wow, and i thought the thread will be hijacked on page 1. lol. yes, i was surprised they are offering scuba diving as one of their activities. id always look at ilocos as place for old houses and churces and the marcoses. not scuba diving.
and noooo, were not gonna take the bus. we do not have the luxury of time. cebu pacific is offering the Php99 promo. its 900php one way, all in.
pagudpod is 2 hours away. if diving is worth the 2 hours trip, id go there, otherwise, i think its wise to check out marcos instead.
thanks, guys. as always.

There is no diving site in Laoag, only in Pagudpud and its about 2hrs ride from Laoag City.It does not really take about 10hrs bus drive to go there from Manila, only 7hrs except on Holy Week and Haloween where as usual, people from Manila leaves for the provinces for a long holiday. Batac is also a good choice (Marcos museum) but I suggest that you try to visit Juan and Antonio Lunas' house also after the Marcoses coz it's also interesting (forgot the town name but it's before the boundary of Norte and Sur). For souvenirs, just go to the town market ( shops are all closed by 7pm). If you're planning to buy lobsters,1 meter long fishes like maya-maya,milk fishes,etc, to bring back to Manila, then Pagudpud is the place because its there where they catch it and its much cheaper there than in Laoag or any other towns but you have to be there by 6am-9am to get the better ones 'coz people from Cagayan also go there for those. If you want to buy bagnet or longanisa, San Nicholas market is the best place.
