Exotic Island - Safari, anyone done it?

[chem]

As a follow-up or side-thread of http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/philippine-paradise-divers/266523-transport-malapascua-negros.html we came across the option of a Diving Safari with Exotic Island Dive & Beach resort.

Has anyone here done that trip? Is it worthwile? Has anyone done a "safari" on the same type of boat? How "comfy" is it?

i haven't done anything like that but they're pretty spartan - no airconditioning, bare minimum for baths

but i hear they're really great in an outdoorsy/ rugged sort of way - you can sleep literally under the stars if you want to

Chem, haven't done it but the itinerary looks really nice. The South itinerary looks very interesting with Calangaman and Sogod. Been meaning to get out to Calangaman. I've seen some topside pics from some people who went out there and it's absolutely beautiful.

Unfortunately, the trip is no longer offered:

Thank you for your email and your interest in diving and staying with us here at Exotic. Unfortunately due to the recent expansion of our resort we no longer offer the 2-3 day dive safaris, instead we offer 1 day safaris.
These trips leave the resort around 5am and include 3 dives at different locations, a BBQ lunch and a return sunset cruise to the resort around 7pm.
We head north towards Maripipi and South towards Camotes. The price of the safaris is dependant on diver numbers and location but average between 5000-7000Php/diver. We only take advanced divers on these trips.

As a future reference, that's roughly € 100.
