If you have a residential visa, not clear yet on what types of visas this covers, you will be allowed to return after 1 Aug subject to having pre-booked test and quarantine facility. Also this will be subject to priority being given to Filipinos returning so you can get bumped. (I know of a guy...

I seriously doubt if there will be easy tourist entry or internal travel in the Philippines by then. Manila and Cebu City are on tight lock down until end of July and I expect that this will continue well into Aug with gradual relaxation after that. Still reports of people stranded at the...

I am reading this as allowing retirement visas. I have SRRV, Special Residential Retirement Visa, so I might be allowed back if I left. They are not issuing any more tourist visas.

NCR National Capital Region, i.e. Metro Manila Strictest level is ECQ Enhanced Community Quarantine, basically complete lockdown MECQ is Modified, some relaxing of rules. GCQ General Community Quarantine MGCQ the most relaxed state of quarantine, almost to a new normal. It comes in two flavours...

West Hawk is the one dive site where I have the most dives. It is handy and close to where I lived, lots of diving there including a lot of train9ng dives. It is where I have done all my ice diving as well. Sad to hear about another facility there.

Diving on a limited basis has restarted in Moalboal Cebu province. I had my first dive on Saturday and went again on Sunday. Right now it is only shore dives so with two sites available, left or right, I will spread out my diving to keep it fresh. I am diving with Cebu Dive Centre and the left...

Fir new divers I'd advise spluitting your gear into 4 roughly equal dollar valus groups. First is the personal stuff, the stuff that has to fit and is in contact with your body and small stuff that is often not available in rental gear. You should get this about as soon as you certify OW. Even...

I hope he doesn't find out by reading the OP.

I am in Moalboal, Cebu and had been talking Cebu Dive Center and they had hoped that we could dive starting 16 Jun when we went to MGCQ. Now have to wait until 1 July.

That is my go to. Mix about a furl box in a bucket and soak the suit for a couple hours at least. Even sprinkle some where the smell is stronger before putting in the soak. Prince and repeat as necessary.

My dive and work buddy and I were staying at a marina on Rainy Lake near Fort Frances Ont ( near International Falls Mn) We would usually have a dive after work and then run the compressors while having supper. Twice we were asked to get stuff for fishers who had dropped it right at the dock...

Diving might resume in Moalboal Philippines on Tuesday 16 June but the borders are not open to incoming foreigners.

I like the Newfie ( i.e. someone from Newfoundland) way. Every one is "Buddy" unless there are two of them then they are Buddy and de other fella. I am really bad with names, especially non Anglo Saxon names that I am not familiar with. Add in serious difficulty recognizing faces and I have a...

No pictures to add just a comment on using shop vacs. When my dry suit was overripe I gave it a good soaking and cleaning and to dry it I put the shop vac hose into each boot and let it blow into it for 24 hours, Dried it like a charm. If I was to make a drying rack like those pictured I...

MOLLE stands for Modular Light weight Load carrying Equipment. It is the web straps that you see on a soldier's battle vest that allows different pieces of equipment like holsters, clips, pouches etc to be attached in many different configurations. It is also becoming more common on civilian...

Why would he do that, it is legal in Canada.

Commercial travel still allowed.

There is a difference between feeling the cold and being cold. Feeling the cold is that it is cold on your skin, being cold is a drop in core body temperature. I like feeling the cold when diving, I am Canadian and used to feeling the cold but living in the tropics these last 4 years have not...
