Philippines Trip July 2020

Post by sarinae »

Just wanted to extend a warm invitation to my fellow divers to join me in Cebu, Philippines in July 2020 for a wonderful Liveaboard experience on the Seadoors ship. I am running this trip at cost just to get the boat filled with awesome Northwest folks. There is space aboard for divers and non-divers alike, this is a chill bunch. My husband snorkels and does not dive. My girls (18 and 12) will join us and they dive. So, there will be a wide variety of divers aboard. We will plan to dive Malapascua to Cagayan and hope to get some dive time with Thresher Sharks and Whale Sharks. Meals are provided aboard as well as very nice accommodations with a bathroom per stateroom.

or on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/category ... 329658141/

Join us for a 10 day + 9-night cruise with 3 to 4 dives per day. Malapascua, a tiny island 6.8 km from the northern tip of Cebu, is hugely famous for thresher sharks; it's the only place in the world where these deep-water swimmers can be seen daily. As if that's not enough to recommend it, Malapascua also offers many varied dive sites, and a laid-back island life without hustle, bustle, or cars. Liveaboards in Malapascua are the best way to combine the island with other top dive sites in the Visayas, in locations like mainland Cebu, Leyte, Bohol, Negros, and more.

Depart Cebu on July 22, 2020 1pm

Return Cebu on July 31, 2020 8am

Cost is $3250/person d/o single supplement available
Deposit: $1000

First room paid in full receives a complimentary upgrade to the deluxe stateroom!
