Getting wet is never an issue for a scuba trip. But we do love the sun, don't we?
How about flying into Cebu City and then try to find out which area is least affected by weather?
Aug is low season so I do believe advance reservation is usually not necessary.

I agree, just fly into Cebu then take it from there based on weather.
I was in Bohol and Moaboal last week of August 2011. Except for Oasis in Bohol, everyone had availability on Alona beach. I had many room choices just showing up. In Moalboal I had seen very few people. Is was pretty dead last August in Moalboal.

Davao and General Santos.
Dived Davao once and have a mixed feeling. The sites are miles away but some of them are pretty good. Have to pay the boat all by myself because I was the only customer during the week-day, weekend is better.
Dived Gen San twice and stay with Chris(Tuna City) and Paul(South Point) on seperated occasion. South Point offers the best location and the best site(my opinion) of Tinoto Wall. The resort is nice but too remote from anything. Dive, eat and sleep!!
Do check with the general weather pattern in Aug. Southern Mindanao is supposed to be typhoon free.
BTW, I wonder if Uncle Sam has issued travel warning to Mindanao?
I have been warned not to go to Cotobato but NOT Davao and Gen San.
Don't take my words for it, it is your trip.
I have dove in Davao twice now near the Pearl farm resort. OK diving. Never been to Gen Santos. Gen. Santos is getting very close to the touble area of Zamboanga. I might try Leyte or Siquijor. Then I can do Dumaguete and Moalboal and Alona Beach again. I will only have 2 to 3 weeks total. I also thought about going to Siargao for some surfing and maybe fishing? But it is just a thought?
