Southern Leyte Diving (December 2006)

[clgsamson]

Just several question. We are arriving at the resort on the 26th and leaving the 30th, right? Isn't that 4 nights stay?

Mid, the reservations are for Dec 27 to 30, 4d/3n. But I've emailed Phil that you foreign pasaways are going to be flexible on the return (or beyond the 30th). We locals are thinking of taking the earliest flight out of Manila to tacloban, Leyte and goin back on the 30th (last filght out of tacloban). We suggest you guys fly out of Manila with us. We can buy the tickets for you so we can be in the same flight.

I see. I take it you're planning on taking the 0600 flight from Manila to Tacloban on the 27th and the 1450 flight from Tacloban to Manila on the 30th. How long of a drive is it from Tacloban to the resort?

That's right mid, a 6am flight out of Manila. When we get to Tacloban, after an hour and 10 minutes flight we'll be picked up by resort personnel (aircon van for an add'l fee - will arrange with Phil when date nears) and transported to the resort 2.5 hours later. We'll be in-resort by 11am or 12 noon at the latest. We can do 2 to 3 dives after lunch including a night dive at the famous Padre Burgos jetty, which manhattandiver and some others sez is the best night dive site in Asia. The 28th is a different matter (whalesharks! I hope), we can do 3 to 5 dives including a night dive (if we opt out of the night dive of the 1st day).

Google search for Napantaw Wall, Rio's Wall and Liloan diving.

We can do 2 to 3 dives on the 29th but have to be out of the water not later than 8:50pm (18 hours before flying).

Go back to Manila on the 30th at 1450 or 2:5Opm with, I hope a whale of a story to tell our friends in SB.

So early in the year and I'm already excited about the year end trip!

Most likely, I'll be going to the resort on the 26th. Not sure at this time, if wife and kids will be going. If so, they'll be staying for 1 night. At any rate, I'll make a separate arrangment for that date.

We've had nothing but good reviews on the resort and dives...wish the months were in reversed.
