it's not supposed to be...
usually you'll get the usual scattered showers OR occasional storm but since it's heading towards december it should be generally clear - but the water is tending to get colder if that's worth anything

not to be a wet blanket but we had unseasonally late typhoons up to december last year. my flight to bohol was cancelled because of a typhooneone weekened in december and when we finally got to bohol the following week, we got stranded because of another typhoon.
Liberty01:
Some people consider it typhoon season thru December because of the off chance of the odd storm. It also doesn't take a full on typhoon to throw off the transportation system. So far I've been lucky. I did go to S. Leyte last year at in November and didn't have problems although the inclement weather fit around my travel days quite nicely. I have had to take a bus from Dumeguette to Cebu City because they shut down ferries due to typhoon weather.
I'm planning on a trip this year November for Malapascua and Cabilao Islands. Good luck and plan for alternate timelines or locations just in case.

In 2005 my wife and I went to the Philippines in late Oct. it was raining all the time, until the last week of Oct. Then it's like someone turned of the water and was sunny most of the time with only a few showers.
Nov shouldn't be a problem for you, but there is always a remote chance!
Be sure to write about your trip. My wife and I are going back next Feb., and may run down to Bohol. We'll be in Cebu for a week, Feb 9-16.

WOW! thats quit a trick! Dumagete is on Negros Is. and Cebu is a nearby Is. I don't know of any bus service connecting Islands. The engines tend to flood.

With the way the weather's acting right now, nobody really knows. We're supposed to be in the middle of rainy/windy (Habagat) season but other than the occassional rainshowers it's blue skies, calm seas, and great diving here in Dumaguete.
