This is more information on the Philippines trip scheduled for later this year. We still have a few spots.

Cebu is considered a diver’s paradise by foreign tourists and local divers alike. It offers amazing diving sites, crystal clear water where visibility exceeds 100 ft, and tropical warm water temperature averaging 86^OF.

Cebu, Queen City of the South, is a tourism hub in the Philippines where you can visit well-preserved 16th-century Spanish landmarks sightsee in Manila, and experience some of the world’s best scuba diving sites.

The trip is with Tony Deas at Sports Unlimited. More info at:  https://magicoceans.online/  

PHILIPPINES trip is rescheduled for Oct 22-Nov 3 2022. That means we will arrive in Cebu, Philippines NLT Oct 21st.

In order to get the best diving, we will be staying at two different resorts for a period of six days at each resort. The resorts are the Magic Island Dive Resort on Cebu and the Magic Oceans on Bohol. The website is www.magicresorts.online . We will be at the Magic Island from Oct 30th thru Nov 4th and the Magic Oceans from Nov 5th thru Nov 11th.

The cost of the trip will be approximately $3000.00 plus air.

What is included: • 6 nights at the Magic Island Resort Cebu w/ 2 per superior deluxe cottage w/ac. • 6 nights at the Magic Oceans Resort Bohol w/2 per superior deluxe cottage w/ac. • All meals • Wifi • 10 days of unlimited boat diving and house reef diving • Transfers to/from airports and business class pre-arranged ferry tickets • Hotel taxes Not included: • Nitrox-$28.00 per day per person • Side tours (we will give you a list of all additional tours and special dive trips) As of now the air travel will be from Gulfport to Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Cebu. The Magic Island is a small resort with only 10 rooms so it is imperative we get our deposits in immediately.

February 2022 Update: For all our divers that love to travel, The Philippines has just reopened to all vaccinated travelers! That means our long overdue trip from 2020 can now proceed. Unfortunately for some of our original group this delay has caused conflicts to arise and they will not be able to go, BUT this does open up a couple of slots for some new folks. If you are interested in a trip to one of the best dive sites in the world and an adventure of a lifetime call me at Sports Unlimited.

We have officially booked the Phillippines dive trip for 2021. The trip will be from October 26 to November 8, 2021. To get the best diving, we will be staying at two different resorts for six days at each resort. The resorts are the Magic Island Dive Resort on Cebu and the Magic Oceans on Bohol. The web site is www.magicresorts.online . The cost of the trip will be approximately $3,000.00 plus air.

What is included is:

• 6 nights at the Magic Island Resort Cebu w/ 2 per superior deluxe cottage w/ac.
• 6 nights at the Magic Oceans Resort Bohol w/2 per superior deluxe cottage w/ac.
• All meals
• Wifi
• 10 days of unlimited boat diving and house reef diving
• Transfers to/from airports and business class pre-arranged ferry tickets
• Hotel taxes

Not included:

• Nitrox-$28.00 per day
• Side tours (we will give you a list of all additional tours and special dive trips)

As of now, the air travel will be from Gulfport to Los Angeles to Manila to Cebu. Magic Island is a small resort with only 10 rooms, so it is imperative we get our deposits in immediately. We will need $200.00 per person immediately, another $300.00 on December 12 and a third $300.00 on February 12.

The balance will be due on July 1. It is still way too far out to worry about air, but the approximate cost will be $1,600.00 for coach and $6,700.00 for first class. I have included some information that may be useful. The transfers from airport to resort and from resort to resort are a little confusing, but to my best ability, we travel from Cebu airport to Magic Island by private bus (3 hours) and then from Magic Island to Magic Oceans by private boat.

• 02/24/2021 Update: this trip was sold out but because of the date change from 2020 to 2021, we have a few divers that cannot make the new dates in 2021 and we can use their spaces.

Cayman Island trip has been rescheduled and rescheduled and is now set for May 21st thru June 2nd, 2022. Again, sold out, but a few people have elected not to commit this far in advance and I can use their spaces.
