Looking at doing a 2 week trip around Christmas / New Years to the amazing Philippines. Might be with a group that likes to dive, but also do other activities such as hiking, beach, history, nature, culture, etc.
Weighing Palawan vs the area around Apo/Dauin/Dumaguete/Oslob/Panglao. It seemed like the later might be easier to get to and move around with a number of different dive locations, sites, etc. Googling a bit seems to show that moving between these areas / sites is fairly easy with regular efficient transport / ferries / etc.
I went to Palawan in the late 90s and it was beautiful and amazing, but I recall that getting around the island was very challenging and that the diving was far off and probably requiring a liveaboard or long boat rides.
Any suggestions or hints appreciated.
