Caves in the Philippines

List,

Could anyone tell me where the nicest cave diving is being done in the Philippines. I am considering taking a trip over later this year and would like to check out some of the caves.

Hi Bruce,

I live and dive in the Philippines. While there is some cave diving here most of the "tek" diving is deep and wreck.

For more details contact Dave Ross at Tech Asia in Puerto Galera. Email Dave at info@techasia.ph. Their URL is www.techasia.ph. Dave, Sam Collett and Marc van der Poel are all excellent instructors and guides. They are one of the few Trimix shops in the Philippines.

When you contact them you can tell Dave that Drew gave you his name. If you have any problems contacting Dave let me know and I'll contact him for you.

Drew,
Thanks for the help. I did email Dave and will wait for his response.

He's normally pretty good about getting back to you. I'll be seeing Dave this weekend so I'll try to remember to mention you to him.

Gato Island off of Malapasqua was the only place I found when I was diving there. It's basicaly a swim through that goes from one side of the island to the other. nice dive but nothing tech about it...

Get in touch with Alex Santos. He is IANTD Philippines. I believe that that they are still working some spring systems down south. Mindanao area, just be careful if you go that far south in the PI.
