I went earlier in the year and used Evolution Dive Resort, can't say enough good things about them very safe practices and professional. Plus a nice small resort with bar and restaurant on premises. If flying into Cebu and have a the money the resort can book a private van to take you North followed by your own water taxi that drops you right on resort beach front it costs about 100 dollars but well worth price. I did return trip by moped with gear to ferry, then moped to bus station for 6 hour ride to Cebu station then taxi to airport hotel and it took almost 7 hours compared to 3 to 4 by van.

I was looking into them but they never replied to my email, maybe I’ll call. Yea that option of them providing transport seems like a solid idea to save the time.

Hi Aleem,

Sorry to hear you didn't get a reply to your email. That's very unusual. If you want to give me your email address then I'll make sure you get an email with all the info you need.

Cheers,

Matt.

+1 for Evolution. Done rescue and some tec courses there. Very professional operation with very nice people.

If u get the chance make the daytrip to Kalanggaman island. Good diving and very beautiful place.

I wonder about the weather December-Feb in Malapascua. I don't mind low visibility if it means more pelagic species but don't want to be in the middle of a hurricane. Can anyone advise about this time of year? Thanks

It not that easy to say in Philippines. It look like you live in Thailand and there you have much more predictable seasons. In Philippines you can get tropical storms all year round. Most storms come July to October. In December to February it's not common to have storms but they had a few this December so you never know

Typhoon as late as Boxing Day but I never heard severe storm in Jan and Feb. However, the North East Monsoon can make the boat journey uncomfortable.
Overall, end of Feb is FINE with me.
