Maybe with the Celebrate the Seas photo event coming to the PI, some idiot thought they could shake down world renown photogs like David Doubilet and the Taylors for the silly fee...

:11: :shakeheadEd_Dman:Saw a group of "reef walkers", during our dive at the Cathedral. Those ******ers were so over weighted that they were actually walking on the reef. One of them happened to be a "dugong" that 2 DMs have to carry him around diving. Another ******er was holding a blow up porcupine fish, just to showing his gf. I should have stab them, instead of showing them the finger! Those are the ones that should be paying more!

actually, they should be paying for check out dives and if they don't pass up to snuff, not be allowed to dive at all....Ed_Dman:Saw a group of "reef walkers", during our dive at the Cathedral.

jesuz christ! how many of the photogs on the PPD make money off their photos??? ONE!Axua:I heard or read somewhere that one of the arguments was exactly because photopro's make money from selling the pictures they have the 'privilege' of paying for the fee because they make money from what they have photographed
in that case the Taliban's and Iraqi's should start charging the war photographer..
wait... let me call korean air and tell them to scratch the philippines off their destination listMike Veitch:actually, they should be paying for check out dives and if they don't pass up to snuff, not be allowed to dive at all....
