I guess I could be considered a Philippine Paradise Diver even though I no longer live there. I visit often though and I've taken a liking to San Mig Light (sarap).

Dream Dive: Tubbataha Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu

Damn, I feel like a bloody advert for Oceanic. When I bought these, I was thinking to myself, what happens when I want to upgrade to a BP/W set-up, how am I going to justify the cost to the boss at home? Then it clicked, I can pass this on to my daughter or son when they turn 16 and do their OW certification.
i haven't checked out for almost a year now.
