Dive the Philippines March 2011

Have you ever picked up a dive magazine and been amazed by the stunning photos of exotic marine life then wondered why you’ve never seen anything like that in the Caribbean? Simply put, it’s because most of those exotic creatures and corals are in the South Pacific, in places like the Philippines. I recently spent 2 weeks diving in the Philippines and after 25 years of diving it was like I dove for the first time. So many new things to see and photograph. I couldnt wait for the next dive to reveal it’s exotic wonders. After 20 dives and over 750 pictures I still hadn’t seen a quarter of the things I was looking for, so I’m going back and I’d like you to come with me.

e’ll be staying at the Kasai Village Resort on Cebu near the fishing village of Moalboal. This is a first rate resort dedicated to divers. All our rooms are Ocean View and only a few short steps from the diving. I can tell you from personal experience the resort is every bit as good as it looks on their web site and the staff is amazing. Included in our vacation package at Kasai are 8 nights lodging, 3 meals daily, 7 days of 3 tank boat dives and unlimited shore dives.

The trip to Kasai Village is $3299.00 and includes:

July 14 – July 21 2011 Galapagos Aggressor, Galapagos Archipelago, OTHER, Ecuador

The Galapagos Archipelago is located in the Pacific Ocean, 600 miles west of Ecuador. There are 19 main islands and numerous smaller ones. Although the Galapagos are located on the equator, water temperatures are cooler than you would expect, due to local upwellings of nutrient-rich waters and currents from Antarctica, carried by the Humboldt Stream. The mixture of warm currents from Central America with this cooler ocean water produces an amazing cocktail of climates, flora and fauna.
