Family trip to Philippines
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2016 2:51 pm
My family is travelling to the Philippines this August -- not for diving, but to visit relatives.
I would like to stay an extra week and enjoy some of the nice diving PI has to offer. This will be diving with my son, who is 13 and a certified diver (junior open water), but not very experienced (10+ dives). My wife wants to do a Discover Dive, maybe more.
Any suggestions? I have heard a fair amount about Puerto Galera, but I don't think muck diving will be that exciting for a 13-year old who is just starting out. I would like a place with excellent reef diving and some good pelagic sightings. A dive resort with 4-star accommodations, good A/C and reliable wifi would be ideal, as my wife and (possibly) in-laws are going to be spending a lot more time onshore than my son and I.
Advice appreciated!
