Some great news coming out of Marawi City as the army have killed the 2 terrorist leaders that took over parts of Marawi City in Mindanao. The president has said that the city has been liberated but there are still a few bad guys left to clean up. The battle has gone on for over 4 months and has...
Dear Maaat76,
Kindly check out resort, Marco Vincent dive resort in based at White Beach, Puerto Galera, Our website is www.mvdive.com
I'll be happy to help you if you have any questions on the area.
Many thanks from Kris
I used the Discovery fleet for the past couple of trips, they run 6 night trips out of PP. very large boat, good cabins with great food and service. Diving rules are strictly enforced, no gloves, no pointer sticks and if you are seen to be touching the reef then you can get banned from diving...
That is very true, I have been to Tubbataha 4 times, it is one of my favorite places to dive in the world. Make sure you pay a visit to the ranger station there. Those guys spend months at a time in the middle of nowhere and do a great job in protecting the reef, they sell Tubbataha rash guards...
Does anybody have any idea on Kraken v Light & Motion Sola lights, I'm looking to buy new video lights soon and would love to hear some opinions. I have been using sola 1200 for a few years so looking for an upgrade.
If you have to go to Coron then plan a trip to see the Dugongs in the north west of the island. Also Barracuda lake is worth doing and you might even be able to get a trip to Apo Reef which has some great corals and large schools of fish.
Greetings from Kris at Marco Vincent dive resort, we are based at White Beach, Puerto Galera.
We would like to invite United States based dive shop owners, travel co-coordinators and independent dive club leaders to visit our resort on a fam trip next year. We have dates available which are Jan...
We run trips to Apo Reef and Coron from Puerto Galera, let me know what dates you are interested and I will see if I can help you. You can check www.mvdive.com for more information.
Cheers from Kris
Hi Scuba Mickey,
Puerto Galera is nowhere near where the trouble is in Mindanao and everything is peaceful here. We are around 900 miles away from that area. I have been living in the area for 5 years and there has never been any trouble. Please don't be put off from visiting PG in May, you...
Kindly consider a trip to Puerto Galera, 3/4 hours by van and boat from Manila and has some of the most varied diving in the Philippines. There is plenty of great accommodation to chose from.
You are welcome to check us out at www.mvdive.com or www.facebook.com/marcovincentdiveresort
I hope...
Thanks for your reply Centrals, it's nice have a good discussion with you. I have added some comments here. If you are interested the next time you are in PG I would like to invite you for a days diving with us so you can see our boat and service.
That's fine to be biased Centrals but as least...
Interesting to read your comments. White Beach can be quiet in the evenings, especially on week days and out of busy times like Holy week etc. Although it can get a little busier during weekends. The dives sites like Giant Clams, Manila Channel are only 10 minutes away from WB. To get to Coral...
My Zoop has also had a melt down after 3 years of diving, I'm a bit disappointed as my Geeko last me 9 years and did over 5,000 dives. I hope Suunto can help me out.
Come and join us in the Philippines, we are running a trip from Tubbataha to Puerto Galera from June 7th- 18th . 7 nights on the Discovery Palawan liveaboard and 4 nights at Marco Vincent dive resort in Puerto Galera. This will give you a great experience of what the Philippines has to offer.
I would say PG has a more varied selection of dive sites plus you have the bonus of Verde Island which is spectacular to say the least. Dauin is great for muck diving but not so many corals, they have Apo Island which is beautiful place. Another bonus for PG is that you will not have to take a...
