I´m looking for advice or tips not only on diving but also on things like clothes, money, drugs i should take with me, etc,etc.


Let´s say that i'm looking for all kind of advice on the matter that can be considerer important or relevant from people that has already been there.


Thank to you all in advance!!!

Are you sure you're going? Have you checked with your hotel/liveaboard since typhoon Maysak hit on March 29?

Below is a link to a thread about the typhoon including comments from people that were recently there or were heading there. You might find suggestions for contacting someone with more current information.

The local community is very 3rd Worldish for lack of a better or more politically correct term and the storm did not help. I recommend you take want you need and not rely on the local economy for anything. You might also think about what you can take and then leave for the locals...they would be very much appreciative of extra clothes, batteries, etc.
