We're booked in April for La Chevrerie. It looks like this resort uses a contract/freelance operation based upon my contact with the resort and scouring forums. I have two questions:

Any experiences with the dive operation. Specifically, what spotters/guides to request?

Any experience/recommendations for other freelance guides to use ?

How many are in your group? If it's completely freelance, then you are potentially on the hook for not just the guide, but the boat and the boat crew as well.

If you've got a group of 4-6 this can be economical, if it's just 1-2 of you, it could end up being a little more expensive (per dive).

One of the reasons why I only dive at Anilao resorts that have their own full time boats & guides.

I don't know who are are the freelancers operating from La Chevrerie.

However if you can book Dennis Corpuz, besides being a very nice guy to dive with, he's hands down the best photography guide/instructor in Anilao, you'll have a great photo time. I''m not sure he can work with La Chevrerie however I already booked him while staying to various resorts such as Eagle Point, Acacia or Aiyanar some of them not mentioned in his webpage . You may still check out with him https://anilaounderwaterphotography.com/

Otherwise anyone from the Corpuz family (Obet, Ronald) can be recommended as well.

Nice to hear--we have a few days booked with Mr. Corpuz next month.
