I would book first to ensure a room. Arranging your dives with the dive shops are very easy. They are all located in Alona Beach. Just sign up and do it a day before a dive.
Reservations in Philippines are a lot of fun... most places don't need your credit card and you can get away with making 10 different bookings before making up your mind when you arrive. This is horrible over peak periods because all the good places are full up but lends flexibility if you're arriving at a less crowded time.
Hi Rick -
So you settled for a week in Alona Beach rather than hush hush around - IMHO a great decision. I like the Alona Tropical resort - its on the nicest stretch of beach, quite cheap but decent and clean little bungalows some almost directly on the beach. They have a resident dive operation, Sea Explorer, used to have Danish shop manager in 2003 and 2005, think his name was Arne. There's at least four other dive shops on the strip of beach, so look around a bit for a good price. Most of them have daily exists so just look around and if you like it, go for it. Wouldn't bother making reservations for the dives, but for the room i would (though not in the style suggested above but that's up to you). I personally like Baywatch Divers, a local owned shop. Vernon is a great guy and his son Butch will find you all the good stuff, but i reckon most dive masters will. Have fun, arie
