Great stories

Great interview Mark

so cool to find stories like this

Wow! Interesting story love it

A treasure of a story

Small world. I had a friend in upstate napanoch new York. ( Tinker) who had an antique store who also dove on the otocha. Had clippings with the fishers,after their find.great stories

Wow! Very interesting interview and one of my favorites among all your interviews.

One of my favorite I can visualize everything

I guess the nautical version of safety first was not prioritized by that crew and Murphy's law took their lives. This story is a gem, as I got my dive certification in Florida. I love hearing dive stories from both.of you. Dont forget, Palawan- Coron is only 1 island away, and the WW2 Japanese wrecks can even be seen by snorkel. Just pack some good fins. Liked.

interesting,,, my name is Philip and my grandfather called me Flip👍🙂

I was talking about visualizing the diving part

The diving part

Mel Fisher Sebastian Florida 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Absolutely fascinating interview. I've been to Mel Fisher's treasure museum in Florida and familiar with the story, but it was amazing listening to Philips story.

Wow Dumaguete a sounds like a real magnet for all kinds of people from the most relaxed beach bum too well educated professors. Good stuff Mark

Is Phil still in Dumaguette?

Man this story is simply amazing, I remember reading about Mel Fisher and the Attocha back in a Skin Diver Magazine sometime around 1985 or 1986 i was hooked on diving from then on, I remember how sad I was when I read about the accident of his son and daughter-in-law, this man right here could probably write a book on the things he has done and seen around the world. Thank you for this it made my evening while at work on this snowy night here in NYC.

Very interesting guy, easy to listen to. Great questions my Mark throughout.

Best Wishes Philip,,,enjoy your story

WoW!.. what a story, thank you both.

Thank you Philip for sharing more of you fascinating adventures, enjoy your time sailing around the PH islands in next few years. Thank you Mark for another interesting interview.

Awesome stories... thanks for sharing

I love these adventurous souls you meet...great stories, Thanks 😎

Great story 👏 👌 👍

Mark! You are connecting with such an interesting guys. Thanks for documenting these stories!

i really like this guy.he is very intresting.,,,,,good job mark.

Super interesting story, thanks for sharing this !

Just an excellent story teller.

Mel died in 1998

Thanks for the amazing stories.

I'm sorry I kept on skipping, I was trying to find the part that he's gonna hold up and drink that beer in the corner :-) , I'm a Filipino trying to learn more from your stories. Thank you :-)

Treasure!!! You have my full attention!! I am a 68 year old kid when someone mentions treasure..hehe

Great story

Well done! Another great interview guys...inspirational.

The Phillipines ( and other exotic places ) seem to draw adventuresome people. I noticed this in British Honduras ( now Belize ) in 1967.

I really like your channel, your guests have interesting stories and we learn lessons from them ! Thank you !

You've had an amazing adventurous life Phil! I have great memories of our time spearfishing in Tonga :) Phillipines look idyllic

I've sailed past them when they were on the Atocha. It is halfway between the Dry Tortugas and the Marqueasa islands about 40 miles west of Key West. I was about 2 miles from them and a bunch of guys came up to the front of the boat and were watching me. When I saw the mail boxes off the back of the boat I changed course and gave them a wide berth. By the way I did mark the place for fun.

I didn't see the boat. Was that on a different video?

I have been to the PHI many times, and meet wonderful people from all over the world. I was living on a sailboat in Chicago, and friends said I should sail her to the PHI. I cannot imagine being so long with my "ars hangin in the wind" so to speak. Too many things can happen. I have great admiration for Phillip, and he is such a nice, humble guy. I could listen to these stories for hours. Salamat kaayo!

Blip Blip used to be a good sailor before he became a rummy

Mark very interesting interview i really liked it ,your a Pro and interviews keep up the good work

This guy is a gem.Have you been to Rabaul, I hear there's plenty of wrecks to scope out and is also a very surrealistic, inviting and beautiful locale.

Yamashita’s gold. Look it up. Supposedly still out there.

Mark, you really pried out the good stuff from this interesting treasure hunter/adventurer, Phillip. I had a friend and adventurer (we did some together) who searched for the Lost Dutchman Mine, dredged for gold in the Snake River, held the world record for a Barracuda killed with a spear gun, and for good measure was suspended for flying a loop under a bridge (yes, FAA agents can read your aircraft ID number upside down ☺). His dad, a WWII and Korea Navy pilot and winner of two Navy Crosses, chewed his butt out for being so stupid. After his dad's death, he found a letter of reprimand for his dad and wingman flying under a bridge upside down.

I love the story of the Atocha and the 1715 fleet. I collect and hunt for shipwreck treasures. I plan on retiring in the Philippines in about 4 years or so and plan on diving for sunken treasures of the Manila Galleon trade. I hope to meet like minded folks with that sense of adventures.

I was born in Key West I've seen a lot of treasure Hunters there the only thing I've ever found is dive gear that tourist have dropped

So sad these old dudes on there way out are scared to share certain stories to us young people for fear of being censored like one day the same thing cant happen to us

i was worried that you would run out of interesting people to interview. Philip is not only interesting but also seems to have a couple hundreds of more interesting stories to share.

This video gets very interesting. Starts slow.
