I'd like to offer this small insight: The biggest agency PADI has around 135.000 current members. (divemasters and instructors, who all pay their annual fee. Former members are exempt from the number.) Cutting out divemasters and assistant instructors, who have very limited teaching options, you...

Hi. I'm currently in Cambodia and thought I would just search here on Scubaboard to see what other divers thought of the diving here. Since my search didn’t come up with much, I thought I would contribute a little (for once!), so others might plan a trip here if they should so wish. Four...

Hi - thanks for a good write up Kevster. I live and work on Malapascua and I know how frustrating it can be to go to see sharks and not have any luck. Just the other day I said goodbye to a couple of friends who did four dives at Monad without seeing any. Glad you did on your third dive at...

Hi. I agree it's very unusual behaviour for a fish. I'm quite sure he didn't hurt the fish - or if he did, I didn't see it. I edited the video, the raw footage was a bit longer, but once he "said goodbye" to the fish, it went a meter or two away to its cleaning station and did what you'd...

Hi guys RoatanMan - you're absolutely right about quantity! I don't know how I could've missed it - I guess it seemed so obvious, that I just didn't see that it was missing. But of course - it's one the most important things. I'll add to the article later on today or tomorrow - and add the cash...

Hi A while back I tried promoting a website about Malapascua, by publishing a number of articles or articlesbase and such sites. One rather long article was titled "how to get cheap diving at any holiday location" - and I though people (read: divers) were going to be all over it, because of...

This blog has some info on it, but the source is the same Norwegian article though. Christmas Tragedy / SK

I also haven't made any real progress. I met the divemaster again today, but asking questions along the lines of "no, seriously man - I really want to know..." didn't yeild any answers. For what it's worth he said he could tickle any beastie, and then he proceeded to tickle me - the cheeky...

Hi I live on Malapascua, and the diving is generally great here. However I'd advice you to go somewhere else, if the only time you have available to you is December. In December the water turns green here and the visibility drops markedly. This lasts until the end of January. If you're more...

Hi Perhaps Crowley got it. I don't know - I'm sure most of us have had many close encounters with cleaner fish, having wounds picked at, earwax removed or what else the little critters do. I just never seen something like this - I'll be watching the same guy, and see if I can learn what he...

Hi guys I caught something on video I've never seen before anywhere. I've seen "tame" fish (that had been fed on previous occasions) and even a few fish trying to rub against divers, presumably trying to rid themselves of parasites. But what on earth is going on here? The dive guide...

If you guys want to check out some of the dive sites around Malapascua in advance, theres a site you may want to check out. I'm not allowed to post links yet (being a rookie on this board still) so the site is gotomalapascua dot com. If you're diving with Matt and David you'll probably want to...
