Hi guys... thanks for the tip off about Alex Santos, I've now written to him. I've also written to Discovery too.
We're off during January 2009 hopefully. We've been out there twice now this year... we first went in January for three weeks and we liked it so much we went back for a month during the summer. The wrecks are bloody awesome and almost the entire dive time is carried out inside the wrecks without seeing daylight. You do need to be careful however as the dive outfits can be a bit hit and miss on safety at times. I believe from what I've heard that Discovery are extremely safety conscious however the outfit we used were cheap and cheerful and extremely good value for money on every aspect. The other thing that will overwhelm you is just how friendly they are out there.
Just watch yourself in Manila though.
If you'd like to see our photos from the trip in January go to:
