jonix:oh ok! shore dive from planet dive? so you also did the barge and twin rocks? (i guess different dive ops call sites differently hahahahaha)
welcome to the philippines
Well we used a boat, but I don't remember whether it was close enough to swim to from Planet Dive as well.

actually w/ the current going your way or no current i think a 10-minute relaxed surface swim from planet dive... it only took me less than 5 mins of relaxed fin flicks on my back to get to the 1st bouy from balai rock... it also took about 5 mins from balai rock to the actual twin rock mounds of twin rocks so adding it together...*Floater*:

Sorry, my bad, I meant we took the boat to Panny's Point, but twin rocks and the barge were right there so we didn't even need to do a surface swin. I had a good night dive there.

how's the overall experience with planet dive? room rates, food, facilities, etc?

Pretty good. we were on a negotiated package so I can't compare indivual rates. The rooms vary in quality, so it's best to ask to look at a few of them and then decide - we changed immediately from the inital room to a much better one. Food wasn't bad, no hot water though, and they lost electricity during our last night there. Also no pool - so couldn't do a buoyancy check initially.
However, I'd go back again because they have at least one set of manifolded doubles for rent and they are pretty relaxed about the diving.
