Now that Coz 2015 is over, and I have the diving bug like no other, I've been looking into this all day today. I'm only 4,000 miles away from a free round trip to Manilla. I doubt I would ever do the Philippines by myself, and it would be tough for me to find a friend to join me on such an adventure. Scubaboard presents a perfect opportunity to be with good people on what I'm sure would be a GREAT trip, and I assume mostly hassle free (much less hassle than if I were to book this trip myself). Before I consider calling to be officially put on the waiting list, how would I go about being a solo traveler on this event? Do I need to secure a roommate before taking up a spot, or can I be put on the list as a solo, and the next interested solo person will automatically be roomed up with me? Would it be bad etiquette to secure a room as a solo, hoping that it would work out in the end? It looks like this event has gotten the attention of many other solos, maybe we're all just wondering the same thing, missing out on the opportunity as time passes.
