Hello, We just spent a week in Sabang, and had a great time and some nice dives, despite somewhat rainy and gloomy weather due to Tropical Storm Ramon spinning up off to the east. The only days we saw sun were on arrival, and then the day we departed...lol. So it goes, but still had an...

Hello All, We will be in PG from December 26 - January 5. Any PPD folks going to be around? Our group is staying at the OoTB, and we have NOT finalized which dive operation to use yet...so open to suggestions. I've seen posts in the past about Action Divers offering PPD members a discount...
