Dear PPD´s!
Coming April, we (the Carcarian asawa and me) plan for a trip to Philippines, after some family visit in the Pork Capital of Cebu we plan to head for Padre Burgos (S.Leyte) for some diving.
Some insights needed about this:
- How big is the chance there to see butandings around end April/begin May?
- Which resort/dive operator you advice?
- Any other great tips/dive sites not to be missed/other things not to be missed?
After that we are planning to transfer to Tacloban and via domestic flights (via MNL, and then w/ SEAIR) going to El Nido.
From other posts i already concluded palawan divers is THE operator there, how many days for diving/island hopping would you advice...? Any suggestions for budget accomodations (not miniloc price range heheheh)? Are there also some cool murk dive sites there? (still want to see some cool critters like flamboyant cuttlefish, blueringed octo's)
Does anyone has experience diving in Port Barton? (from the pix it also seemed very nice to have a stop over there)
Anyway, salamat in advance
Jelle (and Cherryl)
