Okay, I know that July isn't the best time to come diving, but...

My brother's wedding is July 11, and I'm hoping to get some diving in too.

My time for the week before the wedding is totally un-structured, so are there any areas/islands that might be more protected from bad weather that I should start looking at?

I'm not looking for guarantees, but I would be heartbroken to fly all the way over here, and not get to dive.

Thanks everyone.

Consider Sogod Bay. When I was there in February, I was told one of the best times to dive there was during our summer. You can try sending Sogod Bay Scuba Resort an email for more info.

where's the wedding? Visayas is relatively protected from the typhoons. You can even go South to Davao if you're really worried about the weather. I've dove during July and it's not entirely bad weather.

yup. no typhoons in davao.

Subic Bay provides calm, sheltered diving in most weather conditions and times of year.

The wedding is in Tarlac City on Luzon, but I'm assuming that flights/boats between the islands can be had.

Subic via the new SCTEX hiway is just 30 mins. away from Tarlac City. And there's Anilao in Batangas (3 hours from Manila) and Puerto Galera, Mindoro (4 hours from Manila including ferry ride), of course.
