How to avoid condensation inside housing in hot humid weather?

That makes sense - seal it in A/C, then get it up to temperature before diving.

By the way, I almost booked a week in Anilao this December. Felt nervous about both water temps and being in the Phillipines, but ultimately had to hold off for health reasons. Would love to know more about it. I'm trying to get in another 56 dives between now and July, probably in the Caribbean (for affordability).

Anilao is a pretty cheap place to crank out 30-36 dives on a 10 day booking.  (4 per day)  I think the resort part was ~2500 and the airfare around 1400RT, but that was EVA's premium economy.   Straight up coach would have been under 1000.

My wife still logs, so I could find the temp range in May, but most of the time it was marginally necessary to wear the wetsuits for warmth.  Some spots definitely cooler with some unexpected thermoclines.  But bigger reason you need to wetsuit up is you're often planted on the sand next to the target, and there's definitely jelly stuff in the streaming current.  Ankles and wrists get it.

I thought bay waters meant trivial diving, but it's really tidal flows.   About 1 dive each day could have strong to mildly ridiculous current, and not in a predictable way.  That translated into moderately advanced diving conditions.   Not the best place for a new macro diver.  And there can be a fatigue factor with 9 days of it.   Downside to land based is the time you spend on the little boats going out and back twice a day.   But the subject density is ridiculous.

Anilao is pretty isolated from the nonsense with the new regime.  2-3 hour ride from the airport.  The resorts are all built along a steep slope - just ten years ago you had to take a boat to get to the resorts.  Generally an all inclusive approach - too hard to get to anything else.

I was with Blue Water, who uses Crystal Blue.  They have an excellent resident pro.  The dive boats take 3-4 divers plus the guide, though there can obviously be multiple boats from the various resorts at a given site.  But rarely a crowd.

Cayman Aggressor would be my next choice for high dive density.   ~3k for a week charter with 27 dive slots.  Never gets old floating along Bloody Bay Wall.
