Philippines trip blog

Post by renoun »

I just read a great bit of blogging by Allison (a SF Bay area diver who usually writes about BAUE charters and shore diving around Monetary plus the occasional Florida cave trip) about a trip to Atlantis Puerto Galera in the Philippines last Aug. Lots of interesting critter photos and some commentary on the couple days of GUE friendly tech diving they enjoyed in addition to the resort diving. Any resort offering five dives a day that will feed you lumpia :burntchef: sounds like fun to me. Defiantly worth some cyber diving when you have some time to read it all.

I love Allison's blog, because she's so honest about everything -- and of course, I know her and Rob, too.

You don't have to think. You just go. Must dive places to go in the PI.
Tubbataha Reef
Malapascua Island, Cebu
Puerto Galera, Mindoro
Anilao, Batangas
Balicasag Island, Bohol
Apo Reef, Negros Oriental
Palawan's Surrounding Island
Boracay, Aklan

I've been to Malapascua, Puerto Galera, Apo Reef, Boracay, and Balicasag Island.

The Philippines is absolutely #1 on my to-do list of diving destinations. I had an eye on a FABULOUS looking liveaboard opportunity being advertised on ScubaBoard, until my husband pointed out to me that, for the cost of getting both of us there and on the boat for ten days, we could spend over a month in Mexico . . .
