My LDS is putting together a trip to The Philippines - staying 7 nights at each of the Atlantis resorts (Puerto Galero and Dumaguete). They say an average of 5 boat dives a day + unlimited shore diving at Dumaguete- around $3900 (includes food and domestic transfers/flights) + the international flights from the US to MNL. Is this a decent deal? What is the diving like at these two locations? I am assuming some of them are at least long shallow dives if we are dong that many dives.
I have heard of "Muck Diving" in the Philippines, what is exactly meant by that? I google image searched, when I think of Muck diving here I think of poor viz, muddy bottoms, and not much to see. There it looks like it is creature searching, clear water, basically diving off the coral reef?
Any other advice?
thanks!!!
