We just got back from diving in Malapascua and APO island.
Haven't yet got around to posting a trip report but soon!
We were on APO island for a week and stayed at Liberity's and dove with Paul...we loved the diving there.
One of the guest there was fishing. He would go to the fishing village and the locals would take him out fishing. He always came back talking about how friendly the locals were and how helpful they were. He seemed to enjoys the days he'd spent with the locals.
Prices for the food at Liberity's was roughly around 2-3$ USD for breakfast and dinner was around 4-5$ USD....beers were .75 cents. There a is bakery in the village where you can get a bag of rolls/sweets for pennies.
We did 13 dives each and that came out to be $15 per dive (we had our own gear) The prices for diving start at $20 per dive..if you do at least 5 dives it comes down to $17. There is a reef fee they charge per day. The diving there was very enjoyable. Some dive sites have riping current and some have none....they have dive sites to fit every comfort level....the night dive out front of Liberity's is the best!!
The rooms were nice and they have rooms for every budget..some have fans and I think all have bed netting. Beware of rodents..do not keep any food in room and best to keep clothes in your bag or hanging up.
They do take every form of payment..USD..Euros...American express travelers checks and credit cards.
You can also have them book your plane ticket back to Manila.
We really enjoyed our time on APO Island and recommed Liberity's....they are very prompt in replying to emails and answering any questions you may have.
If we can answer any more questions you may have feel free to ask.

Anyway for this discussion, I will have to agree with Nstead, do get a DM when you dive there. There are a lot of local DMs available in Dumaguete City.
