Hi everyone,
I'm looking to spend around 6-8 weeks during July and August travelling through Asia with the primary goal of diving. Initially I planned to do a dive master internship but after reading several threads here it seems like this is not the right call for my goals: gaining experience (currently I have completed 40 dives), improving as a diver and having a good time without the intention of working in the industry. Therefore I now consider to travel through the region in order to dive in many different conditions with the opportunity to complete some advanced courses.
Ideally the recommended dive sites would be relatively well connected so that I don't have to spend several days in transit. Living and transit cost shouldn't be too high either. I am mostly interested in seeing bigger marine-life (turtles, manta rays, sharks etc.). Further I have already been diving on Bali (Tulamben) and Sipadan so I don't necessarily need to return there. My idea so far was to focus on the Philipines and Indonesia but I'm open to all suggestions!
Thanks in advance!
