    The only thread about diving here so I might as well post my question here... I hope you wouldn't mind.

    Is any one here in the know of dive shops around metro manila which sells gears at the lowest prices? where are they located? Also, do you know whether there are shops in Cartimar selling dive gears?

    This thread started in 2000 pa. So has this Maira-ira in Pagudpod been publicized now?

    What's up with sharks and baracudas? Why would you want to go diving with them? Dba nakakatakot yon?

    That's usually the perception of the majority when they haven't taken diving yet. They're majestic creatures underwater. It's seldom you encounter them. What the Philippines mostly has are reef sharks which are not dangerous. In fact, whenever you spot one, you'd only get to enjoy a few moments as they shy away from humans.

    FACTS about sharks from National Geographic

    • Each year there are about 50 to 70 confirmed shark attacks and 5 to 15 shark-attack fatalities around the world. The numbers have risen over the past several decades but not because sharks are more aggressive: Humans have simply taken to coastal waters in increasing numbers.

    • Over 375 shark species have been identified, but only about a dozen are considered particularly dangerous. Three species are responsible for most human attacks: great white (Carcharodon carcharias), tiger (Galeocerdo cuvier), and bull (Carcharhinus leucas) sharks.

    • While sharks kill fewer than 20 people a year, their own numbers suffer greatly at human hands. Between 20 and 100 million sharks die each year due to fishing activity, according to data from the Florida Museum of Natural History's International Shark Attack File. The organization estimates that some shark populations have plummeted 30 to 50 percent.

    • The largest shark is the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), which can grow to 60 feet (20 meters) long. The gentle giant eats tiny plankton.

    • Sharks are known as eating machines. But because many species are cold-blooded, some sharks eat only about 2 percent of their body weight each day. That's a bit less than humans typically eat
