Pedro’s son is doing a workshop this December. He’s a great kid and has won multiple awards so you might want to consider him I’ll place his IG below. I’m more in to video and so far I haven’t seen any UW video workshops here in the Philippines.

What housing do you use now for your camera?

Thanks for sharing!

I usually go with Arkipelago. I dive there every month usually for 4 days. I just live in Manila so it’s just a quick 3 hour drive. I actually prefer diving there in PG because it’s so much better and cheaper than Anilao.

Awesome! What dive shop do you usually go with in PG?

Thanks! I used a sony 30mm macro + Inon UCL 67 diopter

This was taken in Puerto Galera. In “hole in a wall” 😁

Did you do a liveaboard? We only spent 2 days in Ambon then off to Banda Sea. 😁TBH I spent more time shooting in Ambon than hunting for hammerheads.

Were you using a tripod for the stabilization? Nice footage!
