    Default When can I start

    Santelmo,

    Sounds like a winner to me.. Room, board, food, $$, lots of diving..
    OK, I thought I was going to retire on some carribean island somewhere,
    drinking coconut milk, sleeping in a hammock tied between two palm trees,
    dive gear all around me, but your description sounds better...

    Plus the diving is world class in the Philipines! The U.S. dive publications totally give the Philippines the cold shoulder, and we don't know why, not at ScubaMagazine!

    Check out the Philippines Shangri-La Divers Forum, they'll tell you everything about PI dive travel, and they'll all do it in better English than most inhabitants of Los Angeles can speak.

    @ lars2923: that's what you get in exchange for bringing in divers/ customers. dive resorts here in the PI especially in Batangas are like mushrooms so you can just imagine the competition amongst the dive resorts...PM/contact Diverep to give you a head start on what to do and expect if you want to be a DM or SI here in the Philippines. he can even introduce you to popular dive resorts.

    Default I'll be there in a number of years..

    Early retirement. Still saving for it. I've never been to that part of the world.
    Maybe a trip next year to visit..
    Any suggestions as to where to go, to dive and just a little site seeing?

    Thanx,
    Lars

    @ lars2923: the most popular dive destination is Anilao, Batangas and Tubbataha reef in Palawan.

    also, try to visit El Nido (Lagen & Miniloc Island Resort) and Coron in Palawan. also try Boracay, Puerto Galera, Bohol, Cebu and Dumaguete.

    @ Diverep: did i miss anything? care to suggest other vacation/ dive spots?

    Hi,

    Another great location is Bangka Island in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. This is superb diving with spectacular animals like the pygmy seahorse, and the dugong.

    I have been diving with the dugong for a number of times now around Bangka and this is an absolutely amazing experience!
    Just check my website for more information: www.MimpiIndah.com

    ---
    Mimpi Indah means beautiful dreams, which is true for both the resort as the diving...
