Hi all, and merry Xmas!
I'll be travelling in the Philippines in February 2016 and I'm planning to do some diving - I'm currently an OWD and hopefully I'll take the advanced exam there.
I'll only have a limited amount of time though (two weeks, but not all devoted to diving as I also have hiking plans) so I obviously will not have time to dive everywhere. So I'll likely stay in the same general area rather than hop from one island to the next every few days. I'm hesitating between two spots:
- Mindoro, meaning mainly Puerto Galera and possibly Apo Reef.
- Cebu / Moalboal.
I gather that both spots are suitable for divers of all levels so either should be fine on that front. However, I'm having trouble finding info about the weather and diving conditions on both sites in February. Would some of you have useful tips / recommendations / opinions / etc.?
Thanks so much in advance!
