Trip report april 2 anilao, batangas

[midwestdvr]

its not so bad, its just more difficult with a big group, things start to fall apart faster. currents in gallera much stroner imho

Hmmmm. The strongest current I've ever dove in was at Dugon wreck where I had to crawl from rock to rock to get to the wreck. When I dove canyons, the current wasn't too bad. To tell you the truth, I really don't like to swim against currents, I'd much prefer to swim with it. Nothing beats the feeling of flying underwater.

that time we dove canyons was nothing, its usually stronger. the strongest current i have ever been was in shark cave gallera, second was coconut point in dumaguete.

Shark cave was actually a chore as there was no current whatsoever when I dove it last November. The group had to do a freakin marathon swim just to get to the cave.

Dive 2: sombrero island

This time we really took the time and did a proper dive briefing during our SI'S. we were joined by aparachiki and friend. we started the dive at the shallow part of sombrero island. playing around the 20 foot range for about 15 mins. very slow leisurely pace so the rest of the group could enjoy the coral formations and generic reef fish spiraling accross the shallows. after about 15 mins we started descending along the deeper part of the reef. we caught up with another group of divers, fearing that we would have a chaotic traffic jam, i led our groups into deeper part of the wall in order to bypass the group. me and mons decided to pick up the pace will the rest of the group enjoyed the uw scenery that beheld all of us. lots of angel surgeon fish, titan triggers and as chip put it ,"generic reef fish" colored blue /orange and green. after 40ish mins we started our ascent and ended up in the shallow reef which usually signals the opposite end of the island. we decided just to go around and swim until one of us would signal low on air. at 60 mins chip and mons deployed their smbs and started having fun. Very nice slow relaxed dive.
