1-15 June Philippines Dive Trip

[bill22]

So after more thought I'm thinking that I'll dive Club Ocellaris until Friday. Shift to Aquaventure for Saturday and dive with everyone from Manila who wants to come, then go to PG on Sunday morning and finish out there. That will give me six full dive days in Anilao and five full days in PG, plus partial days (a night dive on the 1st hopefully and 2-3 dives on the 8th when I move to PG) I should be able to get in around 40-45 dives (I think) if weather cooperates

I lose to much time moving back and forth, so I'm just going to plan on staying two extra days in Anilao. (I knew there was a reason I had credit cards )

I'm planning on coming back to Manila on the 14th. I can't dive on Saturday the 14th since I have a 4:30AM flight on Sunday the 15th. Maybe we can have dinner somewhere on the 14th? What does everyone think?

I have no idea where I'll be staying in Manila. If I come back to Manila on the 14th, it may not even be worth it to get a hotel. I'll need to be at the airport probably by 2AM.... any suggestions? I could possibly decide to come back on the 13th. I'll play that one by ear.... but still interested in any suggestions for a hotel in Manila?

I stayed in Lotus Gardens, in Ermita while in Manila. Not too expensive... Clean, nice room... I think I payed 55$ a night...

Some of the PPders suggested to me Victoria courts... definetly another option....

I'll look into Lotus Gardens. I stayed at Sofitel last time, but I'm trying to save money this trip I'm not familiar with Victoria Courts.... based on your reaction to their suggestion, it must not be a "nice" place

@codman: c'mon admit it you stayed at victoria

@bill: am not that familiar with manila city hotels. maybe jag & caloy can give you some ideas.

Bayview hotel in Roxas Blvd, right in front of the US Embassy (nice and clean rooms too).

Better stay in makati. some nice hotels (and im mean not those with extra service) along pasay road. i think the digidiver group went for city garden hotel. also decent but near burgos.
