Dive Experience	Over 1000 dives
Where else diving	Multiple locations in the Carribean, Atlantic, North, Central, South American Pacific, Indian Ocean Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Hawaii, Malaysia and Great Lakes.

You can fly from Cebu to Bohol on a 737 or equivalent Airbus (not a little,itty-bitty plane)
