In Sept. 2008 we stayed with our old friend and colleague J.P. Barbier of Topseashells at his place in Punta Engano, Mactan Is. and did some diving in search of Ovulidae and other shells at Balicasag Is. and Panglao. Part of the group was also Olivier Santini of wrs-shells.com. We had a great time diving, doing underwater photography and other shell-related activities.
