Just wanted to say hello. I'm new to the board and i'm planning to go scuba diving in the Philippines very soon. The board is full of resources ... it's amazing.
Anyway I might meet some of you there ...

hi greg!
welcome to the PPD... yeah it's chock full of useful information, and also a lot of stuff you didn't think you'd need (and even more you know you don't need... add to that the more stuff you didn't even want to need but are now accessible to you...)
anyway... tell us what you need and we'll help you with your trip...
New member here from the US but I'm a Filipino. Little introduction about me, I have been certified for a little over two years now but I haven't dived that much. I think I've done it about four times then I stopped. Anyways, I'm looking forward to do it again!
Looking forward to meeting some of you when I go back to Batangas, Philippines.
Just wanted to step in and say hi, I'm heading to Cebu in two months, with no plans of going back again. Going to do a few months of freediving first and then try my luck at being a Divemaster and then see if I can get my IDC sorted.
As mentioned above, this board is truly an amazing source of information and it would be amazing to get you all a bit better in the future...
With best wishes of great visibility to you all!

Hi Andy, I am sure you will have some great diving and great visibility as well in the Philiipines. There are many choices for your Divemaster and IDC. Check out www.asiadivers.com/idap/ and you may want to head on up to Puerto Galera for your Divemaster course and/or IDC.
@chip104: Thanks man. Yeah i hope it holds up. We were supposed to have the checkout dive before the end of august but the instructors encouraged us to have one more pool session to polish our underwater skills. Im reaaly really excited to be in openwater. Ive had enough of concrete and tiles. lol
