A personal list of dive shops and operators I made business with in my dive trips, all of them are PADI accredited. The first thing I try to look into is their accreditation, that same professionalism I like from all PADI Shops. So far, each of them are friendly and helpful but most importantly, Safety is their foremost concern. Very basic of course, I entrusted my life to them while blowing bubbles deep down under.
Actually, my most favorite is my mentor’s shop which he just established here in Cagayan de Oro with his diver friends in August 2007, still young but if I dove with them I have no worries, everything is well taken cared of – to the last details.

Life in the Great Beyond 
I would like to ask about your opinion about dive sites in Sarangani, Southern Leyte, Bantayan Island and Subic. We would like to choose one place for this May trip. Have you been to these places? My diver friend is really into macrophotography lately. He wanted to explore other sites other than Anilao & Dumaguete. Thanks for your help!

hi girl, sorry i haven’t dove yet in sarangani and bantayan. Subic was all about shipwreck when i dive there. In macro, dumaguete is better compared to burgos in southern leyte. But it all depends in one’s keen sense for critters. Thanks for dropping by. 🙂 Enjoy your summer!
