6, but this may be extended to 8 depending on interest (no more than 8, in any event).
These figures do not include for board, dives or food, but staying at Sunsplash and renting tanks only (not a DM) and a boat will bring down costs, and Anilao can also be an option, or even Anilao / PG combo.
Firstly, who's interested, we can thrash out the details in due course. If it comes to it, this will be settled on first come first served
I need a local PPD to volunteer to contact PG / Anilao when we know if this is going to work and try to get us good accommodation deals etc.
I will try to see about the tank / boat rental, unless anyone has the contacts to help me out...:blinking:
There will - of course - be a full PPD DOR piss-up on the Saturday night (location to be decided) to which all are invited
