I have had a quote for 7500php for a private transfer to get to Oslob from Maya Port. Does anyone know how much this journey would cost in a taxi - & any taxi firm you can recommend so I could book in advance ? I am not too keen on using the buses as there are just 2 of us travelling & both will...

I'm thinking of staying about 2 weeks in Sabang next year, and then thinking of about 1 week in El Nido as my friend really wants to go there. What are the travel options we have to get there ( we will have a 30kg & 20kg suitcase with us + hand carrying bags). I have had a look at a few flights...

Thanks for your replies so far. After chatting with my mate we are thinking of the possibility of Boracay. It's a location we have thought about visiting so this could be an opportunity just to check out the area in preparation for a future dive holiday. We usually have our vacation to the...

I've only got a few days before I must make a decision, so thought I would try here for a bit of help and advice please. I've been lucky enough to win 2 return flight tickets to Manila and then 2 return internal flights onto any other location with Philippine Airlines. It is only for a total of...

Do not get the Intova extension pole. The description says stainless steel, mine has corroded quite badly and is definitely NOT stainless. Shame about the rusting as it did seem like a nice long pole with a smooth action. https://www.intova.net/extension-pole/ They are supposed to be bringing...

Thanks for your reply, but we have got our accommodation booked now.

Well for better or for worse we have booked a week at Johans for next year, than you for all your help and comments. What is the money changing situation like there - are there many (or any) changers anywhere near to Johans, or will we need to travel a little bit & what are rates like there...

Thanks for all your replies, very helpful and informative. The Arizona does look quite nice, but when ever possible we like to try to get the larger rooms which puts it a bit over our intended budget at the moment same applies to the Blue Rock, so maybe we will have to increase our budget for...

I'm after a bit of information and advice if anyone can be kind enough to help us. We are going to go to Subic for 1 week in early March next year (after going to Coron), and from what I have read in here we will probably stay at Johans. We are a group of 4 adults. Is there any evening...

If you used Cebu Pacific for you flight to Dumaguete, the last flight is at 3pm. If you are lucky you might get out of terminal 1 in about an hour after landing, but it should not take more than 90 minutes. It is nearly 7km, so 15 mins if no traffic problems, but you are there @ midday so expect...

Is anyone able to help please ? Surly there must be a few other places of interest to visit on Mindoro ? Are there any other towns or villages beyond Calapan that can be reached by motorbike ?

Thanks for your reply, but at the moment I am looking for any help or suggestions for other places to visit or sights to see on Mindoro that are accessible by motorbikes from Puerto Galera. We have been there before and have visited Tamaraw Falls and been as far as Calapan, but hoping to find a...

Thanks very much for your reply Centrals, we have already been to Apo Reef a few years ago when we stayed in Coron, but we might consider another trip there again. We are also after any information about places to visit or sights to see that can be reached on motorbikes and we dont mind spending...

We will be back in Puerto Galera early in March for plenty of diving again, but are there any other must see or must do places to visit or explore ? We are thinking of hiring some motorbikes for 2 or 3 days (or longer) and hoping to visit a few different places & even staying somewhere else for...

I'm after a bit of help and advice please. We will soon be making our bookings for Feb / March 2015 and will be staying for @ 3 weeks. We will be going back to Sabang for the last half of our vacation again, but looking for somewhere different to visit for the first half. We have been to Coron...

Whale shark on the Irako (March 2014).

I was in Coron at the beginning of this month, visibility was not very good (but a lot better than the UK lol). We were lucky to see a whale shark while coming up to do our deco stops from the Irako. It stayed around us for a couple of minutes before disappearing.

Just got back from there a few days ago - water was 26C - no problem with cold & just using a 1mm wetsuit. Verde was great again as usual.

Thanks for all your replies, we have never used any anti malaria treatments previously so we will give them a miss again this time.
