Hi all,
I am planning a solo diving trip to the Philippines this April with flights booked to Cebu arriving early morning on April 20 and leaving midday on April 30.
Currently I am researching my options on where to dive and which places to visit and to say the least, I am totally overwhelmed!
I am an AOW diver for about 6 months now with dive experience in Thailand (Koh Tao) and Bali (Amed). Which places/islands would you recommend to visit?
I want to visit Malapascua for sure, for the threshers mainly and also Dauin since I read it's another great place in the Cebu area. I know it takes a day to travel between Malapascua and Dumaguete but I am willing to do this (private transfers) if I do get a better diving diving experience than Alona beach or Moalboal which are closer.
Another option would be to spend my time in El Nido & Coron but I am not sure this is worth it since I am reading everywhere that diving in Cebu is better than Palawan.
I also came across Dive Safaris but I'm not sure if this a good idea - what do you think and do you have any operators to suggest? I am not sure this is something for me since I am on my own and would also like to be able to spend some time after diving relaxing and not traveling around all the time.
I would like to book my trip before I arrive since my time in the Philippines is limited and the Easter period might be quite busy. I would be grateful if someone could help me out with suggestions and further ideas!
Thank you
