From Alex
Few places that I have visited offer such a fantastic experience both above and below water and this trip holds some serious promise for both casual and serious photographers. A relatively short drive down from Manila to Batangas, and we board the outrigger which takes us across from Luzon to Mindoro Island. I can guarantee the excitement will be building as we approach the small town of Puerto Galera. Photographically there is a mix of white sand muck diving, coral critter diving and wide angle shooting further out on Verde Island. We have timed the trip in line with the tides so we can spend some time exploring further afield.
The resort is designed for your photographic comfort with some of the best food we've tasted in a dive resort anywhere. Critters are too numerous to name, with many beautiful species await for your photographing pleasure. As with every trip, I'll be bringing a bag of the latest photo toys for all to play with and we will cover numerous topics in our discussions and photo critiques. Puerto Galera also has a very vibrant night life, so don't be too surprised if you sleep through one or two early morning dives. I for one can barely contain my excitement at returning to this magical little spot.
This trip promises to be an unforgettable experience, put your name on the list quickly as we expect the limited number of places to sell out fast. Places are limited so please call 01323 648924 or email Lydia for further details and to secure your place.
