For those interested, our IDC candidates are organizing a Project AWARE “Dive Against Debris” on the 1st of July here in Puerto Galera. We will meet at 10 am for a briefing and a fun trash treasure hunt underwater.
All items collected will be analyzed and data uploaded to the global Project AWARE database so it can help with policy development and basically making a bigger difference!! Come join us!!
Check out this amazing photo from Hanno Jansen taken this week with good spotting from Ferdi!
A few more amazing photos taken by Gino Symus from his recent trip here.
It was a fun weekend with these ladies in town. Welcome back to Akiko Tada, Sue Breniman and first timer with us, Gail Willow who celebrated her birthday during this long weekend! Highlights of the weekend included Canyons and Verde that were at their best, Gail receiving a special little birthday present by spending some quality time with a lovely blue-ringed octopus and of course a few too many drinks.
Spectacular sunsets at the Barrel bar these past few days with many enjoying the view and of course the cocktails!
Wonderful to have Gino Symus back here again recently and see some of the amazing photos he took. These two are a great example of behaviors of animals and should be entered in some competitions!
It was great to have this fun group here with us from Always Dive Expeditions in Australia. The whole gang was very experienced divers and most have been to PG before, so they knew about the amazing diving awaiting them. Thanks to Grahame Selleck for bringing everyone here (Eddie Hamid, Geoffrey Nangle, Martin Clarke, Aiden McGilvry, David Inglis, Vincenzo Mirarchi, Peter O’Donoghoue, Brett Wallace, Robert Porter)

Allan went up to Manila to attend the Queens Ball organized by the British Women’s Club. It was a fun night to meet old friends and some new ones too, and to donate a prize for the event. The bottom photo is of Allan with Sue, who is the president of the British Women’s Club.
Congratulations to Alexander Nelson for completing his PADI Open Water course today! He did an amazing job and we got the added bonus of two turtles and one big frogfish. It’s always nice to have Kimberly and her dad, Jim visit us along with many members of her family over the past years.
