puerto galera-skuba diving

[eytch]

i miss diving!! I'm an advance open water diver... there's a lot of diving sites in the philippines...

poss30, i think you are only allowed 30ft if you're not certified...

it's nice to dive in tubbataha...

Diving in Tubbatha is seriously expensive as you need to go on a Liveaboard and you can only go at certain times of the year.

I have been to PG a few times and its fair to middling not the best.

But its probably a very good place to learn to dive as there is a myriad of Diving shops and centres

I have dived with a company called Sabang Divers

http://www.sabangdivers.com/

They looked after me very well and where very friendly, i think they are German if my memory serves me correctly.

I have been to Malapascua and dived with Bubble07 divers (not there anymore sadly) excellent place to dive.

As far as your other half is concerned, mine used to sit on the boat and play cards or chill out back at the Nipa hut.
She will be very bored but hey ho what can you do

Good luck and lets us know how you get on

I'm gonna do my advanced in the UK before going back to the Phils so I'm qualified to do some 30m wreck dives.
Of course it would be better and cheaper to do the course over there but I'd lose time doing it. I'd rather turn up with the right Padi card.
