Hi guys
Two of us want to do about 6-7 days of diving and are a bit stuck in narrowing our list. We LOVE macro/muck diving (several times in Lembeh, Dauin etc.) but also love big stuff (Balicasag, Palau etc.) This time around our list has has very confused:
-Malapascua: Obviously we want to see the threshers, but our short itinerary really means we are going to be there for the entire trip. Is there enough other diving to keep us busy? I know there is some good macro, but enough for the remaining dives after the Threshers?
-Anilao: We have been here once before a few years ago and enjoyed it but saw nowhere near enough of the cool critters that people seem to talk about seeing there (from Mimic octopi to Rhinopias....) Maybe we just had a bad guide. But willing to give it another shot if the macro diving has been high quality. Would like advice on resorts with good spotters where we can do 4 dives a day without bottom time limits.
-Dauin; Appealing since the macro is good, but can also combine with a day trip to Balicasag/Apo island for good big stuff.
We don't get a lot of vacation time so unf dont want to take the risk this time of going somewhere and being bored with the diving. Don't really care about the nightlife etc, just want to be able to do a lot of good diving.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dauin is a known quanity for us, its more Malapascua and Anilao we'd like some advice about..
