Wow! Not so many divers from the UK visit the Philippines. I am a Filipino and it's amazing to know that some people from other sides of the world go here for diving! More people should really try visiting the Philippines!

Yes Derek! Everything's there! Puerto Galera is simply the place to be - scuba, beach hopping, kayaking, snorkeling, and sunset cruises! Truly an ideal place for a lazy day under the sun or for a simple adventure along the beach! I'll keep coming to the Philippines!

Wow! I've been in the Philippines as well. Tried diving there for a couple of times, I visited Puerto Galera and found it really amazing. Another place that was the best place to dive there was Boracay, I've talk to people from there and they call the place a paradise and it really is a paradise. I haven’t been in Palawan but some of my friends that visited the place said that it was really another paradise.


diving is passion...

Puerto Galera really is ideal for a scuba diving vacation! Top-notch indeed! they have the best diving site in Mindoro, and even in the Philippines!! Good place to stay to for a week-long relaxation It is even recommended for every beginner taking up a diving class..

it feels heartwarming that people of other nationalities often mention these beaches with such praises. the only problem i have with galera and boracay is that it is now too commercialized, too popular and too crowded - defeats the purpose of having serene time with nature/the beach.

This is indeed a very helpful chart. So to all those who plan to visit the Philippines soon for some good underwater diving, you can use this as your reference.

Thank you so much for sharing this one, Blued!
