Rjjj,
With regards to diving for only 2 days, you can't go wrong choosing one place over the other. Both offer great diving, and seeing that you really enjoyed PG the first time around, you won't be disappointed on whether you choose Apo over Bohol or vice versa. Just choose one now and dive...
Out of those 3 I've only been to portulano. Great service and has a nice house reef. But I'd choose arthur's place, as that's the resort most central to the Anilao dive sites. Arthur's rock is right in front, as well as a few other sites within drift diving distance.
I would just stay in...
Always nice reading your trip reports Kev. That's a great shaded batfish pic, but I love the coron pics the best. :)
I'll be checking out the northern and eastern wrecks (Kyokuzan Maru, Nanshin Maru) next time I head back to Coron. I've heard the viz is a lot better there, although a bit...
I'd lean more to bohol instead of malapascua for your girlfriend. Choose a place to stay, and once you're at Bohol walk the beach to find a dive shop. There's plenty of them.
Check out the map for a list of a couple places...
awesome, thanks for a nice post anna. :) Great to read about your travels. You've hit quite a bit of places in the PI already. And nice pics too, I like the first one.
Would like to hear more about Zamboanguita... :)
Search "Alona Beach map" on the forums and it should lead to this thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/philippine-paradise-divers/249439-alona-beach-bohol-courtesy-map.html
Click on Jim's link at the very bottom and it'll show you where regents hotel is. It's right next to charts, which is...
I see, from your previous post I was under the impression you were going to stay at small lalaguna. I've never been to Aninuan - is there still the only one really nice beach resort there or are there now other resorts there?
If you're looking for cheap dives and just there to shoot nudibranches, do the shore dive package at Planet Dive or Dive n Trek. Ditto on the joining a group for the weekend to lower cost.
Mark does go out to Verde, but keep in mind that he only has one speed boat, so if you're diving with others it might not be possible to go unless they all want to go.
His prices for dives will depend on how many dives total you do with him and anything extra. Best to send him an email or...
For photo/video shooting and single traveler service, you might want to check out Club Ocellaris as well. Bill22 stayed with them and highly recommends them. Boy Venus, the owner, is a good man in my conversations with him.
sweet pics koya. Thanks for sharing. Viz looks beautiful. My next trip in the PI 2011 will be to Surigao/Siargao for some diving, surfing, and beach-going.. :)
I second Planet Dive. Also in the Mabini area is Dive n Trek and Portulano, who have nice house reefs. Another option is the house reef of Atlantis Resort in Dumaguete. One of the best house reefs I've dove is in South Point Diver (Lemlunay Resort), Sarangani Bay.
Hope that helps.
Looks awesome, you're definitely going to have fun with that. A good buy at that price. And STA-less...nice.
I personally clip my SMB and reel to my butt D-ring. The lumbar pads work just as well - it's all about personal preference.
Have fun in subic!
To be honest, that shot is a bad angle cause the mach series wings look more like this: OxyCheq Mach V Extreme Series Wing reviews and discounts, OxyCheq. The oxycheq's zipper runs on the inside ring for bladder access.
Hope you find what you're looking for. If you're trying not to break...
