Sorry centrals for the late reply. As of 3 weeks ago ferry schedule was inconvenient. Need an s-pass to get to Mindoro. Doing it yourself is difficult but your hotel can arrange it. You will need a pass to get through (pass through) Batangas on your way back to Manila. Basically, they've made it/keeping it inconvenient for the businesses to recover. Last trip a friend just changed his plans and went to Bohol instead. Ill find out of this has changed with the new month and update you

I thought S-Pass is a must to travel in the country.

I planned to fly to Coron after my (June) Tubbataha trip but it looks like it's not going to work. While Puerto Princesa doesn't require an S-PASS, Busuanga requires one

FULLY VACCINATED

• Valid ID
• Approved S-PASS
  • Vaccination Card must be uploaded in SPASS application
  • ID
  • Confirmed DOT accredited and LGU Licensed Hotel, Tour or Diving Bookings (for Tourists)
  • Roundtrip Tickets (for Tourists)

When I tried to apply for an S-Pass, the website won't allow me to proceed since I don't live in the Philippines so can't fill in the boxes for "Region", "Province/HUCs" and "Municipality/City".

I must be doing something wrong. Thoughts and suggestions welcome and appreciated!

I have given it a try!!!!
1. Use e-mail to register.
2. Region: Mimaropa; Province: Palawan; Municipality: Coron
3. Address: Sangat Island Dive Resort(naughty, sorry to borrow your resort's name Andy).
The best way is to book a local hotel of your choice even for 1 night.
4. Click I am not a robot
5. Submit(did not do it myself).

Good luck.

In case they check your reservation with the hotel, it is better you actually booked one even for 1 night.
Any idea where you are intended to stay?

Yes, I booked at the Asia Grand View Hotel for 5 nights.

All the wrecks are miles away from town so long boat trip everyday.

I'm not committed to the Grand View. How do you like to do Coron when you go?
