Original post
SLT a tous. Départ pour Cebu le 21/01/2014. Souhaite passer mon open water dans un club de plongée qui propose des hebergements avec le tout pour petits budget. J'ai repéré l'ile de Padre Burgos, y a t il de quoi loger et plonger sur cet ilot.
Si vous avez d'autres propositions...car j'aimerais plonger avec les requins baleine dans ce coin. Merci a tous
syl
tu as toutes les réponses sur le lonely planet concernant padre burgos. pour les requins baleines, si tu veux etre sure d'en voir, c'est à oslob, dans le sud de cebu, mais c'est un peu " organisé "😉.

Merci, mais je cherchais surtout un club de plongée avec logement sur place comme cela ce fait en thailande. C'est a dire que le logement est vraiment moins cher car on passe un niveau de plongée. Sur le Lonely c'est pas clair et surtout pas trop de tarif bien détaillé.
Si quelqu'un a une bonne adresse pas forcement sur les guides touristiques : à Padre Burgos, oslob et Moalboal. Merci a tous les aventuriers..
syl
J'etais a Moalboal il y a 2 jours. Il y a bcp de resorts et tous proposent des packages herbergement + plongee. Je peux pas te donner d'indication de prix car meme avec une reduction, l'hebergement n'etait pas dans mon budget.
J'ai loge au Moalboal backpacker (dortoir a 275 pesos) et apres a Cora Palm Court (tres sympa chambre avec sdb privee a 400 pesos). Il ne reste plus ensuite qu'a trouver un club de plongee pour ton brevet. Personnellement j'ai passe mon advanced open water avec Savedra, je les ai trouves tres serieux.
En ce qui concerne padre burgos, je n'y suis pas allee mais on m'avait donne l'info du Peter's dive resort, leur site internet est assez detaille (http://whaleofadive.com/)
En ce qui concerne Oslob, j'ai rencontre bcp de voyageurs qui ont fait l'impasse sur les requins baleines la bas. Ils les nourrissent pour les attirer et c'est pour cela qu'il y en a toute l'annee, mais elles se blessent en tapant contre les coques des bateaux... Pas forcement cool.
Bon voyage

Bien vu! Moi aussi je boycotte cet endroit(Oslob)!😠 je conseille a tout le monde d'en faire autant!

je suis partagé. c'est vrai que ce baleine land n'est pas très respectueux de la nature. mais d'un autre coté c'est un apport économique important pour la région et les philippins en ont bien besoin. nous on a bien des zoos et des marineland. en étant informés, les gens peuvent choisir. le boycott me parait excessif.

Merci Letti de ta réponse qui va bien m'aider. Une autre question puisque tu es dans le coin, nous avions prévu d'aller sur Bohol et avec le tremblement de terre est ce que c'est toujours accessible car les photos que j'ai pu récolté ne sont pas engageantes?
D'autre part est il nécessaire de boocker les réservations hébergements et plongées ou tout est possible sur place ? Car je pensais boocker juste la première nuit d'arrivée sur Cebu...et après me débrouiller sur place nous sommes 4 adultes. C'est a dire partir sur Moalboal en bus et chercher un logement en arrivant...En ayant louer un scooter....EST CE POSSIBLE ???? merci encore
syl
Slt, alors toi tu irais voir les baleines où ? car je n'ai pas l'intention de rater cela. Il y a les mêmes critiques concernant les eléphants en Thailande, il y a des coins où c'est "l'abatage" certe mais il y a aussi des gens respectueux qui te mettent en contact avec les éléphants sans que ce soit l'usine, pour ma part j'ai pu vivre des instants supers: baignade avec éléphants chez un homme très protecteur et qui refuse le tourisme de masse....Alors peut être y a t il la m^me chose aux Philippines pour les Baleines....Car ces pays ont besoin du tourisme pour vivre mais je suis d'accord pour qu'il y ait des régles afin de respecter les animaux...Et cela partout dans le monde et même chez nous.....
syl
c'est un peu ce que je pense. il y a donsols dans le sud luzon , mais c'est aléatoire. à oslob , c'est organisé, il y une centaine de visiteurs par jour. quand j'y suis allé en avril, je n'ai pas vu d'animaux blessés, et nager à coté c'est impressionant. il semble même que chaque animal reconnaisse son bateau ! j'ai écrit un post détaillé la dessus, après c'est toi qui voit. si je vais aux fils l'année prochaine avec mon fils, je pense que je l'emmenerai les voir.

Re bonjour
Je suis actuellement sur Bohol. Je t'avoue que je ne pensais pas y aller non plus et puis qq contacts sur place m'ont dit que c'etait faisable. Je suis restee a Tagbilaran 2 jours, il est vrai que l'on voit des degats sur certains batiments, des routes abimees, mais c'est "moins pire" par rapport aux photos que j'avais vues et qui montraient les plus gros degats (bien evidemment je n'essaie absolument pas de minimiser la catastrophe !).
A l'hotel ou j'etais on m'a dit que les Chocolate Hills avaient souffert du seisme. Je n'y suis pas allee donc je ne peux pas dire mais la plupart des moto taxis proposent l'excursion.
Je suis actuellement a Alona pour plonger sur Balicasag. Il y a enormement d'hebergements, resorts et clubs de plongee. Aucun probleme pour arriver sans reservation pour moi mais il semble que la saison debute donc ca depend de la date de ton voyage. Je pense quand meme que c'est jouable pour toi.
J'espere que ces qq indications t'aideront encore

RE, RE, :)...pour nous les dates sont du 22 janvier au 12 février...J'espére pour arriver et faire mes réservations sur place. Pour toi c'est quoi le circuit le plus top pour 3 semaines. Ton endroit de prédilection????
syl
j'aurais du mal a te conseiller un itineraire sur 3 semaines, j'ai deja du mal a faire des choix pour 2 mois 😉
J'ai aussi du mal a dire mes lieux de predilection pour l'instant, je n'en suis qu'a la moitie de mon periple, je ne suis pas encore allee a Palawan (c'est pour demain) ni dans le Nord de Luzon.
J'ai bcp aime Negros (silay et ses maisons anciennes, Bacolog et le festival Maskara, Guintubdan et le Mont Kinlaon, Dumaguete ville tres agreable, Mabinay et ses grottes, Apo Island...) j'ai trouve l'ile tres variee.
j'ai aime l'ile de Samar et Legazpi et le Mont Mayon... En fait j'ai tout aime pour l'instant 🙂
J'ai parle des requins baleines avec un dive master philippin aujourd'hui, il m'a dit que Donsol etait un bon site pour les voir.
Il m'a dit que les tarifs de Oslob commencaient a etre eleves (droit d'entree 1500 p pour un plongeur et 1000p pour un snorkeleur).
Bons preparatifs

Tu dis que tu pars le 21 janvier? gaffe c'est le nouvel an chinois dès le 1er février, y va avoir du monde au portillon à cette période...
juste une note, Padre Burgos c'est pas vraiment un îlot, vu que ça fait partie de Leyte...
Pour la plongée là bas, à part Peter situé à Padre Burgos, tu peux passer voir Günter et Alona à http://www.leyte-divers.com/en/, c'est à San Juan le barangay avant padre Burgos. C'est sans doute plus cher que Peter... mais c'est plus cozy aussi...

j'avais passé 5 jours à moalboal au savedra resort + dive center
et je les ai trouvé ok aussi
la chambre à 10m du centre, c'est bon :)
les chambres ne sont pas trop chères, tout à fait correctes par contre bien sur à ce prix, pas rare que le réseau d'eau soit un peu short et que tu finisses ta douche avec l'écope et la grande poubelle d'eau prévu à cet effet
pas de resto au savedra mais il y en a 3 dans un rayon de 30m pour le petit déj, ou alors, alors chez le petit épicier d'en face et se faire soi même le petit dej sur ta terrasse qui surplombe la mer

Hello,
We’re planning a trip to Thailand for next summer. It’s the rainy season, but that’ll let us explore forest parks (Khao Yai and Khao Sok, most likely) in full bloom and teeming with wildlife. We’d also like to spend a few days on beaches with nearby coral reefs during this trip. That’s where we’re hitting a snag—I’m struggling to find an island or region with favorable weather. I’ve gone through quite a few threads on this forum, but most are pretty old and mention a few names (Tao, Phaluai, Ma, or Phang Nga), though with doubts about visibility or overall appeal. Crowds also seemed like a bit of an issue. Just to clarify, our family has mixed interests when it comes to fish-related activities—some are Level 1 divers, while others are snorkelers only.
Are there any good options in July-August for great experiences in the area? Thanks for your tips!

Hi everyone! 😊
I’m looking for a place in Albania to go scuba diving with my boyfriend. We’ve never done it before and we’d love to try this activity.
Thanks so much! 🌺🌺
hi
I wanted to know the best snorkeling spots in Tuamotu since I unfortunately don’t have enough time to do everything—I’ll have to pick and choose.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
I’d describe myself as a "former diver." I’ve done around 450 dives in natural environments across different settings. I put diving on hold about 5 years ago due to work/schedule constraints and, let’s say, family reasons. Since then, I’ve still tried to stay in shape with hiking trips, running, swimming, and freediving in protected environments, etc... I’m planning to get back into the bubbles somewhere this year. Any destinations you’d recommend—or avoid—for getting back into it? I’m looking for a spot for April/May this year.
Any tips or ideas?

Hi,
For my trip to Thailand with two teens aged 13 and 16, do you have any info or tips to share? I’d like to go jet skiing, either in Phuket or Koh Samui, but I’d need at least two jet skis since there are three of us. Can my 16-year-old ride alone? Is it better to rent on-site or book an all-inclusive excursion online or in person?

Our Bali-Lombok trip is taking shape, but we’d love to wrap up the stay with at least a solid week of snorkeling somewhere the coral is still in great condition. In your opinion, are the Gili Secrets in southern Lombok better than Flores Island, where there are supposedly amazing underwater landscapes?
We’ll be in Dahab again this October—we’ve been going since 1979—to freedive. In 2025, to our surprise, access to the Blue Hole is now paid: on top of the 10 € taxi fare, you have to pay $10 per person to enter the park. So we’re heading outside Dahab to the Three Pools site by bike, rented locally. Is there a bus that goes there, or shared taxis, instead of the tourist taxis? And where can we catch them? We’ve seen big buses full of local families on the site, but we don’t know where to find them. Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
The comments about this public beach are generally negative:
tiny beach, crowded, dirty, and noisy.
Is that really the case?
Could you please post some of your recent photos of the public beach—not photos from the big hotels?
Hello,
For flight schedules and prices from Bordeaux, and ease of reaching Alexandria by bus/train afterward, I’m considering spending 4 days around Hurghada (direct flight from Bdx).
I don’t think I’ll go for courses to get my Level 1, since I don’t plan to dive often in the future—unless you think it’s better than doing 2 discovery dives in this area (I only have one baptism under my belt, in Koh Tao 15 years ago—amazing! But I’m not targeting trips for diving; I need to go to Alexandria, so this is a chance to get back into diving and snorkeling).
I’m looking for a spot to do some snorkeling, 1 or 2 baptisms, and explore the surroundings. I’ll arrive in early March on the evening of Day 0. I’ll have 3.5 days after that (I’m planning to leave on Day 4 around 4 PM by bus/train).
Is Hurghada completely to be avoided in favor of another area in the Red Sea, or can I still have a nice 3.5 days there? I know places like Dahab are more pleasant, but the convenience and timing of Hurghada appeal to me... I usually prefer more authentic travel spots and places, but I’m willing to compromise on that if it’s still worth it for the diving. Or should I only stay 2.5 days and head to Alexandria a day earlier? (I’ve already seen Cairo and Luxor a bit.)
Open to your advice ;) Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I’m heading to Hurghada for a few days in November. I’m looking for a spot where I can go snorkeling right from the beach. Is that still possible, or do you absolutely need to take a boat trip to see anything worthwhile?
I’ve read about Makadi Bay, but also that it’s packed with big resort complexes—which I’d rather avoid. Are there any beaches accessible without staying at one of those huge hotels?
Any great tips or advice for me? Thanks in advance, Lucille

Hey everyone!!
I’m planning a 3-month trip to the Philippines for May 2026.
As a diving enthusiast, I’d love to hear about must-visit diving spots.
I’m traveling with a buddy, and we don’t really want to spend all our time moving around, so if you have recommendations for one area that’s better than others for diving, that’d be great!
What do you think are the best diving sites? (I’d appreciate an overview of the country so I can decide based on that.)
Compared to my buddy, I love macro photography (nudibranchs, etc.), so I’d also love any tips on that.
And completely unrelated to diving, but I’d also like info on places to visit (national parks, reserves, etc.) to see the local wildlife.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply!
Safe travels, everyone!
Hello everyone!
So glad to be back on this forum to swap some great tips.
I’m heading to Malaysia from mid-May to mid-August 2025 for nearly 3 months.
With my advanced certification in hand for a few years now, I’m on the lookout for the best dive spots in Malaysia.
I’ve obviously heard about the Perhentians and Sipadan.
Someone mentioned Tioman too, but not necessarily for diving.
Do you have any feedback on these places for diving? (visibility, marine life diversity, etc.)
Any idea about the rates for fun dives?
Dive centers you’d recommend?
Any help would be super valuable for planning the trip, so thanks a million in advance to those who take the time to reply.
Safe travels, everyone!!
Hi there.
For taking photos while snorkeling, is it better to go with a disposable camera or a waterproof pouch? If a pouch, which brand is reliable? Thanks for your feedback!
Hi there,
I’m looking for a destination in Vietnam for January to spend a week and go snorkeling.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I know Thailand well, and with my Thai friend, we’d like to try a different country.
Thanks in advance.

This is the excursion we shouldn’t have done in Mauritius.
We did it with The Friendly Dodo, but from what I saw, it’s the same with most agencies.
Departure at 6 a.m. (even though the sun rises at 7 a.m. in August). Why? Because there’s only one well-known spot where the dolphins are, and all the agencies race to get there first. For 45 to 60 minutes, it’s just straight-line navigation to the spot. No one’s looking for dolphins—we’re just speeding there in silence, full throttle. Once we arrive, there are already 5-6 boats. The dolphins are there, sure. The boats fight for the best position, cutting off the dolphins’ path, and then—go, go, go—everyone jumps in. Not a single instruction is given on how to approach the dolphins respectfully. Result: everyone jumps in at the same time from 3 boats, creating a huge splash, and rushes toward the dolphins. Outcome: faced with this chaos, the dolphins dive, and you can’t see them from the boat anymore. The swimmers who are right in their path might see them pass below for a few seconds at best. Everyone climbs back onto the boats, and as soon as the dolphins resurface, the same cycle starts all over again. After 5 or 6 jumps like this (3 of which I didn’t even see the dolphins), it’s back to the port the same way we came. Not a single explanation is given during the entire excursion about the dolphins themselves or how to approach them. Safety-wise, I didn’t feel comfortable either with all the boats fighting for position. I bumped into another boat (no pain) while swimming, and I wasn’t reassured about the propellers. With all this circus, my daughters didn’t even want to get in the water. The problem is, when you stay on the boat, you don’t get much out of it either—because as soon as the dolphins resurface, everyone jumps in haphazardly and scares them off again. Having done the same kind of outing in Réunion, I can confirm it’s nothing like this (much better organized and ultimately much more rewarding in Réunion).
Under these conditions, this is an activity we never should’ve done! !

Hi everyone,
My partner and I are heading to Mauritius at the end of October (Tamarin Bay), and one of our wishes is to find a great small-group excursion out at sea to meet dolphins. I’m looking for a provider that’s respectful of the animals and gives us a fun, discovery-filled day. I’ve heard a lot about Amistad on this site—what do you think? Do you have any tried-and-tested alternatives to suggest? Thanks so much!

Hi there,
We're heading to Praslin, La Digue, and Mahé for 15 days in early March. Do you have any good snorkeling spots to recommend? Just to let you know, we're beginners, and I get scared easily if it's too deep.
Also, another important question: what do you do with your belongings on the beach while snorkeling? Our phones, accommodation keys, wallets, etc.?
Thanks for your tips!

Hi everyone!
I’ve been in Malaysia for a month now and still have two more to go. I started traveling with friends, but I’ll be solo for the next month and a half.
We did a pretty classic route: Perhentians, Cameron Highlands (which I found pointless), Tioman, and Kinabatangan in Borneo. Now I’m thinking of heading to Redang Island—Langkawi is also an option, but it doesn’t appeal to me as much. Any feedback on these two spots?
Especially Redang?
Any thoughts on the diving there?
So far, I haven’t had much luck with diving—at the Perhentians, it was pretty disastrous with water at 31°C 😵😫
I’d love to find a nice island where I can meet people (locals and travelers) because going from a group of six to solo at the end is going to feel weird.
So I’m open to all tips and opinions. Also, I’d love to hear about Langkawi, and if anyone knows of an island that’s a bit more off the beaten path, that’d be amazing. Thanks in advance, and happy travels to you all!
hi everyone
we’d love to visit Borneo and I’m not finding much info on it yet (just starting my research)
so I’m reaching out to you, like I do for every trip—it’s worked out great for us so far 😎
we’re a family of 4 with two teens, 14 and 18, and we’re going for 3 weeks.
what’s the weather like in August—too much rain?
any political issues to be aware of?
which little beach paradises should we not miss?
we love discovering animals and diving… any top spots?
as for airfare—any budget-friendly airlines or easy routes? (Singapore, Denpasar, etc.)
I’ve got so many questions! All of this on a reasonable budget…
thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to take the time to reply
hi, who can give me some tips on big-game fishing with a local fisherman?
thanks
Hi,
I’d like to do several boat trips to go snorkeling during my stay in Florès: Islands departing from Riung, Maumere, and Labuan Bajo (Seraya).
- WHO?: Do you have any contacts to organize these boat trips?
- HOW MUCH?: What’s the cost for a full-day trip, including boat rental and possibly meals (picnic, barbecue, etc.)?
Hello,
I’d like to go on a 5-day kayaking trip with snorkeling, island visits, and village tours in the Philippines. I don’t have a specific island in mind, but I’d love something off the beaten path. I’m traveling solo but can join a small group. This would be around March 20th. Thanks so much for your suggestions!
I’m looking for a 5-day kayaking and snorkeling trip with a few village visits and no mass tourism. I’m alone but open to joining a small group. Any recommendations for around March 20th? Thanks a bunch for your feedback!
Hi,
I’m interested in a Nitrox course and was wondering if it’s worth it: is it widely available in dive clubs around the world? Is it more expensive?
Thanks for your input!

Hey everyone reading my post!
I’ll be in Mexico, specifically in Playa del Carmen and Tulum, from March 11 to April 2.
I’m looking online for things to do, but they all seem pretty similar—I’m after something a bit more original but don’t wanna get ripped off either!
If you’ve had any great experiences in those areas, feel free to share them. Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I have my flight to Malé from February 3rd to 15th.
I want to visit Malé first, then head to 2 or 3 nearby islands. I’d like to take the ferry to keep costs down.
I’d love to be able to snorkel right from the beach.
Which atolls or islands would you recommend?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there, my husband loves fishing, and during our upcoming vacation in French Polynesia, he’s planning to do two half-day trips. We’ll be staying in family-run guesthouses on the following islands: Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Bora Bora, Rangiroa, and Fakarava. Which type of fishing should he choose for the best experience, and on which islands? Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂
Hi there,
We’re heading to South Africa for a two-week vacation next March.
We’d love to see great white sharks and maybe even try the cage diving. We’re planning to go to Gansbaai—do you think we’ll have a chance to see them? Also, do you know of any specialized agencies that aren’t too commercial and are respectful of the animals?
Thanks
Bonjour,
notre voyage en Indonésie étant annulé, et notre agence nous déconseillant l'Egypte, nous sommes à la recherche d'un lieu où nous pourrons faire du snorkeling depuis la plage (et en excursion bateau). Je connais un peu Zanzibar pour y être allé il y a plus de 10 ans, ainsi que Pemba (mais les prix ont explosé), et je me tourne aussi vers Mafia. Est ce propice au snorkeling , des resorts ont ils des house reef où l'on peut voir des choses intéressantes (je ne m'attends pas non plus au niveau de la Sulawesi ou des Raja). Merci d'avance pour toute info.

Bonjour à tous,
Je pose ma question malgré la situation incertaine actuellement, mais évidemment mon plan de voyage est conditionnel à l'évolution de la pandémie, donc merci de vous abstenir ceux qui me diraient juste de rester chez moi ;)
Donc, je planifie de passer l'hiver au sud de l'Europe, et ou vers les Balkans et j'aimerais savoir si c'est partout de la plongée en eau froide donc avec le drysuit et tout ou s'il y a des endroits qui sont superbes et ou je peux plonger avec un suit plus épais seulement même exemple en février et mars. J'ai lu pas mal ici sur le portugal et malte https://divezone.net/diving/portugal mais j'aimerais l'opinion récente de plongeurs du coin! :)
Ce que j'aime en plongée c'est l'eau claire, les fonds marins attrayants, la vie aquatique particulière, etc. Je ne suis pas une fan d'épaves, mais je considérerai tout les sites / pays proposés :)
Merci!
