Hello fellow Divers – We are hoping if you, or someone you know, might be interested in taking our place on an April 27th to May 7th dive trip to Anilao in the Philippines. This is a photo dive trip with Blue Water Photo. Unfortunately, due to sudden and unexpected health issues we are forced to cancel our drive trip. As this is a non-refundable trip, we’re looking to sell our spaces in the hopes of minimizing our losses. We’ve been planning this trip for quite some time, so having to cancel at this point is somewhat mentally devastating.

Anilao, Philippines has some of the best macro photography in the world – blue ring octopus, hairy frog fish, flamboyant cuttlefish, and numerous varieties of nudibranchs. The cost we paid for the trip is $4796 and it includes 10 nights shared accommodations, 36 dives (including night dives), all meals, resort taxes, and nitrox for all dives.

The benefit of going through Blue Water Travel is they have booked the entire Crystal Blue Resort and, as result, received a group discount price. Also, there will be 2 Blue Water Photographers participating on the trip and will be rotating through the boats to help improve your photography. The Guide to diver ratio is 1:2 and there are no more than 4 divers on a boat.

We are attaching the link to the Blue Water trip details page. If you are interested please contact us so we can coordinate the details of transferring the room to you. Otherwise, they will likely make yours a new booking and we won’t be able to recover our costs.

Too bad you didn't purchase trip insurance! GLWS...that price is for two I assume?
 
Price is the total for both spots.
 
We are looking for $4200 (with Nitrox) or $4000 (without Nitrox) USD (OBO) which covers two people. This is a savings of nearly $600 over what you would pay if you booked directly through Blue Water Photo. Not included are transfers ($100 round trip from Manila airport), and airfare. These can be coordinated directly with Blue Water Photo.

Payment can be made to us via PayPal and we can coordinate transfer of our reservation to you with Blue Water Photo. Or, if you are more comfortable, we can let Blue Water Photo know you are taking our spot and you can pay Blue Water Photo directly.
 
Seriously, if you are interested in going, please make us a reasonable offer. We would like to get $3500 ($USD) w/o Nitrox - or OBO. If possible, we'd like to find someone no later than Wednesday (March 22nd) because we will not be as responsive/online after this date.
