Today, some current interfered with my plans to photograph the most beautiful nudi I've ever seen. 3 day dives and a shore dive from our back door. The other diver in our group found that his 3mm wasn't enough, and went for a 5mm with hood. I feel justified in my coldness!

LOL.
We are all individual and have different tolerance to cold!
If I travel to new dive destination I always bring along extra layer or two. There is nothing to lose.
Glad you enjoy Philippines on your first diving trip and you also picked a right place to practice photography.
Black water in the future?
If you never been to Lembeh then you ought to give this place a try for macro.
Have a nice journey home.
Other than the paperwork to get into the Philippines, how has Covid affected your trip while in the Philippines? Has any of the people around you gotten the virus, either fellow travelers or dive staff or others?

I would assume many people in the Philippines have had covid and don't even know as they haven't been tested. I have not had covid but do assume that traveling to places like the Philippines there is a good chance I will come into contact with people who have had it. Will I get it? That is a risk from traveling anywhere nowadays.
No covid to my knowledge in anyone around me, people are required to wear masks when out on the street, but not so much within the walls of the academy. We all have contact tracing app on phones. Nobody's gotten sick at the academy. I went to get my test results this morning at 9:00 a.m., I got a rapid antigen back in 25 minutes or less and a PCR test back in about 4 hours. Paid about $90 for the two tests.
All at all, I would say that it is safer than being around in the United States.
