  FWSA 2024 DIVE TRIP TO THE PHILIPPINES:

  Oct 19-Nov 2, 2024

  We are going back to the PHILIPPINES!   

  The dive trip will be October 19 – November 2, 2024 to Marco Vincent Dive Resort in Puerto Galera and Buceo Anilao Beach & Dive Resort in Anilao! 

  A 3-hour drive away from Manila, Anilao is one of the world's best macro photography destinations. It is literally heaven-on-earth for muck diving, blackwater diving, and macro photography. It is considered the Capital of Nudibranchs…colorful mollusks without shells.  The Puerto Galera diving area stretches from White Beach right around to Coral Cove. It is part of the Verde Island Passage and named by some scientists as the center of the world's marine biodiversity. 

  There are more than fifty dive sites that are an interesting mix of sloping reefs, coral gardens deep pinnacles, shipwrecks, channel dives, muck diving, drift dives and sea grass beds.

  The divers who joined us on the 2019 Philippines dive trip not only called it “the best dive trip ever”, but many said “my best trip ever”.
