Hi,
I'm in the midst of planning a first trip to philippines but I'm a bit stuck on plans for Coron.
In reading many threads, Discovery Divers sounds like a great dive op - I do want tech options.
However, I am struggling with the accommodation setup. Some questions below that will help me:
1) Is DD based about an hour out of Coron town and therefore closer to dive sites
2) The 2 main accom options look more luxurious than i'm after and not diver focused (I'm travelling solo and prefer smaller resorts where its easier to chat to people in the evenings) - is this correct? anyone stayed at these and have feedback (a bit out of my price range)?
3) whilst i know there are budget options suggested on website (e.e pierhouse palace) one has had terrible trip advisors review - any comments from SBers?
4) For those that have used DD - where did you stay and where would you recommend? How does it work if in Coron town?
5) any other dive op recommendations? I've looked at sangat island resort, but as i'll be in PI for 5-6 weeks this won't fit into the budget.
i know a lot of questions, but if anyone could advise on any of the above that would be much appreciated! I really want to dive the wrecks
Thanks!
Thanks!!
