hobby Scuba Diving And/or Snorkelling

[goldgreen]

i noticed that there is no thread for diving enthusiasts or are we that few?

 

i got certified early last year then got my advance certification later part of 2008. been diving at least once a month.

 

once you overcome the fear of the first dive, you'll find out why this hobby/recreation is very addicting. the natural high is like riding your motorcycle on a windy and clear night sky without any other vehicle on the road. you wouldn't know where to look first, the stars or the wind and the road ahead.

 

ahhh. just made 3 dives last weekend. miss ko na agad.

fellow divers,

 

me & my buddy are going to dive in anilao this saturday. since our intention is just to get our fins wet, we're going there early saturday morning for only 2 shore entry dives. we can get back lunchtime to early afternoon.

 

we'll do our first dive between 6-8 with set-up, then breakfast. Second dive is 9-10.

 

budget is around 1K per diver. but if we're not having lunch there (maybe in tagaytay with some drinks), less P300-500/person. meet up at 7-11 tagaytay 5-530am or 6-630am at Leisure Dive resort in anilao.

 

if you need to borrow some equipment, i may have some spare. you can also rent there if my extra gear won't do.

 

PM me for those who wanna join. me and my buddy are good to go. he's a dive master and i'm advanced diver.

me at 38m or 125ft (more or less).

 

enjoy life. learn to dive.

i think there is a group thread for mtc divers. but i do agree with you on the "high". i've been diving since 1999 and i remember in the early days, i would dive every other week. my buddies and i would travel to different places for dives - balicasag, moalboal, palawan, etc.

 

enjoy!

bro, if you really want refresher, baka pwede 20-30 ft ka muna with a DM (my buddy's a DM). or i can arrange with my CD.

 

summer's just around the corner. daming nag-aaral ngayon. sama ka lang as a fun diver with a group esp kung may nagpapa-certify ng OW. their dives are conservative and don't dive beyond 40 ft with their first few dives.

bro, main obstacle ko with weekend dives is that we tend to use up the whole day/s (leave early and get back late) esp diving with a group. unlike, say golf, tennis, bowling, weight training or even firing, where it only consumes half a day. wala talagang malapit na place to dive except batangas.

 

this is the only set-up na win-win kami with those who also want quality time with me during weekends who are non-divers. and also less expensive. no boat and brunch only. pwedeng kanya-kanya na pagkatapos or stop-over on the way back for some light food and few drinks.

 

it's not that i don't like group dives, every now and then, iba talaga ang marami at masaya. you meet other people and learn new things.

 

but this weekend, quickie lang muna. in early, out quickly. i learned this from japanese divers in batangas. 2 boat dives sila in the morning then balik na after lunch, puede pa sila golf in the afternoon/evening.

whew! another extended surface interval week over.

 

i get to dive again tomorrow. can't wipe this silly grin off my face.

where do you normally dive from? ligpo or anilao side?

 

hope to join a fellow mtc diver soon...

Di ko pa nasubukan with group dahil sa time din. Minsan sinabay ko 2 dives with island hopping. The next time sinabay ko Ocean Bay trip sa Gapo. Naka balik pa ako intime for the Dolphin show dahil sa harap mismo ang site. Time, time, time!
