#itsmorefuninthephilippines is the promotional strap line for The Philippines and we couldn’t agree more. As a diving destination it is pretty hard to beat. Our recent trip saw us visit three different islands and resorts: Magic Island Dive Resort in Moalboal on Cebu Island, Magic Oceans Dive Resort in Anda on Bohol Island, and Atmosphere Resorts & Spa in Dauin, near Dumagete on the island of Negros Oriental in a trip that lasted just under three weeks including travel.
We flew with Philippine Airlines from Heathrow to Manilla and then on to Cebu, with our return flight going from Dumagete to Manilla, and then home. To maximize our diving during this multi-island trip, we used the ferry to get from island to island, so we did not need to worry about no-fly times. If you want a bit of variation on your trip, then trying out 2 or even 3 islands is a great way to get a true taste of the region.
Throughout the trip we experienced fantastic diving, with knowledgeable dive guides expertly finding us astonishing photographic subjects. From the smallest nudibranch to the largest fish in the sea, The Philippines seems to have it all. The islands offer a perfect mix of pristine coral reefs, clear blue seas and incredible marine life. If you are an underwater photographer, then you will be delighted with the photographic opportunities you can find here, be it super macro or wide angle that floats your boat.
