Anyone Dive in Mactan Cebu

[Jason Ooi]

Hi folks,

Anyone dive in Mactan Cebu mid month Nov, I will be in Shangri-la Scotty's dive shop on 17 till 27 Nov.
How the water temperature? Do you thing 5mm wetsuit is good.

5mm wetsuit is too thick for the warm waters of cebu. unless you're planning dives that will take more than an hour. 3/2mm suits are best for anywhere in the Philippines. plus a hood from december to january.

3 mm will be fine, since you still have some fat in your body. if you are diving rebreather, make sure you dive and enter Marigondon Cave (big, dive there 15 years ago when their is not much restriction, will a 8O Al tank) plenty of flashlight fish inside, I even done night dive there, at 40 m, then hang out at the ledge around 45 m, with rebreather, wait 30 min, sure u will see big thing belong. enjoy you dive.
