There's another thread in this section "How much do you pay?" and maybe just maybe philippine divers can share some current info on how much it cost to dive (including accomodations) in anilao, in PG, in coron, in apo island etc, etc. Every diver here can really benefit on the info for his/her future diving trip.

Hi,
I still remember my trip to puerto last sat-monday.
Scenario:
I was buying barbecue at a stand last time.
The cook said " Barbecue sir"
I said " Isang barbecue nga ., magkano" ( 1 barbecue please and how much)
Sir P 10 lang ( only P 10 pesos sir).
After getting my barbecue, a foreigner came and ask for a barbecue.
" How much" Mam it's P 30.00 per stick"
Yes someone is really ripping off someone. that's my experience.
 
I think this is the problem (or maybe not) with dive rates in Anilao. Unlike in Galera were they charge a fix rate for dives, anilao has a tricky way of costing dives and ends up really cheap for divers. I guess this is an advantage for consumers because diving becomes affordable.

I remember I was talking to a shop owner in Puerto Galera and he told me he wonders how do dive pros make a living out of diving in anilao with the rates they charge. I told him "oh we don't, its just a hobby for most of us dive professionals in manila" :)
