Oh, right! I had booked myself with you through another site that takes PayPal. Everything is fine, we have Visa and Amex cards with us. I think I'm going to get several hundred dollars in pesos here in New York City at a currency exchange Place, so I will have something we land in Manila...

I've had a crazy week, and not much time to consider myself a currency for a trip to the Philippines. We leave very late tonight. I'm reading that ATMs may be a problem in the Philippines. We land in Manila at 11 AM at terminal one, will take yellow taxi to terminal three for a 4 PM flight to...

Hey everybody! Thanks for all the advice. It turns out that you cannot use the website from the United States! My wife went to the Philippines travel authority here in New York City, and get the name of the travel agent in the Philippines who is incredibly helpful and lining up all our flights...

Ok, we want to get tickets for 3pm March 1st to Dumaguete. Getting into Manila at 11am. We really do not want to stay in Manila if we don't have to (it would be nice to wake up in Dauin the next day and start diving. We only have two weeks and are also going to Malapascau, so we'll loose at...

Thanks guys! Too expensive now to switch our flight to Cebu, and having a HATEFUL time with the Cebu Pacific web site! Starting another post, desperate!

Ok! I have to thank everybody for their help! One thing to clarify: we are only going to do two locations (starting with Duma, think we will spend second week at Malapascua). I think my above posting was confusing and made it sound like we were attempting to do four in two weeks. We decided...

Ok, slightly bummed that we got tickets flying into/out of Manila instead of Cebu, though I think the flights going into Cebu were getting in too late to go elsewhere anyways, and we would have spent a night in Cebu. Is Manila a worthwhile city to see for a day? (since we get in at 11am, and...

Very quick travel question: my wife and I are flying to Manila in a couple weeks for two week dive trip in the Philippines. We are getting our itinerary together, and thinking about starting things in Dauin. Our flight gets into Manila at 11 AM. There is a flight to Dumaguete at 1:20 PM. From...

Wow, thanks for the link to your videos! Looks great, after a few years of diving in the Caribbean, we are excited to return to Pacific waters!

Ok, Centrals (and others who have dived both). Would you say the OVERALL dive experience is better in Sogod than Malapascua? (While Thresher Sharks could be cool, I don't feel insanely drawn to do it. I did the manta dive in Yap, and it was ok, but even our dive master said "Ok, now that we...

Centrals, you have been a wealth of info! We really wanted to do both Malapascua and Sogod, but wondered about spending a day to do so. So now you have me back to thinking to try and do both (both seem like the most appealing areas to us). Since you post that last, it seems like a strong...

My wife and I are going to the Philippines the first two weeks of March. We had thought about trying both Malapascua and Sogod, but the journey between the two may be a bit much. We like the idea of Mala, as there seems to be beach to hang out on during off days (we like the take a day off...

Thank you for your reply, this is extremely helpful!

I'm very confused, centrals! In your original post, you suggested I contact evolution about a boat possibility (and funnily enough, I was just about to do that, but thought I would visit this post again). In your post, you also mentioned that it never takes more than a day to reach Sogod from...

Hello fellow divers! My wife and I are dying to return to SEA/South Pacific waters (we have been to Thailand three times and once to Palau/Yap, the best diving we have ever done). We have 100 dives under our belt, so somewhat experienced, and are planning on going to the Philippines first two...

Making a separate post, leaning heavy toward Malapascua and Alona beach (Sogod is tempting, but might take two days to reach there, from what I've read. Prefer to just waste one day traveling, we only have a couple weeks. Also don't mind paying for whatever is the quickest transport, but of...

Hmmmm.... I'm wondering if Dumaguete would be right for us or not. I think I need to explore more options, would love to give a something offered more of what we have seen in Thailand and Palau (we have had to dive in the Caribbean the last few years, and really want to get that South East Asian...

Have been to Palau/Yap, as well as Thailand three times, so hoping to find diving comparable. Anywas, sligtly confused by above. Dumaguete is difficult to get around so it is better NOT to stay at bungalow or hotel??? What about five days or so at Dumaguete, and then take private transport to...

My wife and I are planning a last-minute trip to the Philippines for a couple weeks at the end of February/beginning of March, and were thinking about Dumaguete, as a dive master we had in Belize told us it was some of the finest diving he had ever done (he worked there for a little while). We...

I know this seem like a silly question to more experienced divers, but how bad is the visibility/light during the rain in Micronesia? My wife and I leave for Yap this tuesday, arrive thursday night for 7 full days until we go to Palau for 13 days. So far weather sites predict rain up through...
