I would like to ask you for some information about diving in and around Phuket / Khao Lak / Ko Lanta in the third week of December, for a week. The plan is to do the Rescue course along with some fun dives. I'm open to land-based or LOB, but what I'd really like is to be able to dive Richelieu...

Thanks for the advice!

But will the chances be higher of Anilao being affected by the monsoon in August compared to the central Visayas?

I'm traveling from Europe to Manila for work and would like to squeeze in some diving! If I have 6 days for diving in the second week of August, where would you suggest I base myself? I'll like to be some place less affected by the monsoons - so was thinking Dumaguete/Dauin, or Panglao/Bohol, or...

Hi there! I'm planning on going to Koh Tao from mid August to mid September. I know the diving may not be the best, but this trip's focus is more an internal one than an external one. What I want the most is to be somewhere tranquil, get some R&R, and do some introspection. Along with some...

Hi Diviac Travel, thanks a lot for that useful tip! I'll keep it in mind :)

Thanks a lot for the info Hinterman! I guess I'll wait a bit before diving the Maldives in that case :)

Thanks a lot everyone for your input and suggestions, really appreciate it! I will stick to just two destinations this time - (having considered all the pros and cons and timing considerations) Malapascua and Moalboal. Sooo looking forward to it! :D

Thanks Red Barbarian! Looks like Evolution gets a lot of thumbs up on this forum, so I think our dive base for Malapascua is sorted :) For diving Balicasag I would rather stay on Panglao since I'll already be making 4-5 connections before that (travelling from Europe). Another thought that...

Thanks a lot Centrals! I wrote to a dive shop on Malapascua and they suggested the same, to stick to one place. But, IF I can get a few more days off work, then I would love to spend even just 2 days in Panglao to dive Balicasag (seems to be a lot like Sipadan, which I loved!). If I can get 12...

I hope everyone's been having a nice and relaxing holiday season :) My husband and I are planning on diving the Philippines around March. We only have about 7 days (excluding travelling time - which from Holland is looong!) and want to be land-based as opposed to liveaboard. We are interested...

Although I am a moderately experienced diver, I am looking for somewhere to dive with gentle dive conditions since I underwent a surgery a few months back. Keeping this in mind, are there any locations / dive resorts / liveaboards in the Maldives that you would recommend? I am interested in...

Good to know! Now I can start building a list of pros and cons :)

Thanks for that! I'll keep them in mind. I've been going through some other posts on this forum and it seems that the reef diving is better in Puerto Aventuras compared to PdC - would you agree?

:confused: My partner and I are going to be in Mexico for 1 week in mid-January and I am starting to plan our dive holiday. I have never been to Mexico before and therefore have lots of questions! - Sea temperature wise, what can we expect? - Sea condition wise - is it calm on the whole? - I'm...

Zivva, thanks so much for your input - it does help me a LOT! I just need to decide what my priorities are and then choosing the resort will be easy peasy! :D

Thanks for sharing your feedback on the dive resorts! To summarise based on all the information gathered thus far: Two Fish pros - environmentally conscious, great bread and jam made by Laurent, he's also supposed to be an encyclopedia on mantas, good wifi, they do trips to Tulamben Two Fish...

Hi again! Thanks for helping me decide where in Bali I should go diving this February - Nusa Lembongan it will be! :D (I think that entire post is now non-existant because of the data corruption which occurred on ScubaBoard recently :shakehead:) Anyho, I was wondering if you have any feedback...

thanks for that!

thanks for that! we went to Sipadan last year and absolutely loved it :) this year we've decided to go to Lankayan... can't hardly wait!
