Been to Bohol twice and Davao, Lost count how many times but was able to dive twice also. Hands down, its Bohol for Diving. But if you want a nice secluded white beach with world class food, service and accomodations and facilities, head for Pearl Farm Resort-Samal Islands, Davao

I suggest that you call up Planet Dive (09167043718) and inquire if they have any other guests (foreign or local) on the day you intend to dive (if its a weekday). If they have other guests as well, it may be possible to group you with the others thus reduce your expenses considerably. But...

If there are LDS there who can service an apeks, I suggest that you likewise seriously consider them. If price is a major consideration, you can opt for an apeks xtx or atx 50 which performs relatively at par with that of an xtx 200.

Clearing the customs by 11 am then getting a taxi to drop you off at a bus terminal, then taking a bus heading towards Batangas Pier in order to catch the 4 pm last ferry out for Puerto Galera, hmmm, its feasible. But in any event, I suggest you have a back-up plan, in any case. Ordinarily...

Same here, for the very same reason

Been to Sogod Bay December 26-30, 2010. The more prominent dive operators are Sogod Bay Scuba Resort (australian owned), Southern Leyte Dive Center (caters to mostly europeans), and Peter's Dive (I'm not sure if its american owned, but definitely owned by a foreigner). All of whom offers...

Just came back from Sogod Bay for a much needed break and family vacation and bonding. Sogod Bay offers snorkelling with whale sharks (between December to April) and at the same time scuba diving in its other marine protected areas (not frequented by whale sharks). Although its not yet world...

I usually avail the services of Sierra Madre Divers. They're highly competent, reliable and very professional.

Just recently came back from a Puerto Galera vacation (dec 8-12, 2010) and stayed at Atlantis Resort (a high-end resort), where my wife and I were the only local guests. Although it is one of the most expensive if not the most expensive in the area, service is par excellence and I would...

Recently went to Apo Reef on a liveaboard last September 2010. Occasional sightings of white tip (at least every other dive), chanced upon a resting nurse shark (once only), Napoleon Wrasses and turtles (on almost every dive). But generally, coral rubbles almost everywhere.

Was going over my dive logs during that time of the year. Water temperature is between 75 to 78 degrees fahrenheit and so I would be wearing a 5 mm wetsuit. Normally 80 deg fahrenheit and upwards, I'd be in a 3 mm. Maybe with that info, you can use that as basis in determining whether you'd...

I highly recommend club serena. Nice and decent rooms, tranquil and quiet surroundings, very good facilities. Plus they also have an in-house dive operator for your diving requirements. Couldn't find their calling card though so I couldn't give you their contact details. I suggest you just...

That is if you're looking for a divemaster in Anilao who is an exceptional spotter, not to mention his deep familiarity with all the dive sites in Anilao

I would recommend Gordz Gojunco who is based in Anilao Outrigger Resort

well, you can offer it to Planet, they might be interested. I don't know if Kiko's fleet is still in operation as the owner, Kiko, just passed away.

unfortunately, no. I've been suggesting that to the dencio of Planet Dive, to come up with a transpo system inasmuch as one of reasons why divers do not come on a regular basis is the ever increasing fuel and now, the recently court approved toll fee rates. Maybe, you can inquire from Planet...

Since you're in Palawan, I suggest that before looking for a resort in that area, you might want to consider booking in one of the liveaboards that offers regular scheduled trips to Tubbataha, for a real exciting and unforgettable dive experience. On the topside, if you're in Puerto Princesa...

Well, if you don't get any invitation from anyone, you can just walk-in to Planet Dive, as what I usually do and they'll just group you with other divers. Just call them up in advance at 0916-704-37-18 so they'll be expecting you and include you in one of the groups they usually schedule for...

If you're planning to stay in Ermita and intend to be at the airport by 9 am the next day, you can leave your hotel at 8 am and still be at the airport by 9 as most of the traffic is northbound, while you on the other hand is southbound. The Pan Pacific Hotel is also a good option and its just...

I suggest you call them (nautilus) up first before going, as I was there last saturday and noticed that they don't have it on display. It seems that they run out of stock and i guess its one of their fast moving item.
