Have a look at Kontiki dive safaris...I put a trip report on here a while back...

Speak to Kevin Underwood at Kaba Kaba.. No one knows more about the diving in Coron than him.. And he has good budget rooms as well if needed.

I posted a detailed trip report on exactly this a couple of years ago!!!

Absolutely worth going to!!! Napanthau is a fantastic site. Stayed a Pete's Dive Resort. Very comfortable. Was travelling alone. Not much to do at night, but there is a local pub just up the road for a beer and good food. Take a flight to Tacloban, over night in the new Go hotel there, and...

I have spent several months in the Philippines over a few trips, and covered most of the popular and not so popular diving areas. I have been to PG four times, and would strongly recommend it. It is a beautiful place. The longest I have spent there is nine nights or so, which has always...

I have visited Borneo Malaysia on two occasions, and dived once at Sipadan. It is a beautiful island and should be on any divers wish list... 800m drop just of the beach is impressive. I did two days diving around Sipadan, a total of eight dives, which I think was sufficient. It is also...

I have dived Verde Island on two occasions with a gap of three years between visits. My last trip was earlier this year, and it was a lot better than I remembered... Perhaps because my skill level was greater. The visibility is stunning.. On a par with the Red Sea.. 50 to 60m.. Which is unusual...

A terrible account to read, but also very moving. Very best wishes to your girlfriend for her continued recovery, and to you also.

I am writing this from Peter's Dive Resort. I have been here two days, staying in a deluxe cottage. The cost is p1600 per night. In comparison to other resorts in the Philippines, I would rate this room quite highly. The room is big, with two single beds, air-con and a large ceiling fan...

When researching my recent trip to the Philippines, I was struggling to find any information regarding the dive safari offered jointly by Savedra Dive Centre in Moalboal, and Easy Diving in Sipalay. I hope the following report will prove useful to others contemplating the same trip. We left...

You will see whale sharks in Donsol for sure, but in February maybe expect to have to make more than one trip into the bay. A friend of mine ran Giddys place in Donsol for a year or so... They saw mantas regularly in the bowl, but not every trip. I understand that it was not always possible to...

That's a very difficult question to answer!! I have been to both, and am going back to both in a month or so. Last went to Coron three years ago, and have heard that it is a little more developed now... The locals were just finishing surfacing the road from the airport to Coron town back then...

The first thing to note about PG, or more specifically Sabang Beach and Big and Small Laguna, is that it is a very compact resort; a brisk walking pace will take you from end to end in 15 minutes or so. This means that wherever you find to stay, you will never be far from the dive centres...

Great pictures... Thanks for sharing... Deliberating whether to visit Leyte in February... These shots have gone a long way to persuading me!

Thanks for that Andy... Looks like I was just unlucky... Will try again next year... And dive with Atlantic this time.. Especially if they can offer some photo/ muck dives as well...

Can anyone confirm whether the New York is diveable at the moment... I visited Subic in March and it was closed.. Would still like to do this dive, and will be back in the Philippines in February... Thanks

I have booked a trip on Goyo in February... But, like you, cannot see any trip reports here...

An easy option if you are a little unfamiliar with getting around might be to use the travel services from Swagman Hotel, in Ermita, Manila. They obviously offer rooms, but also a free transfer to and from the airport, although thre Swagman Hotel is quite well known amongst freelance taxi...

Hi there.. I dived Sipadan with ScubaJunkie in 2011. Whilst there, there was some concern about some of the resorts not using all their permits (or something). Inside the entrance hut, they have a list breaking down the 120 permits into the various dive operations. The guide asked me to take...
