The instructor created a FaceBook post on November 11th saying she was out of the hospital [don't know what for], cannot comment on the incident [nevermind that she DID make multiple social media comments], and prayers for the family who lost a loved one. ON THAT SAME DAY, she posted a joke...

Sam, just curious: Were they spearfishing or anything similar when they were taken by GWS? Bill

The news article got the participant's names wrong. The two yakers were Danny McDaniel (whose yak got bitten) and Jon Chambers, not moi (Bill Powers). I was on shore back at Emerald Bay and did a quick video interview of them both upon their arrival at the beach: The two were on a 60-member...

No. MANY of the weights were quite new,

Between the two dives on the Palawan... and with contributions from some of the other divers... I collected 30-35 pounds of fishing weights. That wreck gets fished ALOT. Hard to believe there's ANY fish left on it, but there they were. 50+ feet of vis on the Palawan. I count that as a "win"...

San Diego diving, buddies, et al is found here: www.powerscuba.org

Tried contacting Boardwalk Dive Center via their listed email addy on FB and it comes back as non-operation address. Also, their website does not come up any more. Did they go defunct? I'll be in Subic on Nov 22 and was looking for a good dive shop. Bill
