Let the “Daily effort to convince my social advisor we need to go!” commence. Would have been a no-brainer if our oldest didn’t nope out of Roatan on us. Now this competes with a non-diving trip with him, so we’ll see…

Matt you could always ask Santa.... provided you've been good.

I'll consider going if I can eat lumpia every day.

Anyone know what kind of water temperatures/exposure suit would be needed for this location at this time of year?

It is their Summer at the time we'll be going.
Please keep in mind, that on most days, 5 dives are available and you will lose body heat.

This could potentially be my first Scubaboard "meetup" trip, plus it's not a bad flight from Sydney! How well do these typically work for solo travelers, e.g. in terms of how buddying up is done? Should we try to arrange a buddy ahead of time via the boards/elsewise, or just deal with insta-buddying upon arrival?

I have a MAGIC 8 BALL to make up dive teams. J/K

The ScubaBoard crew will be diving in groups of 6.
We form Dive Teams by dive experience or friends asking to group up.

Ok...I'm not excited at all. Just booked airlines tix. A short flight from Newark to Singapore (18 hours!) and then over to Manila. Business class fares seemed reasonable for the haul.

This is also a birthday trip for me...it's a scary age, so I'm ready to have the best time ever!
