Any advice

[Rogersea]

Evie, I have only seen there boat from a photo on the internet. Sounds like you guys will have a fun trip. Right now I am associated with a resort in Moalboal named Turtle Bay Dive Resort. I imagine if you make it to Moalboal you will be making a day trip or will you and your friends be staying for a few days???

Cheers,
Roger

my only suggestion...

avoid rocky things called islands... not good for the hull..

It remains a little challenged. Somedays you have 20 - 25M and on others 10 - 15M. But over all the diving remains good. You are assured a view of the sardines and should see several Turtles..

BTW there are several Mooring Bouys up and down the Coast which should be available for your usage.

The only advice I would give is figure out how much water you need and then Double that amount...

On your last post, TB is a real nice resort.. The owners did a great job putting it together... If the boat your picking up is your own, you should look at the way Turtle Bay Designed their Boat Ladder, it is the easiest ladder set up I have used, and do not remember seeing it on any other Banca's. It is great for older Divers or those with weaker legs or back problems.

Cheers,
Roger

Ok, Thx Roger. W/ d scorching heat now & whole day out on d boat, everyone's gonna get parched quick for sure.
Will take a look at TB's boat ladder if we do go MoalBoal. Not my call.
Havent seen d new boat yet. But am sure Paul will want everything to be most comfortable for d passengers. The ladder of his diveboat in PG is angled in such a way, that u can easily walk up w/ ur gears on.
