Hi all, i need a suggestion for 14 days diving (excluding travel) for Aisa. If i am going to schlep all the way over there (indonesia/philippines/fiji/PNG etc) i may as well max as many dives as possible. I should add that I am not looking for a '10+ night liveaboard' which offers 28 dives...i'll be taking photog rig, so really i want to max my divetime within reason. ( 4 or 5 dives a day including a nightdive) i don;' mind diving the same sites several times as i'll be photographing, but dont want to go somewhere for 14 nights where there are only 5/6 pedestrian sites..
i.e. something similar to bonaire or longer liveaboards in the carribbean where you are getting in the water at least 4x times a day for the 14 days. i did a 10 day liveaboard last year and clocked in 43 dives...that was perfect.
most of my research runs into the usual issues :
:long liveaboard, but not as dive intensive as i want. (10 days 26 dives etc.)
:dive resort but too few divesites, so people get bored after 7 days or they only offer 3 dives a day with occasional nightdive.
:suggestions to do multiple dive resorts etc, but i don't want to schlep around once i'm there.
Arenui do a 14 night 40+ dive trip, but there isn't availability...
ideally i'm looking for a reco from someone...i.e. 'i went to xxx in the philippines, was there for 7+ days, could easily have stayed for 14 and likely not gotten bored.'
thanks
