    Trip to Palau from Philippines

    Next year, I will be coming over to the Philippines for 2 months. I would like to use the opportunity to take a short side trip (+/- 1 week) to Palau, which has been on my wish-list since long. It could set it up from here (Belgium), but I remember seeing a lot of advertisements in Manila (e.g...

    Poseidon regulators

    I am diving with a redundant setup: my primary is an Apeks XTX200 and my secondary a Poseidon Cyclon 5000. Just as the OP, I am based in Europe and access to service is not an issue for Poseidon over here so that should not be a reason not to go for it. I do have to say though that service on...

    The Philippines Promotion Picture Thread

    I have some, but they were still taken with an analog camera. I will see if I can dig them up, scan them and add them here. I climbed Pinatubo in 2004 with a group of around 20 people. This was a weekend trip organized by the Habagat shop at SM Megamall. It was great fun, but we had...

    Mindanao December

    A little late, but I still wanted to give a first hand experience as well. We stayed at South Point divers last August for a week and we had a wonderful time. It is a great location with excellent diving and a great staff. We arrived just after a typhoon hit the area hard (which is not common)...

    Cagayan & Camiguin

    My wife is originating from Camiguin and I have done a lot of dives in Camiguin over the years. I have done all my dives through Camiguin Action Geckos, which is one of the operators. As mentioned before, Johny's is another one which I believe is equally good. Johny's does offer Nitrox while...

    New fast craft for Bohol to Camiguin

    Seair stopped flying from Cebu to Camiguin last year, which means that at the moment your only option to reach Camiguin is via sea. I heard rumors a couple of months ago that Cebu Pacific would be interested to start flying to Camiguin and that there are plans to extend the runway, allowing...

    New fast craft for Bohol to Camiguin

    I spent about a month in Camiguin last July/August and all the times we have seen the Paras Sea Cat leave to Bohol, it had around 10 passengers on board (while the total capacity is around 200). Even the Camiguin - Cagayan de Oro leg (which gets a lot more passengers) on the Paras Sea Cat...

    Extended VISA needed for 29 day trip to PI?

    Getting the extension is easy as many people said, but just a word of caution. Upon check-in, some airliners can give you a hard time when you plan to stay longer than 21 days and you did not apply for an extension visa upfront. My wife being Filipina, I am entitled to get a balikbayan stamp...

    Should I renew my DAN-EUROPE Basic Membership for a trip to PG?

    DAN coverage is valid worldwide, independent from where it was purchased. DAN provides an insurance and chances that you will need it while diving in PG are very small. But like with all insurances, it will give you piece of mind knowing that you will not need to worry when anything would...

    Short term booking Manila - Cebu

    I called the Cebu Pacific call center, but I encountered the same problem there. They seem to get no authorization for my VISA card, whatever that means. When I called my bank afterwards, they checked and confirmed that there has been no rejection of any kind on my VISA so the issue seems to be...

    We will be in the Philippines soon (arriving in Manila) but we will fliy to Cebu soon after. Since some time, Cebu Pacific no longer accepts payments via foreign credit cards for online bookings, so it seems we'll have to book once we are there. Does someone know how much a Cebu Pacific...

    Made to Order Gear Bag for 2300 Pesos

    My favorite bag is the following: Scuba Diving Bags It is strong, easy to handle and stow, completely waterproof and it is huge. I can put all my gear in 1 of those without trouble. While wreck diving on the North Sea, the charters do not allow plastic boxes, so this is an ideal alternative to...
