The Grey NATO – 318 – Exploring Pangatalan Island With Blancpain
Episode 318 hits your feed with a report from Jason’s recent trip to the Philippines with Blancpain to visit a newly minited Marine Protected Area. As sometimes happens, the trip didn’t exaclty go to plan – but it’s still a tropical paradise with some limited and not-yet-released dive watches – so don’t feel too bad.
From the top, the TGN boys are finally able to share the first-ever TGN watch, the CWC CWN1 (shown below, congrats to all those who pre-ordered this past summer!).
Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you following along with Gombessa Expeditions, exploring a Sea of Lies with the CBC, and considering the impact of your own mortality.
