Hi all, With a hurriedly booked trip, we are landing in Palau in a couple of weeks time, wife, self and young child As the little one is far too young to dive (and will be with a child minder whilst we dive) - we want to try and arrange it so that we can dive either just in the mornings or...

I have used a G15 for a year or so, but ever since first use I feel many shots are 'over exposed'. If I take a photo on land, when set in 'Auto' looking at Blue Sky, the Sky will commonly appear "White" - and underwater with flash or strobe, many results are over exposed. Anyone have same...

Hi all, I remember reading ages ago of someone offering to set up a car transfer service to get from Manila to Anilao (and back) - is there such a reliable service ? Resorts offer a pick up and return for around Peso 4000 each way (for van) - so is there a cheaper way, or anyone offering the...

Out of the blue with work, I've suddenly landed in Manila and might be here 5 years. Contacted a couple of housing agents (normally robbers/criminals), but just wondering if any of the diving people happen to have a decent 2 or 3 bed house or apartment in Makati area that they fancy leasing to...

After all the effort a few years back to this "Taiwan" corner of the forum opened - looks like someone swiched off the lights on the diving scene in Taiwan ? .... No new posts in here for months ?

Philippines had been our regular destination for dive holidays for a few years, with last trip report posted here - http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/philippine-paradise-divers/466250-leyte-sogod-bay-some-words-pics-may-june-2013-a.html - but moving to Australia in 2012 and with the lack of dive...

Guys and Gals, We have all seen the devastation parts of the Philippines have encountered and they need help. Many of us divers have been to Malapascua, and many of us can donate a $ or two to help get the lives back in order over there - please check the link below, and please donate a $ or...

Slow the time down … Where does it all go ? Last trip report I put on here was from Bohol, Feb 2012 http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/philippine-paradise-divers/418871-bohol-panglao-some-words-pics-end-feb-2012-a.html. We visited there again in May 2012, stayed the same place, did my...

Hi Last minute thing, but landing Fiji early September, and haven't a clue which area to head :D. We will land at the Intl and don't really fancy getting a domestic flight so we are thinking road from the airport. Although we are not after an out and out dive holiday, both missus and I...

Hi All, Trying to cut down weight on dive gear (due to ever decreasing flight allowances) and so intend buying a lighter weight BCD than current Mares. Don't want a wing as prefer jacket style BCD - so has anyone and suggestions on "light weight" BCD's - ie: 2kg weight or less - good or bad...

Hi all, A while since I looked in the PHP forum as my regular escapes from Taiwan to visit the PHP resorts came to an end last year as I moved to Oz .. where diving the GBR is good, though costs an arm and a leg, and though GBR has 'bigger' life, I still find the colour and diversity of PHP...

Looking out the window now in Gladstone - torrential rain, remnants of a cyclone, and there I was planning a dive trip this weekend :( ... ahh well, guess I'll kill some time reading about diving instead of doing it, and sharing a few photos :D Went out for a couple of surprisingly good dives...

Hi, I've been diving using an Canon G11 & then G12 for a few years, strobes and what have you and pretty pleased with results, but on a recent dive a mate with an Itsy Bitsy little camera with no strobes climbed out the water with me, and on looking at his photos - WOW, amazing clarity, perfect...

Hi all, Moved to Gladstone recently with work, saw the signboards on the way up the highway proclaiming "Gladstone - the Gateway to the barrier reef" - and on first few days scoured google, maps, info centres and all over and totally amazed to find there isn't a single dive centre in...

Taiwan contacts - In case I didn't see any of the Taiwan divers before I left, look after Taiwan guys and girls - and get some posts going in here so I can see what's happening in the oceans there !! In in the last couple of years I've enjoyed some great diving there, North, East & South...

Isn't it a great little feeling when the creatures you are trying to get a pic of get into the perfect pose at the right moment :-) Returned at weekend from second trip this year to Bohol, and it still seemed to short !!

BOHOL Seems like ages since I wrote a “words and pics” dive trip report to bore the socks off people who would rather be diving, but are away from the water like me right now - and if I don’t put something down soon the trip I made at end of February to Bohol, will disappear into the memory...

Oh to live closer to Kenting ! Some pics from my Kenting dives March / April 2012 - nothing spectacular, missed pics of the huge ray, and blue spotted rays, but a great variation of life to be found, water at 27 C and viz like glass on some dives. Will Keep...

:D Glad to say, the summers coming and Longdong Bay on N/E coast is now comfortably diveable. Took a quick dive last Friday 20 April late afternoon, Viz not too clever, but water creeping up in temperature to 24 C now - I saw a few of the old friends in the fish life, but only problem was that...

Anyone in this forum diving in Qatar ? I'm currently contemplating a move over there to be based in Doha - and trying to find a few expat contacts there that dive, and who can point me in the right direction for dive ops working in Qatar Any info appreciated Cheers
