Hiya,
I'd need some recommandations from you, seasoned PI vacationers & divers.
I've already dived Moalboal, Puerto Galera, Malapascua & Panglao/Balicasag. Willing to change but I only have a short week stay, 5 days diving maybe. Hence I cannot afford spending too much time going to remote Romblon or other similar well kept secrets.
Most importantly, my wife is a non diver, usually waiting for me around the pool or on the beach while i'm diving, we try to keep the afternoon for ourselves doing sea/landside activities other than diving (visit, swimming, paddle surfing, etc.) and like to go outside the resort for dining. Therefore we need a resort with a nice pool or a swimming beach, possibly with outside dining options nearby .
I thought first about Dauin but the resorts I contacted bumped me : "sorry sir, no more rooms : pls come back later". Another issue is with my schedule in between Xmas and new year, this is getting tight...
You have the background and the context. My questions now :
Thanks for any suggestions.

You have the background and the context. My questions now :
- Do you think Dauin would be fine, if so which resort would you advise other than Pura Vida and Atmosphere, both full ?(Read reviews about Atlantis, even read their "behavior" chart, doesn't look like my cuppa : after 600 dives and 10 years of UWphotography I am not sure I would like to get advised accordingly. I'll skip them). But what about the other contenders around?
- To be honest, I would LOooOOVE to dive Anilao but I am not sure that would match with my non diving wife's requirements. Confirmed or infirmed?
- Any other ideas elsewhere?
Thanks for any suggestions.
