mas sosyal yan, i already have an E72 to replace my lost E71. used my sis' iphone4 when i was there, dropped calls and flickering screen was the deal breaker for me plus te price for an unlock iphone was way too high, $830 pffth, tangna nila.

back to topic, i hope PAL don't get hit by a strike in october/november.

Guys,

I have to bail on Malapascua... was offered a hosting gig that's paying more than what I'll be spending - sadly they're on the same weekend.

Have fun... and drink a lot for me please... and take nice pictures... and have a great time... and try not to get bent or hurt...

sniff...

I'm not sure if this is still a generic Malapascua dive related thread but I'll just post anyway. Kindly let me know if there is a different appropriate thread for my queries below. Thanks!

I'm planning to go for a trip to Malapascua between November 20-30, 2010.
1. Is this a good time to go for high probability to see thresher sharks?
2. Can you recommend a fair dive resort that offers lodging and scubadiving package at the same time? If not...
3. Can you recommend a decent lodging arrangement where I can stay for about three to four days?
4. Which dive center / operator would you recommend in the area and why?
5. Aside from the thresher sharks, what else are the attractions of Malapascua?

Thanks a bunch in advance for any helpful information that you can provide. =)

Hi Edz, this thread is really just about the DOR for Oct29...but no problem to answer your questions.

1.The sharks are always around, it does vary, but if you do a few dives your chances are pretty good.
2,3 and 4. Evolution
5. Gato Island, Lapus Lapus and a night dive at Bantigue Cove are all not to be missed

I'd be happy to put together a package for you for whenever you want to visit. Just email me on matt.reed@evolution.com.ph

HTH,

Matt.

Thanks for the info Matt. I'll just send you an email for the details of my travel plans in november. I'll try to see if I can pull another diver friend to join me on this trip.
Thanks!

So, who's still in?

Looks like I wont arrive until the 29th (about 5-6pm would be my guess for landing in Malapascua), due to Singapore airlines not having any seats on the 27th. Flying direct to Cebu though, at least... I need 2000 miles to reach Premier elite status, so they are pretty much my only choice...
