    BTW Earl, I'm not trying to "beat" you at anything here or get personal. You're the one making the claims; I'm just asking you to substantiate them. :smile:

    Some more Apari Fish....

    These pictures are of somewhat 5 cm fishes ,but they seems to grow up some bigger. Once again not taken by myself.. I am sure you all knoiw my own pictures from older posts I made... Not realy World Photography Winners..

    These species are found to the very very North of Luzon....
    Weather condition there are very poor and rough sea , indeed. Every season around 30 or even more new kind of fishes is collected there that have not been reported from other places...........
    For those that may not know : Fishes ending on SP. means NOT YET DETERMINATED and therefore UNKNOWN !!

    Deeper then 40 meters and even seen at 80 !!

    I wish to introduce to you Chaetodon burgessi ( Marinduque Island ), named after the great Prof .Dr. Warren E. Burgess , married to a Philippina . Warren also discovered The Mirolabrchthys Lori . named after his daughter LORI as it was found at her birthday.. It was however orginaly named IMELDAE .. as it was during the Marcos administration..

    This is a typical Earl picture .. I dislike them myslelf , but there is a good reason for this Glass Prison. read my old posts.. i would say..
    Chaetodon burgessi belongs to other rare deepwater butterflies as :
    Chaetodon tinckeri , Ch. delclevis and Ch. flavocornatus .

    AND SO I DID , though normaly I would have taken distance from request to do so...
    Knowlegde is power and I have no need to proof OUR being right amongst those that know....
    You might be a heck of a diver.. But does not make you qualified to argue on the way you did / do.....
    If revealed the spots where new species are found surely half of the USA divers and Germans will jump in .. Beside our beloved friends from Korea ( this one I have place here for you ,Yabs :wink: )

    ONE Boracay is more then enough..........

    Try to take a dip in the water with Rdoody I would suggest.......

    Okay so it's a fact, Philippines is the most diverse marine region in the world because ... because Earl says so and that is all the evidence anyone should need ...

    and Victor Matfield is the best rugby player in the world too ... cos I said so.

    ... Still waiting ... :smile:

    Glad to hear that you have built up such a healthy respect for my ethics after knowing each other so long ... :smile:

    I'll say again - that link that you sent me is a TextMate website - I don't understand what that has got to do with diving?

    Well , I am not going to waste anymore time on you... Surely you have not been reading all. beside.. You seem to be one of the kind that want to win even when you have no way you can.
    I have said only you MIGHT be a heck of a diver . never anywhere I have said I respect you....!!

    Some people think eastern Indonesia is actually the most diverse marine region....still in the Philippine ballpark though...I see enough enough diving in the Philippines not to complain. But I have to say the Red Sea, along the Saudi coast, was (by far) the richest area I've ever seen...in terms of biomass and variety of marine life. Staggering quantities of corals and fish...big ones too....
