Hi
Am looking into our first dive vacation in the philippines so really need some help. We can only go in october but have around 21 days to enjoy it. Seriously looking at Sabang beach as have found a lot of good info on this site about it (thanks), but now have found out about a possible side trip to Pandan island. Looked it up in the lonely planet and the resort web site and sounds like a great place to chill out and do some great diving especially if we can get out to Apo reef. Can anyone pass on some first hand knowledge about this....is it worth a week. Also what would you recommend as the best way to get there. We are probably flying into manila..i am thinking of heading to Pandan first to relax and then on to Puerto Galera/ Sabang for a bit more "noise"
Will the resort arrange all transport to the island from Manila or would it be better to get to Puerto galera and then make our way to Pandan. Not really excited by long road trips unless there is something to see on the way.
Any one stayed at the resort....any tips on things to take , what the accomodation is really like food etc would be a great help.
Is it possible to get to Apo reef in October...would you reccomend day trip or overnight. Whats it really like?????
Also anything else to do while down that way???
Sorry for the zillion questions.
Hope someone can pass on their wisdom
Really really excited about getting there
Thanks in advance
