as Dale said, it's used to stun fish for the illegal aquarium trade (easier for the illegal fisher to collect).

Nice resurrection. Found a cyanide bottle, kinda creeped me out:

congrats. :)

also try this out violet: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/philippine-paradise-divers/141256-marine-iconography-critter-id-resource.html Make sure to thank the kapitan for the post, he can get grumpy at his old age. :)

Sweet video, I'm interested to hear about your homemade housing for your JVC. Abet is a great divemaster.

Thanks for that. I love the wide angle shots. Sorry to hear about Donsol. Try Sogod Bay next time for the whalesharks, it's a bit more low key with better viz. The trade off is that you might not be guaranteed whaleshark sightings but the pristine diving makes up for it.

Q: Jeffery, how long have you been shooting photos A: I started in May 2006 with a Canon s80 Last SB.com post date: June 5th, 2006. hehe. Have to give it up to him and his improvements and accolades. All that aside, nice article. Thanks Prandy. :)

Here you go: Verde Island Pictures For all the educated grown-ups, go ahead and read the scientific article I posted in my previous post and here's another scientific article to give a better understanding of the biodiversity in the coral triangle...

haha yeah I saw but I ignored it for a reason!... :mooner: (needless to say, UW SBS should be done in an environmentally friendly manner...)

Sweet pics andy, what camera rig are you using? Are all the pics from Subic? Some nice critter shots you got.

As long as he doesn't say summer sl*t....

someone here needs a hug like that barrel coral... :P

yep, a day trip to subic or anilao is doable. Take a look at Divenet or kiko's fleet for anilao. For subic, I know diver's network runs trips up to subic from manila. Alternatively you can take the bus to subic and ask if the dive shop can pick you up from the terminal. If you take buses...

Bohol is doable since you can ferry it from Mactan (assuming you fly in to Cebu). Diving in Mactan is good - check out Gilutugan one day and Nalasuan the next. That's 2/3 of your days. But what Jigo said - it would help if you give us a list of your preferences regarding accommodations, types...

Er, that fool is agreeing with your idiotic post. The only one with a chip on their shoulder is you with your many statements with diving in the south vs. north, rich vs poor divers, etc. and the diving in the Philippines in general. Please, let's start with banning you. Um no. Your previous...

15 days is a lot of time. Dauin/Apo Island and Anilao are two places that come to mind. However, both places are sleepy compared puerto galera. Boracay has a great night life scene, but I am unsure how you'll find the diving after having dived PG and Bohol. If you're seriously worried...

And round and round this thread goes... :) ;)

May I also suggest sending the pictures, a description of the practice, and the Sarangani government address to the diversions yahoo group. They will also take an interest to it. But I checked google and couldn't find any address of the Sarangani Government. edit: beaten by Anna. :) If you...

I just like to imagine that I'm the barrel coral. That way it's like he's giving me a biiiig hug! :) Hugs are awesome and this good looking gentleman in the picture looks like he can give great big hugs.

Just call me Chip. Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound like I was against handline fishing. Just to be clear, I do agree with you about it and targeting purse seine methods. The point I am making is these shark fishermen should be offered a variety of alternatives and sustainability programs...
