Hmmm...what's the ST forum?


Scuba Toys has their own forum.... most of my posting is there. I found this board and specifically Philippine Paradise Divers from a post on that board when I was researching my last trip.
 
i love the pics....!

my ex-bf just did moalboal last august07 too and he said there were so much stuff to see there. he also saw turtles (boooohooooo). i guess, i shouldn't cross that site off my list, after all!

Thanks! I'm glad you like the photos, I'll be posting more soon.

I saw turtles on probably 80% of the dives I made in Moalboal. If I decide to make my next trip a Cebu trip instead of a wreck trip, then I will definitely go back there.

I'm thinking about trying to do three weeks next time and hit Bohol, Sogod Bay, Siquijor, Dumaguete, and Moalboal again at the end.

If I do a wreck trip, I would do Subic Bay first, then Coron. From Coron I'd catch the ferry to Puerto Princesa to catch a live-aboard to do Tubbataha Reef before coming home.

As I have already said many times.... the problem with the Philippines is there are just to many great places to dive! :wink:
 
Bill- u mentioned Tubbataha Reef and i am guessing you're looking at Feb-May trip next year, eh? or is it 2009?

Anyway, a good number of the PPD photogs are going to Southern Leyte for the whaleshark dive on Feb 22-25. and some of them will go directly to Cabilao (late February). in any case you are planning a trip on these dates, u should try and meet up with these folks. :).

Yes, next year... I can't think about 2009 yet, because I don't know where I will be. (I'm hoping to get Guam when I transfer from Japan in February 2009)

I was thinking more March-June timeframe. Not sure I can go on vacation so soon (3 1/2 months later) again.

I do still have plenty of vacation time though despite all the vacation I've taken in the last 12 months (1 trip to Thailand, 1 to the US, and 2 trips to the Philippines). I had saved 70 days leave while I was working in the middle east. I didn't take a vacation for over two years! I promised myself that I would never do that again :wink:

Chip mentioned the trip to Southern Leyte (but not exact dates) on the Scuba Toys board. I'm considering it :) The problem will be balance... money, vacation time, work schedule, etc.... I'm going to work it and see what I can do. I really want to do Tubbataha Reef though. That's high on my list. Of course my "list" is always changing :D

I'm up to about 10 posts already! :D Hey, somebody's got to promote the diving in the Philippines over there. :wink:

It's mostly to get the $10 gift certificate. At 250 posts we get a $50 gift certificate - I swear, if we started a PPD thread over there we'd make that in 3 days! :)

Glad to hear your plans to come back here, Bill. :)

Here's the thread about Leyte:
http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/philippine-paradise-divers/203817-southern-leyte-part-ii.html

As mags said, we're going feb 22-25 and some of us are heading to cabilao afterwards. The man to talk to about it is Clgsamson - he's the one organizing it. Unfortunately I'm unsure about accomodation space at Sogod Bay resort - the last I heard the place was fully booked but there's another resort right by.

If you'll be back in the PI around March-April, I'll be planning a dive trip sometime around then - I'm pretty set on checking out General Santos diving with South Point Divers.

Going to tubbataha would be awesome, but at the expense of a week in tubbataha I could gallavant around to 3 different areas and spend the same amount of cash. :) not saying it's not worth it because it totally is, but I want to try see as much of the Philippines as possible. I'll be planning to go to Tubbataha the day I'm not on a student budget.
