30 minutes later I was on the banca heading out to Twin Peaks for a quick one around a couple of islets. I've got to say that any fears over the quality of equipment are far from founded. It is excellent. The BCDs are of the wings type with all the buoyancy on your back and included integral weights. I love my Buddy Commando, although it is a bit heavy duty for the tropics, but the comfort of these jackets is amazing.
Regulators are octopus rigged and included good gauges.
A far cry from the sad specimens I've seen in some places. The next day was designated relaxation. Look, I know. Again, all this was sorted out at the Kalamayan. Lunch was packed, boats organized and porters whipped.
