I have returned from Afghanistan with the Army and volunteered to return. Until I do I have some time. Have been to Philippines and Thailand and know that Philippines has more to offer for diving. If I have three weeks or more can someone suggest a good SAFE place for diving. Was thinking about Moal Boal and/or Malapascua as I have been there before.

I did two and a half weeks in North Sulawesi/Bunaken Island in Indonesia and would definitely recommend that as a great dive trip. I flew into Manado from Kuala Lumpur (you can also fly there from Singapore) stood for a few days in some rustic accomodations and did a few days of rain forest trekking in Tangkoko Nature Reserve. From there you could dive the Lembeh Strait (I didn’t but regret not doing it) which is some of the best muck diving in the world, and then you could dive the Bunaken Marine Reserve (which is phenominal). If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask, I’d be more than happy to share other specifics of my trip if interested.

As a travel professional I would make these 2 suggestions for your trip to the Phillipians. You have plenty of time to do both places if you have 3 weeks off. If you need rates just let me know. affordabletrips [ at ] gmail.com
