Dive Link, Coron, Philippines - anyone dived there?

If you want to dive in the Philippines, especially in Coron, then don't go
anywhere else except http://www.diveright-coron.com/.

Now I want to be absolutely up-front about this, DiveRight-Coron is owned
by a good friend of mine ,Tim Humphries, and a member of my old UK club,
who'se lived out in PI for about the last 5 years.

He not only has this operation, which includes one of the best 'Bancas'
(outrigger dive boats) in PI but can organise complete holidays including
multi-locations across PI (flights, accomodation, food, transfers and good
company).

PI can offer all types of both diving and almost any other holiday
recreation and relaxation, you name it he'll organise it.

Although this is a ruthess plug I've no commercial interest other than
helping a good mate.

Regards,

TonyH.

One thing I forgot to mention, if you are taking an internal flight from
Manilla to Busuanga, is that there is a 10 kg. baggage allowance. The charge
for excess baggage is quite low but I forget how much.

Thanks Cliff - It is only something like $5 per kilo I think, I saw it
on the Website for DiveRight-Coron that was recommended by TonyH.
