Yes : ) the briefing at the tents where you get the permits has improved greatly ! Fantastic! I think that it helped when I showed some of the pictures and videos I took to some people that could make a difference and help improve the process. The divers that come by boat enter the water from...

this is merely stating the obvious You guys that run dive tours to Tan Awan - please brief your customers in advance - you shouldn't have to tell them not to try to grab these sharks by the tail - really Scuba and Snorkeling | Philippines cheers dp

great pic above ! I spent 3 weeks there in Tan Awan and was surprised at how unprofessional some of the dive boats ran their scuba dives. Here are some pictures in my blog - amateur at best - but I just had to get a few pictures of scuba divers grabbing on to the whalesharks - I saw one diver...

Weekends can be a bit much but I must admit that snorkeling in that area when there are no dive boats or other snorkelers is really beautiful. Chinese New Year was hectic and weekends are crowded. I have seen as many as 9 dive boats there at one time - there are buoys outside the sanctuary...

Spotting whalesharks is more iffy in Sogod bay and as already stated above the water there is crystal clear. If you want a 100 percent guarantee of seeing the whale sharks it would be best to go to Donsol in Feb or March. I have seen them in Donsol every month from November til April but was...

Hi pughio83, I am assuming that you realize that it is snorkel and mask only in Donsol Bay? Scuba is not allowed in the bay itself. For sure stay in Donsol. Hernandez and Santiago lodging houses are the cheapest and quite nice. Donsol is kind of a neat town. I have had the pleasure of...

Maybe stay in Dauin and dive Apo? I did a webpage about Mikes Place Mike is really a trip and it is worth meeting him just to hear his stories.

spot on mroding, It's easy to get a group of 7 for the snorkeling in the nearby Donsol Bay Donsol Whaleshark Center Donsol Whale Shark Center - Philippines The cost lands up being only around 11 USD each if you can get 7 snorkelers together, if you rent fins and mask that will be an...

rab1412000 if I remember correctly the F4 is around 42-43 meters I am not much of a diver but it was not a difficult dive. The impressive thing to me, was how good Johanns divemaster was at finding the wreck with his gps. He flipped the anchor over with perfect timing and we saw it on the...

I dove a few times with Johann's. It seemed pretty cool - the food is good. The F-4 was the most interesting to me. I did a web page about the place that is outdated but if anyone wants to add any new info - it would be appreciated. Wreck Diving Subic Bay - Philippines thanks dp

I am not an active diver but am familiar with Sogod Bay and Puerto Galera. Puerto Galera (Sabang) will most likely be cheaper than diving in Sogod Bay. Here are some pictures of the dive shops in Southern Leyte near Padre Burgos. Leyte Scuba Diving - Philippines One drawback to the area around...

Hi MissElaine, I was in Donsol a few weeks ago and can say the the whaleshark season has started. In the bay itself snorkeling is allowed but scuba diving is not. I saw 7 whale sharks on Dec 1 and was passing through again on dec 17 and 18 while on the way to see the Mayon volcano. I put...
