Hello,
Im planning my 3rd trip to PI and have dove before at Subic, Anilao and PG. i am thinking of staying north of manila this trip. can anybody tell me how good is scuba diving near pangasinan? Patar Sanctuary? UP Marine(Santiago Is.), Silaki Is. , Bolinao Sanctuary?? How about near La Union??

From what I've heard, the diving is going to be better if you go south, rather than north. Maybe someone who has actually dived up there can comment. I've made web searches for diving in the north and get very little coming up.

Have you thought about the Visayas?

Plans have changed drastically being as I had to use my timeshare points before they expired! Im arriving July 12 and will be spending time back down in Batangas/Anilao area.

For 1 week I will be staying in a hotel in Batangas (not on the beach) so im looking for suggestions for day-trips for diving. What organization would be good for picking me up at my hotel in Batangas and taking me to their resort to do a full day of diving? Any suggestions?

Here's hoping for some good weather in July!
