clgsamson:yeah me too, never dived with a k diver yet
Well considering your track record of standing up overseas PPD'ers like Jim... not sure I want to dive with you Caloy...
j/k!!! Plus I'd probably steal your Inon W/A lens and take your macro lens so I can double mine...

that's vacation leaves you refering to.
you could use your sick leave..... so come on down here and then we'll have a doc give you a medical certificate that you could show for your sick leave. we'll talk to a diving doc and issue a medical certificate. .... your choice for the certificate : DCI, embolism, pneumothorax, probably chronic narcosis would do

That was my take on the diving as well. A decent amount of pelagics, but not a parade. White tips and turtles on the majority of dives. The occasional black tip and dog tooth tuna, as well as small schools of barracuda, jacks, trevally, etc. Highlights of my 20 dives were three mantas, one hammerhead (in the distance), a couple of big marble rays and a huge nurse shark. Those made the trip. Of all the dive sites, Black Rock had the most action by far. Visibility on my trip also ranged from around 40 to 80 feet. OK, but not spectacular. Reef tops were generally in poor condition (lots of coral bleaching, evidence of dynamite fishing, etc.). Walls were in good shape, though almost exclusively hard coral and not very colorful. Similar to diving in the Bahamas. Some of the walls were also heavily silted.
Overall, I still recommend Tubbataha as a dive site. I just don't think it lives up to all of the hype or the price some operators charge for the trip.
