    Would be great, if anybody could share their experience.

    I'm guessing this is your first child. I assume he or she is younger than a year? I don't know if it is a good idea to take a baby on a dive boat. When my daughter was 1 we went fishing out of Zihuatanejo, Mexico and as soon as we got out of the bay our daughter got sea sick. Crying, throwing up etc. My wife begged me to go back. Fortunately we had the whole boat to ourself so I was only out a fishing trip. If there had been others I would have had to pay for their trip too. Most 2 dive trips take at least 3 hours plus the time to get back and forth. It sounds like Apo will take 4.5 to 5 hours. You are traveling with your baby sitter. I assume you trust her. Take the trip, even 3 dives if you want and just enjoy yourself. Give your baby some baby benadryl that will knock her out for most of the time. She won't even know you were gone.
