Here's a link to our Facebook page with better pics of the beach. Even at high ide, there is a nice area to hang out above the sea wall. It's a bit rocky to lay out, but they did have chairs. There's also a nice Long Beach that the hotel can shuttle you to as well, at Lana's Beach (some...

From what we were told, Oceans Edge used to have a full organic menu that utilized food raised on-site. The pandemic put an end to it, so the menu we had was pretty good but not the fancy organic meals they used to serve. So, prices dropped with the non-organic menu. We ate all meals at the...

My husband and I just completed 6 days of diving with Vibrations Dive Center, staying at Oceans Edge Resort so thought we'd share our review. In a nutshell: Highly recommend for those visiting Boracay or those looking for a new place to dive in the Philippines. Healthy Reef with a lot of...

We are in the Philippines now and have Actually been diving in Carabao Island, very near Boracay. The diving is great for macros as well as a variety of soft and hard corals. It's an undiscovered dive area in the Philippines. We will be posting a review soon. If you want to see Boracay, I...

If you are still 8n the planning stages, look into a dive safari. It's a great way to dive multiple locations without dealing with transportation, etc. if you can book this, then you can spend 5 nites in malapascua and increase your chances of divng with the threshers

Thanks for the quick reply Centrals. Any specific area / Dive Ops you recommend? We dove with Peters in Sogod, but didn’t have options for restaurants nearby. Is there another part of Southern Leyte? Havent been to Dauin town (just dove near it)…any insight re the area to look for a place...

Would you recommend a 4-6 week stay in your area? My husband and I are considering a 3 month stay in the Philippines starting next January and wanted some feedback on best areas (near dive ops) to stay in. We would probably prefer 2 locations so we can get a variety of topside activities and...

definitely agree it’s best to stay in one place if you will just be there a week, especially if flying across different time zones and if third world travel is new to the family. Haven’t been to the Philippines post Covid or typhoon, but travel takes awhile, especially with flights and ferries...

Facebook has a couple of local dive groups you can join and post to find buddies. Vero Beach Scuba and BHB dive club. Have fun!

Thank you all! I feel like I now need to get into photography with all my free lessons from you guys! I see that there is an open box inon D200 for less than the s2000 or the YS01. Reviews said it’s worth the extra cost for the snoot options and diffuser so I may just go with it. Merry...

Amazing shot! Thanks for the clarification. I realize you already answered my question in your initial reply but I read your reply (and others) too quickly….didn’t want my husband to see me research this or I ruin his Xmas present surprise!

Nice! Hes been using his lights for macro on the old tg4 but with his new 6, I think he wants to try a strobe for stills and shallower dives while we are in the keys this winter. Do your lights have a strobe function or do you not use them at all?

Yes he mentioned ring- guessing he just wants simple, so thinking getting a ttl only is ok. rings Look so much more compact and less drag but never saw anyone with them before and not sure if used a lot

Thanks all, very helpful! Would he use video lights in addition to the strobe if he shoots video and stills or does a strobe also function as video lights? he has two lights now on a tray so trying to figure out if he would put the strobe on the camera or an arm.

Hi, desperately research strobes for my husbands new TG6 setup. He has been happy with TG4 with video lights but with his new TG6, I’d like to get him strobes for underwater macro. I’ve read about TTL, etc but frankly so confused! Can someone pls help me identify decent options under $500...

Hoag, do you find the MacBook easier with editing as well as downloading or is it just the convenience of not needing the sd reader? We travel about 7 months out of the year too...any major differences? Thanks all

We have tried transferring via Bluetooth and the cords but it was very slow! Is the SD card reader as fast on the iPad as a pc? Also, what apps do you use to edit? We have the GoPro and the TG4. Thanks all!

Hubby has an old iPad and with his birthday and Christmas coming, it’s time to get a new iPad. However, our biggest challenge is ease of downloading and editing videos from our TG4 onto an iPad. Since we travel a lot and use the iPad to watch videos, we really don’t want a heavy laptop. Any...

Looking for insights / recommendations for must see/do dive sites if any in this area. I prefer warm waters...3 mil suits so wasn’t planning to dive but understand that the waters would most likely be warm? Info on dive conditions (viz, stingers, etc) this time of year would be helpful as well...

Tuguegarao is a long way from dive sites, but you’ll enjoy the beauty of the mountains! I would suggest a dive safari. For about 1k, you will have 6 nites accommodation, meals and 3-5 dives daily sampling the dive sites of Cebu, Bohol, Sipalay, Balicasag, Anilao and Other parts of Negros...
