I'm planning on leaving for the philippines in 2 weeks to get my nitrox, efr, rescue and divemasters and I'm torn between staying in coron, bohol, or dumaguete for the 2 months that I'm going to be there. Apo Reef and Dauin look great and there seems like there's a lot to do in Dumaguete. More intreasted in bigger fish and reef diving. Any ideas?
 
You're leaving in two weeks time and you haven't planned anything yet?

not everything considering I'm going solo.. usually play it by ear but regardless Im flying into Manila and was just wondering what the best place to stay and consistently dive for about a month and a half..
 
Besides Apo Island Dauin is mostly muck diving. For reef diving Bohol has some good reefs, and you might look into Puerto Galera which has excellent reef diving. Do you have an end purpose for getting your divemaster cert?

1. I assumed your have obtained two months stay visa. And if you are thinking to extend the usual 30 days entry free visa then make sure you have quick access to the nearest passport office.
2. Apo Island and Apo Reef is miles apart.
3. You are better of to stay at Visayas because there are several good diving places to explore.

Have a nice trip and please do not forget to post a trip report.
