Pre-Announcement:

Tubbataha, Philippines, May 8-15, 2027

This is the most pristine spot in the Philippines - one of the few liveaboard spots in the world that sells at full price. We are going on the same boat as we used this summer, Philippines Aggressor (I). I will shortly put out a more detailed description and a signup form starting to take deposits as soon as possible. Right now I only hold 16 spots - and more can be added if we have the travellers. I will go to DEMA to look for a land based extension

Trips 2026 and beyond:

These trips have become a little more complicated to arrange post Covid-19: say in 2022 airfare was plentiful. Now airfare - for most trips is the most limiting factor - especially in the Caribbean: the ability to arrange group airfares is going away and we need to rely more on individual airfares - that need to be purchased well in advance - say 10-11 months before the trips. Hence we need to go to an earlier trip announcement structure than we have been used to in the past. Also the weather patterns are changing - the "storm free season" is getting both smaller and more unreliable. Even ABC Islands are now occasionally hurricane prone

Exotic Trips:

So far we have scheduled Philippines for 2027. I am still interested in hearing what you might want to do after that...Easy to get to, say Fiji or more exotic and like "further away"?
