Tboxcar Just got back from 30 days in the P.I.`s. Wow!!! Paradise. The Philippines is the place especially if you are a single man. $20 nice htels room 2 star with a/c cable TV and a refrig in rooms. Boat dives from $10 with 45 min boat ride and DM with beverages and fruit ( Moalboal) to $16 ( same as above ) Alona Beach and Malapascua. $20 ( same as above ) Apo Island ...actually Dauin ( El Dorado and Atlantis ) was the most I paid fortanks. Rooms were $15 to $20 a night. Food ...It`s hard to spend $10 a day... really! Will go back cause of Tubbatha Reef plus 7,000 plus islands. The Filipino people are so kind...though so poor $ 2.50 USD for 8 hrs labor??? An amzing trip, I feel so grateful to have seen such amazing marine envirement. Oh yeah 80 degree water. Nice. Thrseher Sharks, Whale Sharks, Mantas,Turtles, Banded Sea Snakes, schooling barracuda and jacks in the hundreds. So many fish...that you fell like your in a museum. If you can get to the P.I.`s ... I used FF miles NW 60,000 miles ...it`s so cheap. I think I spent 2 K , 30 nights , 75 dives , 5 airfares within P.I.`s. Priceless.
