Finally got to meet some of the PPD'ers

[pakman]

Yomar - I was tempted to have a t-shirt made up with "Mr. Hong/ underwater graffiti artist" on it, but I figured it wouldn't go too well in Anilao...

Spoon - I was chatting with Dave about their tech wrec course in Subic... tempting... Tech Asia is also doing a liveaboard trip from Singapore in April to hit the HMS Repulse and some other cool deep wrecks around there...

Sorry Pak, don't own a pink wetsuit with matching yellow fins. I've been trying to buy Mike's set but he's just too attached to his outfit. But I knew I should have ditched the wetsuit and just dive in my tacky neon blue speedoes! That would have counted for something!

Seriously though, nice pics pak. Great meeting you too, very much enjoyed your company. All good about the beers, too bad we had to skidaddle since it was getting late. Sorry for over shooting Cathedral - still gotta work on my night navigation...(we ended up at Eagle's Point). And sorry for not giving a more thorough dive briefing - as the saying goes for us: just dive!


Dive info:

Dive 1: Bahura (translation: Reef)
Dive 2: Sombrero -> edge of Larry's Garden
Dive 3: Kirby's Rock
Dive 4: Cathedral -> Eagle's Point

nice pics.... too many colors though.... hehehehhe BWAHAHAHHAHA



maybe you did not miss cathedral dive site. i think they closed the site for diving hence you were not able to locate it. it was closed and hidden. :05: eace: :57:


Pak: did you and noli do any singing to rock and roll tunes on the way?

 

[Ben_ca]

Nice report... Nice pictures.

I was going to say that Cathedral is still closed isn't it? Chip wouldn't be leading our Korean friend into doing something illegal would he?

i think that was the idea. they had to have proof that a korean diver ignores the rules. hence they were setting up pakman and take his picture and show that a korean diver went diving in a restricted site and they got pictures to show.... and witnessess....

hehehhe

 

[Ben_ca]

And Chip would confiscate the offending diver's gear?
