Hi! We are two macro / muck lovers and were lucky to find $500-ish r/t flights to Manila a few weeks ago. Made arrangements for a week worth of diving in Anilao. So excited!
We are scheduled to leave in 4 weeks and very much realize that's a lot of time between now and then for all sorts of things to happen w/ Taal. Having been stuck in Bali in the past due to a volcano, we wanted to at least have a contingency plan of sorts. Our flight has a stop-over in Tokyo, so if worst came to worst - we could have the ability to re-route to another destination in the Philippines or in SE Asia. We are crossing fingers for everyone in the region but also wanted to ask if anyone could recommend for some other great muck/macro diving areas in either Philippines or SE Asia.
If diving was halted around Anilao but MNL was open for business, we found flights to Bali for $250 r/t and could head to Amed/Tulamben. Not too shabby of an option with great diving BUT we have been many times.Maybe Mabul in Malaysia?
Any ideas or insight into alternative macro sites would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!
