2007 Annual Mystery Trip - Yap and Palau

Another spectacular  US Scuba Center Adventure!  The destination - Palau and Yap!  It is always great to return to the paradise islands of Palau and Yap.  Bill Acker met the group in Yap with a warm welcome and spectacular diving.  The recently renovated Manta Ray Hotel is absolutely beautiful and the entire staff just as friendly and welcoming as always. Picture: right bottom of page.

Then on to the glorious soft corals and exhilarating diving in Palau.  pictured below left, Bud Uren, owner of US Scuba Center explores the glorious and colorful soft corals of Palau.

 

Back from the Philippines:  Heather and Bud just returned from the Philippines and wish to share with everyone how wonderful these beautiful islands are and how gracious and hospitable and welcoming the Philippine people were.  Watch for pictures of this amazing trip. Heather can help you book an individual or group trip!

In Puerto Galera, there is Sabang Bay, hailed for its mysterious marine life. The Pier at Dauin, near Dumaguete is considered to be one of the best diving sites in the Philippines.  Anilao had great seamount diving and wonderful muck diving.

"Scuba Diving in the Philippines has often been compared to skiing in Switzerland in that there is no better place in the world to take in magical underwater vistas and near-extinct forms of marine life" according to  Vernie Morales, Director of the Philippine Department of Tourism in Chicago. Swimming among gorgonian butterfly fish, gigantic sponges, seafans, starfish and countless fish that are unique to the region is a special treat to divers from around the world.

 

"Mysterious and Amazing" are the code words for the Philippines - a center for world class divers and adventurers!
