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 and acquiring a Night Diver specialty certification 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.
