goldgreen Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hello mga tsong.I'm a certified dive master and been diving for almost 4 years now. I think this thread is nice pero masarap yung merung sirena kasama para party sa gabi.Diver point at San Juan and Scubaworld is the place to buy equipment. So if you plan to dive I can show you best place and site around philippines but most of my weekend are in Anilao. i'm glad snorkellers and divers appreciate this thread during our extended surface intervals. ganun naman talaga tayo, habang nagpapasingaw ng nitrogen in between dives, kwento kwento lang muna sa ibabaw.

superbaboy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 wheres the place snorkling spot near manila lang,, thanks,,, hi there. if you have snorkelling gear and don't need to rent, anywherethat has calm, clear and not-so-deep water can be snorkelled (rivers, beaches and lakes). important is you have clear sight. pag malabo mata mo, scuba ka para tutok.

mightytor Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Its good to know meron palang tread dito for scuba diving. I have been diving but in anilao area lang. Never been to other places. I recommend a nice diving resort in Anilao. Thats the Anilao Beach Club (ABC) I design this resort and it was completed early this year so new pa ang mga Facilities. This is owned and operated an american & british. Both are SSI dive masters. I also recommend Outrigger for shore entry dives. That is if your in Anilao. Water here is always calm especially in ABC because it is strategically located in the cove of Balayan bay. Last 2 weeks when typhoon is hitting Manila and northern Luzon, weather here is calm.

LB Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) i'm scheduled to go to coron for the long june 12 weekend. it is a great place for wreck diving. barracuda lake is a plus too! i just visited that ship wreck early this week. it was interesting but the water was a little cloudy siguro dahil sobrang lalim na according to our guide. 990 feet if he (the tour guide) was not mistaken. we did not do diving pala, snorkling lang. sayang! hehehe. @pornstar: bro, i am not sure yet on the 31st but would love to go. sana may ibang sirena pa na sasama if ever Edited May 24, 2009 by LB Quote Link to comment

Bro, I did two dives this weekend in Anilao (Leisure Dive). Thanks to Goldgreen for the info on the resort. I tried to dive sa Outrigger first but they tried my patience once too much. I'm not going back there. Never. Imagine, we leave 3-330am to be able to dive 6am. When you get there, the staff make you wait for more than 30mins and what?? nothing. We were made to wait for the counter/check-in attendant pero walang lumabas. I was with my family and dive buddy, wasting the beautiful morning. Sayang, parang maganda pa naman house reef nila. Good thing we transferred to Leisure Dive. Although we did not have reservation, they accomodated us right away. They have organized a diveboat which was scheduled to cruise to Puerto Galera. 3 dives in 3 different sites with breakfast, lunch and snack for P2800 all-in (very reasonable) and about P1800 for non-divers. We just did shore dives as we had a friends-only schedule at Matabungkay for lunch (whew, busy day). Next time, we'll join the trip to Puerto Galera. Damage for breakfast for 3, 4 tanks (2x2dives) and resort fee for 4 = P1,500 inclusive of tips. So much for Outrigger. Should I take your word for ABC? Quote Link to comment
