Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $79 a day this sits a little under the $105 median for water & sailing. It is cheaper than 20 of the 24 water & sailing options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Philippines
- 1 other option in Philippines, starting with freediving to 30m in Panglao from $380.
- When to go
- Workable across 7 months of the year — Nov-May. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 12 days, but the honest range is 4 to 30. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
