Anybody got any tips for good locations/resorts around Philippines for a holiday where I can do some good scuba trips with some monging on the side?

Lots of places in PH for diving, Boracay is the best location for a vacation, diving, beach, all the tourist stuff.

Sorry, no ideal if it's a good ladyboy mongering spot, or not.

 

Subic bay definitely is a good spot, Olongapo, and Angeles a short drive away. Ok diving, guides, and rentals there.

Cebu is also good (city or the rest of the island) for meeting, don't know about the diving possibilities there, but I'm sure they exist.

Nice diving and mongering is available .. from what I remember,  its best to bring cash with you as when I was there 7 years ago there were no ATM's around.

I did a bit of research a few years back trying to find locations with the best of both worlds and unfortunately I came to the conclusion that you can have a wide selection of top quality ladyboys or a wide selection of top quality dive sites, but not both at the same location anywhere in the world.

 

I went to Puerto Galera a couple of years ago, nice diving there but only saw a couple of working ladyboys there. I intended going over to White Beach but didn't get there. Apparently there is a bar with ladyboys working as waitresses but I'm sure they would be willing to perform services for cash.

 

There were no ATMs in PG when I was there. To get cash you need to go to a town about ten minutes inland and use the ATM there. Unfortunately they put a limit on how much cash you can withdraw per transaction and hit you with a fee for each transaction, so by the time you pay for transport to and from the ATM plus the fees it's not that much cheaper than getting cash from the Western Union office in PG.

 

The ladyboy scene in Subic Bay isn't much better but I must say I didn't think much of the diving there. Subic bay does not naturally flush with current so there's a lot of silt there. Combine that with the fact that it gets a fair bit of shipping traffic the viz is not good. If you do go there and dive with a group make sure you be first to follow the dive guide as each diver silts up the water more and more leaving the guy in last place with virtually zero vizability. I personally would not recommend diving in Subic Bay.

 

I think there is one ladyboy bar in Angeles City, but the place has not ever been known for catering to the ladyboy scene.

 

I've not been anywhere else in PI but from what I have seen of dating sites and the like, Cebu has a high concentration of ladyboys in both quality and quantity. Maybe you should focus on a period of time at one location for diving and then move on to another location for mongering. If you do I suggest you make contact with more ladyboys that you plan to be with as there will naturally be some the don't show up and others who you just don't click with.

 

I'm not sure what the going rate in PI is for long time now but when I was there they had recently banged the price up to 3000 pesos. A lot of the regular punters there were shocked at the price jump and were considering taking their business elsewhere. I think if it was a toss up between Thailand and Philippines for a purely mongering trip I would pick Thailand hands down. There is far more poverty and homelessness in PI and it is a much more dangerous place for a tourist in terms of being mugged. The only real advantage PI has is that everyone speaks English.

Besides Boracay, there is Puerto Galera on Mindoro, popular with both LBs and bar girls off-season, and up north to San Fernando La Union (Lingayen Gulf - 100 islands), with the famous black beach, a poorer area, not so much entertainment as Manila.

 

Lots of diving there on Cebu - East side - Mactan Island, Tambouli, and other resorts, LB bars are mainly in the city.

West side, Moalboal and Badian Island, whose reefs are now recovered from typhoon devastation.

 

For the more adventurous, further South on Mindanao you have Surigao on the East Coast; Dakak and Camiguin Island- a little harder to get to on the NorthWest, and around Davao on the South East coast.

 

Even further afield, Palawan Island has El Nido resort - catering mainly for Japanese, pretty tough security there, and offshore there is the legendary Tubbataha reef, only for divers on live-aboards due to the distance.

 

Any search for dive sites in the Philippines  will bring up more sites, but these are amongst the best.
