BTW if you contact him, he can arrange for discounts for some hotels, AFAIK, Red Sun included.

Mid to late November. The first day the vis wasn't so great, but it got better and better. By the 3rd day or so it was great. It was a new moon so the currents were on the strong side. I didn't dive with Red Sun, I went with Mark @ Sea Rider in Small La Laguna. Mark M. Narvacan at +63...

LOL the same thought has crossed my mind!

FWIW in blue water ascents I ascend with one hand on my BC fill and dump buttons, and the other hand holding my computer/depth gauge up to my face.

P.S. All their rooms had a veranda and a view of the sea.

Oh and the bathrooms have bidets, which I've learned to like. :D

What a great outfit, and Mark charges less than the others. I have to say he's one of the best DM's I've hired. I mentioned him here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/4893847-post47.html If you want to see pics and a vid of divers who've dived with him. check these out: Photo Gallery...

2 friends and I stayed at a Korean owned resort, Red Sun. From the ocean, it appears to be the largest resort, and is located in Small La Laguna, near the border with Big La Laguna. Surprisingly, the rates were very reasonable. See pics. The resort is pretty (Mediterranean style), the...

I think you are correct. I was in PG again a few weeks ago and did Canyons 2x. I can't get over what a great dive it is. :) The first time was my tuneup dive the morning after I arrived LOL. We swam through hole in the wall then did the Canyons. The thing that struck me on this dive was...

We made some calls. Mermaid has LAN cables in the rooms. But there are 2 of us, and we will have to bring a router. :) El Galleon and Orchid Sabang has WiFi only at the bar. Out of the Blue has more expensive rooms than the other 3. Getting a little work done = 30 mins of...

Hi all, I have to do a bit of work while in PG next week, can someone recommend a nice resort with WiFi? Thanks!

I'm gonna go fetch one myself, cheers!

Wow, hammerhead, that's quite a story. Your boatman must have been really good for him to spot you. At the end of you dive, how did you get swept down without being aware of your depth?

To the metric guy: We got scattered to a max depth ranging from 121 ft to 140 or 150 ft IIRC. (37m to 43 or 46m) Will know better when we use Excel to overlay all the data from our computers. Should be fun.

It was 3 PM, and so it must have been ebbing. The direction of the current was away from shore, towards deeper water. When there's a strong ebbing current and the bottom slopes down after you leave your site, the water flows out and downhill at the same time. If it's 4 knots sideways it...

So I spent the last weekend in PG. I was on a 2 week business trip with a colleague who's a dive instructor, and we ended our trip with a 4 day vacation in PG. We arrived in Manila from Seoul Friday almost midnight, crashed at Victoria Inn :D (separate rooms!), friend picked us up at 8AM, and...

So 2 weekends ago I flew in from Taipei Friday morning, and got to Anilao at 3PM. I'd have gone diving but I got a migraine from waking up early, and the drugs didn't work until it was too late. But I was able to put in 4 dives on Saturday including a night dive - (flew out Sunday afernoon)...

I had an awesome 4 days, with one "Dive of Death" (another post). BTW I've done PG way back in 1999. CM.

Call Scubaworld Philippines and ask for Mario Elumba. He was my instructor and is excellent, and makes it lots of fun. He's been doing it for over 15 years. AFAIK he still teaches, usually out of Anilao, Aquaventure resort. Anilao is a good place to learn because many of the dive sites are...

Wow, I didn't see these posts until now, I ended up staying at Mabuhay for 3.5 days until last Wed early morning. The rooms, meals, and service were all decent. ( I got 11 dives over 3 days.) However my friends' rental gear was crappy. Crappy fin strap broke and they charged for it, another...
