But Pirate Divers not offering tech. Got this reply today

Thanks for this info! I'm now booking with both Gunter and Pirate Divers. 3 days and 4 days of diving.

We will do something similar I think. This has been really helpful. Great info on deco too thank you.

Can I ask when it was you dived Calibao? I'm in Panglao now. May skip Calibao. Going to give Anda a go. Will report back Have just booked in with Gunter at ddivers. He seems like a good guy for Coron. Did you dive for Threshers pre Covid? They have moved from Monad Shoal to Kimud Shoal...

Certainly did eat at Guerrera. Also recommend : Saforey italian restaurant FarmHouse pizza J&A fishpen Utopia cafe for coffee or sunset drinks And... Doas Plant Based Kitchen (my personal favourite)

You'll be fine there. I think they just messed up a bit because of the busy Easter week. Just be very clear with them what you want from your dives

I used the atm near to JPH Resort no problem. But common to pay by transfer e.g. wise or revolut. Ask your dive centre before you travel... paying cash means carrying a lot of money! Evolution you could get private guide. Cant remember price but was told it was affordable. Not sure about others.

Yes you can get a car and driver. Very easy to arrange. I think I spotted a ca rental place in Mambajao if you prefer to drive yourself.

Useful info! I'm thinking of diving with Gunter, but wondering if may be better with Pirate. Would you recommend one over the other? Many thanks

I think Centrals has covered it. I’ll add that you need to book your dive centre in advance if it’s Easter or Christmas i.e. when it’s really busy. Particularly if you are diving with Evolution, which you absolutely should because they’re awesome. Note that Evolution (and others) generally give...

April 2024: So…. We visiting Camiguin Island to meet two non-diving friends for a holiday. Wow, what a beautiful island. It’s less visited than many other Philippines destinations but is a bit of a hidden gem. The downside is the diving isn’t as good as other locations, but there is still some...

Dived with Souldivers. Four dives only as have to move on. If i had some time i probably would have done two more only. I’ll leave a TR in another thread. Your doing your DM in Sabang, PG? There appears to be quite a range of quality in the dive centres there. We’re heading back there next...

Very helpful indeed. Thanks! I’m on the fence with Cabilao. We’ve been told not to bother, and also that it’s worth it. Same with Anda. We may well just go and check them out to decide for ourselves unless we significantly extend our stay in Panglao. We will wait and see :) And interesting...

You’re welcome! Average water temps for our dives were between 26 and 28 deg C (sorry if you are in Farenheight). We also did Kalanggaman Island and Gato Island day trips. These were good, but i wouldn’t have visited Malapascua if this was the only diving. It’s the sharks that make it, but it’s...

Just don’t expect much for the Aabana free breakfast. We decided to take our breakfast at Evolution instead :)

Anyone dived Bohol, Cabilao? Thanks in advance

Why were you getting featherstars on you? They don't normally swim into divers

ACCOMMODATION: Evolution Resort is good quality accommodation and very comfortable. Their Craic House [bar and restaurant] is very good also. We booked a deluxe room (P5,500 per night) as the standard rooms were all booked out. I would really recommend staying here unless you need somewhere...

Some positives with Sea Explorer are that you get your own place for storing and hanging your diving equipment. And our request to set up own equipment was met :) I’m sure in their less-busy times the service would be better, but as it was we were not impressed. If you prefer a more lively scene...

We booked with Sea Exporers for 3 days diving due to Evolution being fully booked. We had to pay full price in advance. Sea Explorers is a busy dive centre with bars, restaurants and accommodation nearby. It’s in the middle of the ‘busy beach’, meaning there is plenty of choice of foid etc...
