Hi,
I just got my PADI open water, and will go for my advanced Open water this week (mainly for the peak performance buoyancy and night diving), but most of my dives have been training dives, so I do not have a lot of experience, yet.
I booked a trip to the Balicasag Island dive resort in the Philippines a few months ago.
It was meant to be a quick, romantic, 4 day get-away trip for snorkeling and sunset dinners etc., but since then I decided to go for padi quals., so now it has become an unexpected diving trip.
Has anyone been there and have any advice? My web searches show that there is a lot of deep water with steep coral walls.
I know I am not ready for wall diving, yet. So, is it also possible to simply dive above the walls and avoid hovering over the deep blue yonder?
Any dive sites I should avoid, and any that would be acceptable for a beginner?
