Well I'm glad that this thread has settled down. As paolo said this is really an opportunity and in no way meant to change the nature of the PPD forum. In fact we really hope that you'll get more visitors to share with and things like making your dive events even more 'official' by lending the SB logo to them we think will help the SB PPDers will continue to grow locally as well. The whole idea is to help you to grow and get better and better - not to shut anything down. The PPD forum is a real chance to let divers around the world know what's happening there and want to go dive in the Philippines to see for themselves. Considering that most of what I knew about the area and divers before concerned kidnappings and terrorists, it's probably already working! eyebrow
