Hi Hank,
I have read some of your posts and found them interesting, being from the Philippines i am curious about your good friends in Iloilo(Boy) who has a place in Nogas Island. Does he run trips around the area or is this a purely private affair. I have visited most of the dive sites in the Sulu Sea (Tubataha Reefs, Jessie Beasley, Basterra, Bancoran, Arena, Cavili and of course Cagayancillo). All of them are great, just too bad that fishing is no longer allowed in Tubataha and Jessie Beasley. If there is any good hunting around Nogas Island i would like to know who to touch base with in that area. Maybe you can point me in the right direction? Enjoy your trip to the Sulu Sea, this is definitely the best time of the year to experience that place.

Hi to everyone,
Just registered recently and am a very keen spearo from the philippines. My favorite target species are dog tooth tuna, giant trevally and spanish mackerel. Would love to touch base with divers not only within Asia but also all over the world. If anyone has questions about diving in the Philippines, please let me know as i would be more than happy to help. I have been scuba spear fishing since 1977 but have recently been doing more freedive hunting. Any advice and tips would also be most welcome.
cheers,

Dars
