Unfortunately my plans for a dive trip to the Philippines in mid-2014 went awry, however I've booked in a slightly shorter trip of 11 days across the start of February 2015!
As I've only got 11 days, I would prefer not to lose too much time travelling (and not being forced to wait for a 24 hour SI before flying).
My plans are to fly in and out of Manila (doing some sight-seeing) and visit up to 3 dive destinations.. Im incredibly keen on doing a whale shark interaction in Donsol (and potentially a dive at the Manta Bowl) to get my kick of big things Have any members had experience doing the interaction?
My proposed itinerary is:
It would be great to get some feedback on this itinerary. Would you suggest changing some dates? Splitting my accommodation between Puerto Galera and Sabang? Do any members have recommendations of dive shops/dive resorts/accommodation?
Ill be a solo male traveller; and while Im not going to be going for budget options, I dont want to break the bank either.
Thanks in advance!
