bubblemonkey:we dont want to stay in resorts we are seasoned Asian travellers and would be happy with a guest house and a decent dive shop/op.
bubblemonkey:my wife will be looking out for the big stuff, but really we like being in the water full stop.
the only diving we are not huge fans of is current diving (to much like hard work) although drift is fine.
we are both advanced divers with close to 100 dives, well over 100 by the time we get to you guys.
if any of you can recomend any dive centers and or places to stay around PG and the Visayas that would be awesome, we are on a budget and lets say around $10 a day for acomodation.
what sort of price is a dive in the PI?

Ben_ca:You could stay at Paolo's house I think it meets Aussie standards..... But the ghost of the rooster might keep you up....
rhadamantus:PG dives are usually around US$20-22. some resorts have packages if you dive 3 dives a day (it will cost you US$45 for 3 dives, own equipment) or if you do 7 or more dives with them for the duration of your stay.
big apple dive resort accommodation is around US$10-20 a night, depends on the kind of rooms you are staying and how long you are staying with them. they have free wifi too .
