So the alert level has gone from condition 3 to condition 4. There is an extreme danger to residents within the volcanoes eruption zone. Manila Ninoy Aquino International airport is closed. Ashfall and eruption preventing the safe operation of aircraft.
There is a push for environmental restrictions which center around sewage waste containment. This article passed to me from a friend who lives there......
DOT warns tourism outlets in Puerto Galera of closure if not accredited
So lung squeeze (PBT) is not an uncommon event with deep freedives. However I personally didn't realize that it could occur with shallow dives. So in my case while making laps around a cold swimming pool (59F) and diving to 12ft./4meters with each lap I experienced it.
After about 1/3 kilometer...
So for those in the know. Is there really any difference in the physiology of clearing ears, as it pertains to either skill ie: Scuba and Freediving?
It seems obvious that there wouldn't be. But maybe there is something I'm not aware of.

And particularly what difference if any at depths...
Wow! Don't know why this story wasn't front and center. Apparently it's expected to hit northeast Luzon. That's terrible!
Hoping for the best outcome. Of lesser importance but still important to divers is if this will prevent air travel to the Philippines for those flying in/out of Manila.
So while there are recommendations to get vaccinated for various diseases to travel from the U.S. to the Philippines. Are there "requirements" for any vaccinations to travel to the Philippines.
What say you?
So I will be posting video from Puerto Galera, using my Yi4K camera. This is supposed to be a working video hosting site.
If you could try to view the video and let me know if it's working that would be appreciated. :)

So I'll be in PG from Oct.17 to Oct.30. Already booked Scandi Divers.
Tomorrow I book the flight. My cost for 13 days at the resort plus roundtrip airfare from SFO is $1400.00
That's bargain basement. Of course there are other expenses too.
I should have passport in hand well before.
It's...
I'm getting choppy video using my Yi4K and converting MP4 to WMV.using the free version of Wondershare. I am new to this process.
Would prefer to have a user friendly experience. I'm paired with my Samsung smartphone OK, but I'm hoping for any "easy" solution to creating my underwater shots...
I'm looking for an action camera. I've considered the Y1 4K but one review made it appear unstable. What is a good value camera that won't freeze or have firmware issues. Of course the Hero 6 would be great but something similar for less.
Not a budget camera. More in the midrange of prices. Thanks
My thinking on the subject is that these certifications are not only overlapping in areas, but they should be hand and glove.
Remove some of the risk associated with altitude diving.
@Scandi Divers Kris, I'm wondering if I can make loose reservations about mid September for an early October visit.
I won't have passport in hand for awhile. I'll be waiting at least 4 weeks for it to arrive from todays date.
And if it doesn't arrive by then, I'll need to reschedule for a mid...
