So, I finished my Check Out Climb last night in full SCBA gear. A climb up to a second story window to perform Hydro Vent (Hydraulic Venting) and victim search followed by a 90' climb to a bucket (Tower) on top of a large commercial building's roof to deploy a roof ladder and to perform a...

Right now, New England is pretending to be fall. Days have been in the low 60's while the nights have been in the 40's. Damn it if I did not have to pull out a jacket and put a quilt on the bed!! Can't wait for those 80's and 90's degree days. If I complain about how hot it is in the...

The good news is diving is great for strengthening those muscles. I believe the answer to your question is yes - but if not, you should have enough new friends to help you out.

Or eating! We have to keep our strength up for climbing back into the boats.

Hello, I have been researching on the airport fees/taxes and found the following information from 2 websites (sited below): Travel Tax only applies to the Philippinos, Permanent residents, or Foriegn visitors staying for 1 year. We don't have to pay a travel tax. Airport Terminal fees are...

Thank you. I went up to that website and played around a bit and found the following information: The following common items are classified as prohibited items and are not allowed to be brought into the Philippines: Onions, potatoes, garlic and cabbages Coffee Used clothing and rags Toy...

Here is a new question: When I went to Zambia last year, I had to have a prescription for OTC Benadryl. It was considered to be a controlled substance. Is there any US OTC medication that is considered to be a controlled substance in the Philippines?

Thank goodness I am not the only one who won't be finished packing by this weekend. I have started laying things out on the spare bed and checking items off a check list. :clapping: My husband and I will be diving on Nitrox for both weeks. I find that I have more energy. :bounce:

I am really enjoying these videos. As I am watching them, I am wondering how many of these creatures will be on our scavenger hunt. Is anyone else feeling the "ANTICIPATION"?

Or very late - depending on your jet lag. :tired:

True. That is one reason why I started to re-read all the postings - to make sure I did not miss or forget something. Another reason: to watch all the videos I missed. :-)

Boy, I thought I was late getting started last night - organizing my dive gear and paperwork. To answer your question, I recommend going to "Packing, Travel and Diving Tips for the SB Invasion to the Philippines" thread. There is a list of all documentation you will need listed in the very...

Flame File Clam - that is my type of critter!

I am happy with my boat mates. I am with some friends and I will be meeting some new friends. Just about right!

Yes, mother. (Sorry, I just had to say it. Please take this in jest - Dubi.)

:cheers: - you need some beer to go with your popcorn. :coke:- or a coke if you are going diving.:snorkel:

Roxanne, Just to be fair, this is a duplicate vote. I had voted for RobotFish on Feb 3. My husband is slowly catching up with the world outside FIRST Robotics.

I recently went to FL for a refresher dive. South Florida Diving Headquarters is located just north of Miami at Hillsboro Inlet. While the dive operation was great - we ended up doing a drift dive - which I was not expecting. (Very rough waters). I would not recommend diving in the currents...

You can't say that until we are under 100 days! I am waiting for that magic 99 bottles, uh, days to go.
