Dives within range of Manila?

[love2godeep]

Wow this is super--a Philippines dive club. I got my OW cert in Palawan, and have returned as often as I can.

This time to the Phils, however, I'm going to Manila and not to Palawan. Is there any good diving within a few hours of Manila? What advice do you have for me?

Thanks!

Try going to batangas or Bicol.... and take the Advance OW so u can enjoy more dive sites.....

if you are staying in Manila and would like weekend dives, then Anilao would be the place to go. and it is the cheapest area for SCUBA diving with enjoyable views.

just this weekend on shore dives we always chanced on "pawikan" - sea turtle , close encounter (nice one) with a huge cuttlefish, almost a meter or more longer, sting ray, lots of juvenile barracuda (yellow tail) and lots of fishes and corals.

we also did some nite diving and harvested some crown of thorns.

if you want more details, PM me
