But that being said, you can do 3 or even 4 dives per day for a very reasonable cost in PG and that qualifies to "be in the water as much as possible" in my book.

No good snorkeling in Anilao and most of PG. The things to see mostly are below 30ft/10m. I've heard you can snorkel from the beach if you stay in the resorts of San Antonio Island, Verde Island, or on the Cove side, but there is not much of the diving industry there. I think there is a phase...

Boracay is a good destination for a vacation with some diving but not a good one for a diving vacation. If you go all the way there, spend a week diving elsewhere.

If you want, Steps can book ferry tickets (selected operator) and arrange a trike to meet you. CG - have two fast boats - on a smaller size, we never had more than 6 divers + a guide on ours; when there were more, they sent two boats. They load/unload your gear, but you carry your mask and...

I just came back from a two-week trip to the Philippines. The first half was a diving vacation; the second was mainly work 9conference) with a couple of dives squeezed in. A quick note to give back to the community and a few photos. A few general notes - the water is much colder than I...

I am saying there must be a mistake in these. let's use the data from here Ferry to Cozumel There 7x 800-passenger Ultramars and 8x 400-passenger winjets daily. If all running 100% full and all with "visitors" The total number (7*800+8*400)*365=3.2mil, i.e. less than the official number you...

I am sorry, I am a numbers guy, and I don't believe even the order of magnitude number of visitors by ferry. If these are to be believed, over 10,000 tourists arrive at Cozumel per day, i.e., over 700 per ferry(assuming 15 a day). Even at full capacity 400/winjet, it does not make sense. I...

I am not sure about ferry numbers - most passengers are either local going from mainland work or vice versa. Why "two-or-more-trips"? We, for instance, flew to CUN, dove in Cenotes on the first day, and then took the ferry to Cozumel from where we flew home. So we did not count?

I probably would be diving once or twice in the morning so likely to be 2pm ferry. I would even do 4:30pm but a bit afraid it's cancelled. If no direct jeepney, will order a transfer. Thanks!

How do I go from Malbini (Buceo) to Puerta galera? Jeepney to Batangas and then Ferry? Too hard with suitcases? Should I arrange the transfer with the resort? Is boat transfer possible?

I was a GoPro subscriber and had access to Quik - the automatic editing software that could take a few of my clips and photos and arrange them into temporal order (works 2/3 of the time but has a lot of issues with time-zones sometimes), make the transition, match tempo to music I choose and get...

Got a pair of ebay with mk2 so I am set!

Who was the dive operator you went to Verde with? Was it from PG or Anilao?

I've missed recent sales here but I would love to get my hand on not too expensive Scubapro g250/g260 or similar in good condition. Will consider in a set with Scubapro first stage

It seems like Vibrations Dive Center's is now relocated to a different island. Any other operators on the island? How do you get there? I am going to be in Boracay for a meeting, but looks like dives there are not too good these days. Was thinking of going to Carabao for a day but it looks like...

Some more pictures.

OK. I just got my Hero10 replaced by a brand new one as a part of the warranty exchange. But I've decided to go with Divevolk and, therefore, sell the camera and perhaps over $200 of underwater (and some overwater) accessories. So here is what is included: 1) Hero 10 (brand new), never even...

Hijacking the thread as it is currently on sale, and I am tempted to try. Currently I use a two-arm tray and a light with my hero9 gopro. Questions: 1)Anyone used both Gopro and this - what are the pros and cons? 2) How do I attach DiveVolk to the tray - any extra hardware required? 3) How is...

Yes, that is the only local brew to miss at home! Went too early (October) this year and bummed in missing it
