Help needed.... Emergency Assistance Plans

[Rhoody]

I would need some Emergency Assistance Plans of the different PI diving destinations for several publications, I do have already a nice collection, some need to be updated and many more are just not existing in my files.

Would be great if you guys could help me. of course I will post the whole collection here too when done.

PM me or if you already have one ready about your place, it would be great if you mail me the file to rhoody@dumagueteinfo.com

All help is appreciated
thanks in advanced

cheers

Rhoody, could u share with us what you have. Will help the rest of us and if we sport any changes, everyone benefits...

 

[Rhoody]

First of all thanks for the plans I received.
Black Red, I will post them as soon I am done with my courses (mid next week). I need to enter some into the computer as I have it only as a print-out.

again keep them coming,

If there are more than one for one region I will put them together to get more important numbers and contacts on the sheet.

cheers

If you have time, would it be possible to provide a good template for EAP's to help others to prepare one in areas where they do not (formally) exist?

Our feeling is that many know what to do, but do not put this in writing/inform all those involved.

We feel that this is a very important matter for dive safety and dive tourism development in the Philippines.

Had the plans to work on that today, but when I brought my students to the airport yesterday, I picked up 2 others by accident.

has anybody an updated one from the Anilao and Camiguin region?

Thanks for your help again...

cheers

Emergency Action Plans are very important and should really be produced by the opperators in all dive areas especially if there are a lot of divers passing through!

 

[World Wide Diver]

Many dive operators in PI's do not have/cannot be bothered to plan for an emergency as life is so cheap here. Rich Filipino divers have a fallback plan (they bring their own security - M15, Uzi's, Glock's, etc.). They also have their own evacuation plan.

It is very important that US/Europeans must make good insurance for travelling here in the PI's as good healthcare is expensive.

I strongly advise you take out DAN insurance before coming here and get contact details in the PI's for DAN which you can rely upon - not just the word of a local dive company which often means nothing.

Regardless of the lack of EAP's in most areas, talk to dive operators and ask if they have an EAP which your insurance company (DAN, or other) can work with.

Few areas in the PI's which purport to be friendly for dive tourism actually have a proper EAP and that staff will know what to do in a dive emergency.

IMO, there are many people posting here who do not know the meaning of EAP/simply do not care about this,

Foreign dive tourists must email their dive operators here to check this out. After all, what is your life worth?
