info about Dive Dojo- Puerto Gallera, Philippines

[buddy-boo]

Hi Everyone

I'm currently looking for a perfect place to do my Divemaster. I was torn between Bunaken Island in North Sulawesi (never been there before) or Philippines (did my AOW and Rescue courses there).

I looked through the forums and DIVE DOJO in Puerto Gallera came up few times. All opinions seem very positive. Unfortunately their website is under construction.

Does anyone know roughly how much the DM course costs in their centre. Also what are rough prices of speciality courses- Nitrox, deep, wreck, navigation.

Also, if you did a course with them, were did you stay/ what is the accommodation like? what are the prices?

Thanks a lot for any comments

I looked through the forums and DIVE DOJO in Puerto Gallera .... Does anyone know roughly how much the DM course costs in their centre. Also what are rough prices of speciality courses- Nitrox, deep, wreck, navigation.

From the internet, I can tell you that the nice thing about this place is that it is technically called "Puerto Galera",
but in reality it is located on Sabang Beach. That, for many reasons, is a good thing.

WOW Roatan- thanks a lot for this extensive info. I emailed them to get an exact price as it will be two of us doing the DM and specialties so I'm hoping for some discount. Thanks again!!!
