My wife and I travelled with Mike and fellow divers to the Philippines and Hong Kong in late March 2009. The trip involving a week of diving at Puerta Galera, a week of diving at Dumaguete, and four days in Hong Kong exceeded our expectations in all areas, particularly in terms of the excellent planning by Mike O’Meara of Squba Holidays Inc. He covered every detail of the trip in terms of flights, dive plans, baggage handling, and side trips. It truly was an escorted trip, and in our opinion, it could not have been better in any way.

I wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely fantastic time. The Galapagos Sky was great, the people and the organization of the trip was pretty flawless. The dive masters were so incredibly educated and knowledgeable we were blown away, not only did they know everything about the sea, on land their knowledge was outstanding. The diving was everything we hoped for, there was not one thing that anyone wanted to see that we didn’t, sea lions, dolphins, penguins, sharks Galapagos, white tips, black tips and Hammerheads in quantities that were ridiculous. If someone told me on dives I would look up and down and see no less and 50 to 100 Hammerheads at one time I would have thought they were dreaming. And yes our group had two swims with a Whale shark. Not to be left out there was also an incredible amount of super sized reef fish that were largely ignored for the bigger stuff.

I just returned from Atlantis Philippines…Let me give you the bottom line first: It was the most enjoyable dive trip ever! All credit to you because you sort of talked us into it, against my uncertainties. Our room was perfect, even had free wireless internet. Diving was very very good. Food outstanding. Apo Island unbelievable, with perfect visibility, flat sea, no current. The staff, from start to finish, were wonderful. Nothing was a problem.
