    The Diving hotspots in the Visayas have caught the interest of European divers, as 65 of them will be coming to Cebu in November to experience the good diving areas here.

This was announced by the National Association of Independent Travel Agencies (Naitas) chairman Robert Lim Joseph, in a press conference held Saturday night at the Ralph’s restaurant.

According to Joseph, these high-end European divers will hit the waters of Bohol, Apo Island in Dauin, Oriental Negros and they will make Cebu as its gateway to reach these places.

Joseph said Naitas will be getting good deals with business hotels here in Cebu, either Marco Polo Plaza Hotel or Holiday Plaza, as these divers are requesting to stay at a business hotel in Cebu, before they will kick off with the diving expedition in Bohol and Oriental Negros.
