hey RJ,

thanks for posting the pics last time you went to the PI. If not tubbataha, there's Bohol, Dumaguete, and Sogod Bay (for the whalesharks) that I recommend.

@Rhoody Good points. I like the way you are thnking about the situation.

@Rogersea and @Rhoody

Bouyancy? I usually dive with about 2 weights, and my bouyancy is about level. Or am I missing something, not fully understanding? Isn't my bouyancy something I can easily workout once in the water with my BC and weights?

Another question, what is it about Nitrox? Doesn't Nitrox just allow you to stay down longer and dive deeper?

Just a follow on to what Codman said.... being able to control/master your bouyancy not only makes your dive more enjoyable, less tiresome it also helps reduce the amount of coral you might crunch, or the likely hood that you will run into some possibly nasty bottom dwelling critter.... hey good luck on what ever you choose

and Codman had a great explanation of the benifits of EAN, I only use it if I am making many dives..

Cheers

If you will go to Davao then you should come along to General Santos City as its only a 3 hour bus ride away and we have very good diving here, much better thsan Davao!

So where do you all recommend staying in Bohol that is a mid range type of hotel/resort---with a dive outfit on the premises if possible?

Went diving with philippine fun divers (scuba diving bohol philippines) last october. Right beside them is the lost horizon resort. We stayed at harmony hotel though since lost horizon was full then. Its about 2 mins. walk to the beach. Rooms are big and clean.
