READ FULL POST BEFORE ATTEMPTING! (click images for full size) I have done this successfully several times recently. On a desktop, its easy. Not so easy on a laptop. I sold my Acer to a local guy and he promptly messed it up. He’s so bad on computers (putting it lightly) that he doesnt know [...]
I was sitting in Cocolocos yesterday evening (Boracay, not the resort island) and friend comes over telling how his illness cleared up and he could go diving again, unlike myself. Then he says that out near Virgin Drop, him and the shop manager/instructor of Blue Mango diveshop saw a dolphin just under 2 meters long [...]
The owner of Sheena’s Place hired one a local to fix the leaky ceiling in one of her rooms. She leaves and he breaks into her personal room. She comes back and finds P 300,000 cash, digital camera, and P100,000 in jewelry gone. Dude denies it but still has the cash and camera. How to [...]

The only other trash area are the [...]
I completely forgot I had these pictures until I saw Jung post this article. Its about a sponge crab that took a plastic bag as its ‘sponge’. This past month, I saw my first sponge crab (huge! carapace almost a foot wide). It was on a night dive with Dustin of Blue Mango. This thing [...]
DAN (Divers Alert Network) is possibly the most widely recognized diver insurance. Yea, they do offer other ‘normal’ insurance services but its primarily geared towards the extremely high cost of diving-related injury. Since there’s not a lot of those, its generally cheap.

(source link) MANILA, Philippines—An American diver was pulled out of salvage operations at the wreck of the M/V Princess of the Stars in Romblon on Friday for numbness and shortness of breath, a suspected case of chemical [...]
The only real accident was me blowing my eardrum at about 20 meters and not realizing it. The Camia II is a purposely sunken fish transport ship off Boracay with 6 or 7 years of growth on it for an artificial reef project. We were going down and had some AOW students that were having [...]
Supposedly there was another typhoon through here but it never so much as raised the winds. Only a few more weeks and I’m outta this house. Damn thing’s falling apart and the landlord stops speaking English every time I tried mentioning it. So screw him, I quit telling him and will just quietly move out [...]
