SeaQuest closed in Nov/2023. They said they're taken over by Ocean Passion. I'm trying to find out about the dive ops, and resorts in Moalboal. There are surprisingly many, but most don't have a website, some have a facebook page.

I understand Manta Point can have lots of boats/divers, and Crystal Bay with currents. May not be good diving conditions, and definitely not for my wife to try snorkeling there. We have to rethink our trip. Maybe no diving/snorkeling, just enjoy Bali and sightseeing.

My wife and I are flying to Taiwan in early/2024, back to Toronto in mid-March. We'd like to go to Bali for 5-7 days and stay at Marriott hotel(s). I hope to get dive and see mantas. I understand Manta Point at Nusa Penida is the place to go. I heard Jan-Feb are rainy and viz may not be...

I have similar questions to the OP, as my wife (non-diver, maybe snorkel) and I are flying to Taiwan in Jan/2024. Our son just got married to a Filipino girl (in Toronto) whose family is from Cebu, they keep on saying we need to go to Cebu for a few days. So we'll probably go to Cebu for a few...

For Thr., 2023.12.7, I was picked up on time at 8am, then picked up another diver shortly, then Chris, and more tanks. Chris said there will be 5 divers to meet us at Dos Ojos. All the other 6 people booked with Chris directly, only I booked with ScubaCancun. They either dove with Chris...

For Tue., 2023.12.5, I went for a day of 2-tank cenote diving. It was a Chac Mool. There are 3 sites there, we did Little Brother, and Air dome, from the same entrance. The 3rd site was Kukulcan. I was picked up at 8:10am (supposed to be 8) by Cesar in a ScubaCancun van. There was one other...

This is to report back on my trip. Our stay at Westin Resorts & Spa Cancun was good. As a Plat we got upgraded, and comp'ed breakfast. Cancun's restaurant prices were surprising high, but the local buses were frequent and inexpensive (just less than US$1) On Mon. 2023.12.4, my wife and I...

A few days ago I did book with Scubacancun for 1 day 2-tank diving at MUSA (underwater museum), with my wife snorkeling 2 days of 2-tank cenote diving. Thanks for all the comments/advise. Too bad I didn't know of Manta Drivers before, to inquire with them. I don't know if I'll like 2 days of...

Thanks lexvil I just found Scubacancun can pick up for Cenote diving. Ha, but not for diving out of Cancun. Anyone with recent experience with them? I'm asking them about two days of cenote diving. Maybe one more day of boat diving with my wife coming as snorkeler or she can just watch (or...

Seems like the cenote diving are a bit far from our hotel. I'll need to get to at least PDC, or further south, in early morning. I'm trying to find out affordable transportation. As for excursions to ruins, we signed up for Chichen Itza + cenote swimming. Was just told 7am pick up, so early.

My wife and I will fly to Cancun on Sun., Dec. 3/2023, to stay 6 days in Westin Resort & Spa Cancun (Boulevard Kukulcan Km 20.5 Cancun). I'm a casual warm-water AOW with about 200 dives, and have dove in Cozumel a few times but first time in Cancun. My wife is non-diver, can snorkel (have own...

Good videos especially the first one, thank you. I'm going to Taiwan in early/2024. My wife is a non-diver, maybe can do some snorkeling. I've dove in 2008 in Kenting, and Green Island. There were not too many dive ops around at that time. Sounds like things have developed better.

Thanks Dan. Good to know the chance to see mantas is very good. I was originally from Taiwan. After living in Canada for >40years, I still don't like the cold, and gets cold easily. I'm warm water diver. Sounds like I'll need at least 5mm, with hood. I thought Bali is supposed to be...

The mantas look amazing. I dove in Kona and saw mantas in a night dive. Yours is in day light. I'm thinking to go to Bali in early March/2024. Would there be chance to see mantas, and I guess my 3mm won't be warm enough?

Thanks. Any ops you can recommend in Moalboal?

My wife and I would like to go (from trip to Taiwan) to Cebu/Manila in 2024, end of Jan. or Feb. I'd like to get a few dives in, so from Manila adding a couple of days to Subic Bay is a possibility. Ideally if my wife can come on the boat as a snorkeler or just watch, that'd be the best. Or...

My wife and I are thinking to go (from our trip to Taiwan) to Cebu/Manila next year 2024 at end of Jan., or sometime in Feb. I'd like to get a few dives in if possible. So I'm following this thread with interest. How do you arrange transport from Cebu to Apo Island? Getting a boat for my...

Thanks for the responses. I'm just starting the research, and didn't know whale shark tourism is controversial. It sounds like Cayman Island and stingrays. So many tourists, including cruise ship tourists, go to Cayman Island for the stingray excursion. PADI lists Philippines as one of the...

My kids went to Cebu for a wedding. From there, they, they did a tour to Whale Shark swimming and boasted about it. My wife and I are going to Taiwan in early 2024 (from Canada). We'd like to take a side trip to Cebu and Manila. Are there good places to go for whale shark diving for me, and...

Thanks everyone. We're going to stay at Soma Bay Sheraton. It sounds nice, especially for my non-diver wife. Oh, the hotels did respond. For Soma Bay Sheraton, the upcharge for dinner is U$30/p/n, for all-inclusive is U$70/p/n; For Hurghada Marriott, the upcharge is lunch $20.25/p/n, dinner...
