Hi All,
Over the upcoming Christmas holidays, we are thinking of doing an inexpensive dive trip. Since we live in HK, we were considering Palau, Chuuk, and Raja Ampat but these options seemed better suited to a liveaboard (expensive) or had pricey airfares just to get to.
So the Philippines seemed like a natural choice. We would like to swim with the whale sharks (I assume Oslob is best for this?). Considering we only have a week, what other sites would you recommend? We were thinking Malapascua or maybe the Dumaguete area (Apo Island and Dauin?)
Although we've been to the PI many times, this will be our first diving trip here. We are not interested in macro or muck diving. Colorful reefs, good visibility, and pelagics if possible would be great!
What would you experts recommend? How are the diving conditions around this time?
Thanks!
