one of the very few people I allow to use my
Mac...
Here
is what he has to say…
Hello all, back at the Mac Lab that is Gunther’s office. Just
had an extraordinary 5 days in Palawan at Club Paradise diving with
the Dugong Dive Center. I knew the diving was amazing because I had
witnessed the areas marine biodiversity in Puerto Galera and heard
nothing but the highest compliments about Palawan’s oceans.
However, neither me nor my memory card had any idea what to expect.
In fact, in the house reef in less than 8 meters of water, I more
than tripled my previous record by filling up my 4 gig memory card
in 1 dive. The dive ended not because of air, temperature, or
nitrogen issues, but because I had no room on my memory card and
got the point where I refused to delete anything I had! I would not
have been able to handle film days at Club Paradise. This is just
the house reef, then there is also the wrecks and world class reefs
and mangroves. The topside stuff also could not be beat-- thousands
of bats flying into unbeatable sunsets, monitor lizards doing their
mating dance in the mossy lagoons, rare owls above your beach front
bungalows and well then you barely start to get the idea.
That’s before even getting to the turtle releases and dugong
watch. Interested in seeing photos of all this and hearing the full
report? Stay tuned to DivePhotoGuide.com for the detailed, image
rich article about Philippines and the rest of the coral
triangle.
