I am in the Philippines in July, diving around Puerto Galera area 1st week July, possibly around Subic Bay 2nd week of July and am thinking to go to Coron on the third week of July to do some wreck diving.
Coron is a bit of a hassle to get to, I have been thinking of going for some time, but cannot be bothered to get the seaplane flight or slum it on the superferry from Manila. My schedule always conspires against me. I prefer dive sites that I can reach by road from Manila.
For PG diving i suggest LLBC at Sabang. The diving close inshore at PG can be good but nothing to write home about. Theres some awesome, high current dives round the corner, but not for the faint of heart
For Subic, lots of good wrecks. I vote for Johan. He has been there ages, and I have done trimix dives with Johan. I bumped into andibk once there who seemed to be at home
Remember, rebreather divers are rare here, you must give the dive operator *plenty* of notice to get tanks and sorb in. Be prepared to dive OC if something doesnt pan out.
