5. DURATION OF TRIP This is also key in order to recommend where to go in the PI. Some places like Malapascua or Sogod take half a day to get there. Others like Anilao and Subic are only 2.5 hour drive from Manila. How long you are staying can determine how many places you can visit as well...

6. ARE YOU TRAVELING ALONE OR WITH A GROUP? If you're with the kids we wouldn't exactly recommend making an adventurous spartan trek on an 8-hour bangka ride, now would we? On that note, will you be travelling with dive gear? This helps us out in giving you advice with your mode of...

Paul Partridge and South Point Divers: South Point Divers - Your next dive destination in the Philippines based at Lemlunay Resort. Great place and people. Have fun!

Easy there, Karl. I think you're confusing yourself with Karl_H as he was the one being skeptical. We're teasing him, not you. :) I only asked if you can request the mods to rename this thread out of respect since you're the OP, not me. Just sit back and relax. It's the weekend. :)

holy crap - I thought it was all a joke that Simon started until I rechecked FB right now...congrats guys! A little Rhadazeemantus!

Karl, now that NetDoc has confirmed that there was no sock-puppetry, maybe you can request that this thread be renamed to "M/V Philippine Siren Wrongly Accused of Damaging Reef on Apo Island"? This thread shows up on the first page of googling "Philippine Siren".

...followed by some humble pie. :) And Karl, it shouldn't be your typical short post just saying "ok, you guys were right, I was wrong. I apologize." The M/V Siren deserves better than that! Start it off with "Friends, family, and my fellow SB denizens..." (ps - thanks Karl for being the...

thanks for all the first hand accounts. To Gail, Sherwood, Jill and Julian - Just wondering if any of you have contacted the media about this to publish a correction? Or at least they can publish your letter response.

If you're here to stay, you can relax and drop the condescending posts. The frustration should be directed to the media spewing crap and not the SB users. Well, maybe Karl is fair game since he threw down a gentlemen's challenge. :) HAZAA!

The things you post to get me out of the woodworks... :) Power plant projects are so last year. Dive boats vs. faulty media reports are the new hot topic!
