Puerto Galera dive trip

[kelstorm]

$2000???

that would take me alot of sites than Puerto Galera

Philippine diving is not that expensive; I paid US$149 for 4d/3n accomodation, 6 dives inclusive of gears. The accomodation is a simple chalet; pool front, balcony, aircon and hot shower most important.

But i guess what keeps the expense up is air tickets.

that is very reasonable.. damned.. u are tempting me...

let's do it

darn.... im so hooked into it, ive got thoughts of giving up reef tank .....

try to imagine, without that sky high PUB bills, how often i can dive.....

btw, kel, im diving w anto next month again

budget airlines fly there; tiger air is the cheapest but it lands north of Manila which is actually near to Subic (wreck diving) while jet star asia is the best budget flight to take. But the only thing w budget airlines is u have to pay cash really early to get a good rate and by doing so, lose your flexibility in time.

giving up reefing and stick to diving?? u are tempting me... anyway, where u going with Anto??? u dove with him before?

[reefer guy]

wedgee, my budget is burnt out alright, but short trips like malaysia is ok for me. will definitely let u know if there is any plans in the near future...

just wondering.. how much does it cost to learn diving? always wanted to learn but never seemed to find the time (and money)

ervine,

I think there is a lot of topics on this matter already.. u can try looking ard in this section...

to learn open water, usually it ranges from $450-over $500+... then later ur equipment.. mind u, diving is more expensive and additive than golf...

I also want to take my advanced. Anyone else? Maybe can go together as a group.

hi Day and wedgee,

if u guys are keen, pm me and i can arrange for u ppl to take the course with the dive centre that i learnt from.. can always work out something...

me also saving up $$ for wedding.. not sure when will be the next trip...

Usually places like Aur/Dayang/Tioman are training areas where ppl either go there for courses or just to blow bubbles to cure the addiction...

Wedgee,

dun worry abt the bills from Phuket.. they will come soon.. and should be pretty manageable...

[reefer guy]

im actually completing my advance next month
