a friend of mine took a nice picture

My first guess would be some kind of cartilaginous fish (Class of sharks and rays), but...

I doubt.. after searching around and asking in the net. - I get usually same answers : No fish here.. or very little... they are cactched or the sea are destroyed..
is it really so bad ?
I allways imagined it must be easyer to go on angling in Philipines with the 7000 islands there most be something..better than Thailand,,,
can anyone help or advise ?
It cant be true there is no fish to catch . of do the Philipine...

No Fish In Phils ?]]> 27 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 05:42:59 +0000 https://dumagueteinfo.com/board/threads/local-rates.6163/ https://dumagueteinfo.com/board/threads/local-rates.6163/ invalid@example.com (carl1984) carl1984
I really like to get an Open Water Course, but the thing is i don't know where i can get the cheapest or a "local rate". most dive shops told me i can get it cheaper if I'm in a group, how many people need to join to be considered a group? 2? 3?.... Also after getting licensed(OPC) how much are the current local rates per dive.( I already have the gears or equipment, well technically its not mine but my cousin is willing to let me use:confused it once i get certified.

I try to ask resorts for a local rate, but I haven't had luck. I'm new to Dumaguete (3 months), and I would like to invite my friends to dive as well, but i'd like to go visit the sites first.

I have my own gear (just need tanks/weights), AOW license with Rescue training, preferably with a group (share boat expenses and meet new buddies).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Does anyone know something about diving at Sipaway island near St Carlos City on the noth east coast of Negros
I only see one resort on the map and that is Whispering Palms Resort
How is diving there it looks not so spectacular to me, but maybe i am wrong, but the resort looks nice.
