Weather should be getting better by then.

I would go puerto, coron, moalboal, malapascua, bohol. All places are maybe 4 days apiece with coron being only 2 or 3. Spend a coouple days in cebu between moalboal malapascua and bohol so you can dive hilutungan and nalusuan islands. Another plus for these places are that they are diving destinations so you will not have problems with lodging and food. there are a lot of dive sites that are not on the beaten path but it is a production to get there.

Hmmmm . . .

The consensus on diving the western side of luzon seems to be that the quality of lambanog is going down and your keyboard is a piece of ****. Just teasing - I really would love to hear more, there must be a lot of undiscovered diving out there!
