Philippines Shootout

September 21st, 2005

I’ve just added a new underwater gallery of the Philippines. These photos, late in coming, compliment my earlier articles about diving the Visayas from PADI. The PI ranks top on my list of dive destinations offering great value for your money. To put things in perspective: a 2-tank boat dive off of the Hawaiian island of Maui can run you upwards of $120, whereas unlimited diving costs $50 per day from Moalboal, Cebu. Did I mention that this includes Nitrox and your own personal divemaster? That’s right, 4 divers on the boat = 4 divemasters to guide you to your laundry-list of photo subjects. This is key when your stay is over the period of a week and your guide knows exactly what you’ve seen and haven’t seen yet.
