Jason, it was very tempting to adopt you too because you can teach me tech and CCR.

Any old fool can dive, what you need is a decent wingman for a son:eyebrow:

Below is a link to a report that I put together for my Visayas trip last September. It seems like some minor problems have occurred with the HTML coding since the time that I posted it, but it should still give you some decent tips.

If you go to Southern Leyte I highly recommend the new Sogod Bay Scuba Resort. I went back this past March and have nothing but good things to say.
 
Hi again all.
Our plan is getting more detailed and the trip is getting very close (next week).
I need your help in planning Negros.
We are planning to dive in APO ISLAND and DAUIN. Should we stay at DAUIN (we thought of EL DORADO BEACH RESORT), dive there and do boat dives to APO ? or should we stay in DAUIN and also stay in APO (Liberty's Lodge)?
In addition, how much time is enough to spend in this place ?
 
I was just in the area a couple weeks ago. I was staying at Atlantis resort up in Dumaguete. I think I saw El Dorado (looked nice). Apo Island is only 30min away by bangka. I can't say how the resorts on Apo Island are but noticed a few people (including Westerners) who were using Apo Island based diving ops

How much time? Hmm I guess it depends on what type of diving you like? Do you like muck diving looking for little critters on sloping black sand or do prefer drop offs with schooling jacks and other large fish ? I only did 1 day (3 dives) on Apo Island and approx 2 days in the Dumaguete area. If I go back, I would prefer to spend more days diving Apo Isl. (I prefer big stuff and wide angle shots). That being said, there are some really interesting little stuff around Dauin and further up to Dumaguete.
