    Harold's Mansion Dumaguete

    Siquijor is just under an hour for us on a good day. Maybe 1 hour 20 minutes on a rougher day. Makes it good for us for a three dive day trip, but it doesn't take being more than a few KM up or down the coast to make 10-20 minutes plus or minus on a boat journey to the various island. Apo is...

    Rocket Fins failure

    I was recently on a dive (and I will skip the details) but had a failure of my Aqaulung Rocket Fins. The failure point was the 'plug' where the straps connect. Images below. Upon inspection after the dive it appears the plug on the opposite side has failed also. As for the other fin in the...

    Harold's Mansion Dumaguete

    What I do know is Harold's boat is pretty BIG. I have no idea about the facilities on it or the safari itself but I'm sure you will enjoy the diving. Where does the safari go to out of interest? A lot of the diving here is accessible daily, but it would be good if they are going off to further...

    The burn! (Negativity towards tech divers)

    I like to think I am pretty open to an individuals wishes when it comes to diving. Weather it be the dives you like to do (big walls for me) or the equipment you like to use (as many cylinders as I can clip off ;) ) it is a very personal thing. Each to their own. What really drives me nuts is...

    Siquijor Accom. + Diving

    Living in Dauin ;) Not on a trip (I don't think). Was supposed to head over there on a bit of a reccy a month or so back, but just been too busy to get the chance. When I do manage it I'm sure I will be stopping in to see Felix and his shiny, new resort! Diving is good, but I know nothing...

    Philippine diving for beginners at the end of July

    I just went diving with the two managers of Blue Orchid. Literally got out the water 10 minutes ago. They have come down here to check us out and they seem like genuinely nice people. I guess when/if I get to Moalboal I will go and dive with them. I must admit I have no personal experience of...

    You might even be able to get an early bus from Cebu North Terminal to Maya (port for Malapascua) around 5.30am. Would see you on the island in time for lunch :)

    Bohol fishermen slaughter Thresher Shark in Balicasag protected area

    From my experience here in Dauin the coastal sanctuaries are protected quite well. Do the fisherman fish 20m outside the sanctuary lines...yes. Do they fish inside....nope. If they do are they then removed....yes. Same at Sumilon Island too. Not sure about Siquijor. Apo Island from what I...

    Technical Diving Gas Mix Question

    That is very open ended. Errrrm, first part 'deco gas' ...... second part 'isobaric counterdiffusion' ? But that is assuming a very high He backgas and using no travel gas? As for gas choice, ideally 9/67 (pp02 1.34 140m)...MOD 145 @ pp02 1.4 (at this depth work to a lower pp02?...I don't...

    Trip report - Atmosphere Resort, Dauin (near Apo Island)

    Seconded to all the things said about Atmosphere. Great team of people down there doing a bang up job in a top notch facility. Poblacion is slowly starting to recover, and Dauin South is still fantastic. Hopefully a sign that the silt is slowly getting washed off the rest of the coast Hodge...

    With my skills if anyone believes I'm an OW I'd be happy ;) Looks like someone has their work cut out! On the plus side at least my feet are a little more 'floaty'
