it's never too early to think of summer dives

[Hank49]

from what i've heard of boracay diving (in general) it's not that great... especially if you've been spoiled on the galera and anilao reefs... diving in bora only gets good if you go further out to carabao island and that area...

thats what i've been told when i asked last year if it was worth the effort to carry my dive gear to my boracay trip last year... both a DM and a DI told me it wasn't worth it... in fact it was just worth renting stuff just to say that i got to "dive bora"

on the other hand, i wouldn't miss the op to go beach and party in bora hehehehehe

Carabao is ok but Maniguin is better. But......I don't know how much you really like diving, but to say it's not worth carrying your gear there....come on, it's not that bad. haha. So you do the beach volleyball thing? good times. Unreal sunsets too when the fruit bats come flying by.

ya i do the beach volley thing... i'm the guy yakking and yakking on the microphone all day... so it doesn't leave me much time to do anything else but party at night (ya right... poor baby)

and with all the stuff being transported for the nestea thing, baggage space from kalibo to caticlan is at a premium... then the transfer from caticlan to bora... not too hot to lug all my gear for just 1 or 2 dives...

you seem to know quite a lot for a guy in belize... or are you the guy running scubaworld's new op in belize?

Nah, I lived in Iloilo from 1986-96 then went back and lived on Boracay for all of 99. Worked for Fisheye Divers there. Say hello to Carlos and Peter..and Mi Young and Andi next door at Aquarius if you're there. I went through abut 5 typhoons during visits to Boracay over the earlier years. I wish I had bought land there back in the 80s. You could get it for a song then. I miss the place. It has to be one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. And the diving....well lets just say you Pinoys are spoiled. The worst site on Boracay is as good as anything I've dived in the Caribbean. Mostly because of the abundance of marine life. Maybe we'll run into each other there, if we haven't already. I know a lot of people in Iloilo and Negros. My brother in law is a manager with El Nido...Ian Varona? Anyway, happy diving...Hank

Hi Jag,

I was running a business in San Pedro, Laguna in '00 and had the opportunity to take a couple of years off work, so I did DM and Instructor in PG and worked a bit there and helped a friend out in a shop in Boracay for a while as well. Finally had to go back to the real world a couple of years ago so now I'm freezing my %#$*@ off in northern China.

But I'll be in PG for two weeks at Christmas/New Years
