Hello everyone, I am new here and plan to be active here and in the PI dive community for a long time. Just bought a house in Zamboanga, but am currently based out of Kuwait. Here is where I need some help.
I am planning a week long dive trip the last week of April 2010. I will be leaving from Zambouanga. I will have my wife and two kids and brother in law with me, and all of my gear, so keeping travel to a minimum is my plan. My initial plan was Palawan, but no direct flights from ZAM. My second choice is APO Island. I have heard so many great things about it. I am worried about, a the trip to get there from Zamboanga, and b the kids getting bored while I am out diving. Now I am leaning towards staying in Zambounguita, but again looks like a lot of travel. I love big fish, but am just as happy checking out little critters crawling around their homes. I pretty much just love any thing underwater.
How difficult is it to get to Moalboal from CEB airport? Any one ever been there with kids? I plan to take them snorkeling and hiking. They are 6 and 9.
Any help and recommendations or just comments are welcome and appreciated, and if any one needs advice on diving in the Middle East drop me a line. I dive here in Kuwait and also in Sharm El Sheik in the Red Sea. Fantastic.
