I'm visiting Philippines mid-December this year probably coming from Sabah (Sipadan) and looking for a good package deal for scuba diving. I did some research on the dive sites and Malapascua Island Thresher Sharks are definitely on the list. However, considering the season and if I want to get the best out of Philippines scuba diving wise what would be your recommended itinerary? I think I can spend up to 1,5 weeks, maybe 2 in the country and the main interest is water sports (scuba diving, surfing) and otherwise jungle safaris and nature. Not so much interest in staying in big cities. For scuba diving pig pelagics would be most interesting but high level macro is ok as well.
