goldgreen Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 where do you normally dive from? ligpo or anilao side? hope to join a fellow mtc diver soon... hi there! we dive on both sides. but ligpo right now is malumot and lot of jellyfish because it's the time of year that they're multiplying. so kahit mas malayo sa anilao, we did anilao last sat. did two shore dives. with breakfast and lunch buffet, about 900/head only. tentative sked for our next dive is on march 14. kita-kita sa ibaba.

goldgreen Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 i've been to dive and trek once about 2 years back, but i wasn't able to dive. yung brother ko lang. ok accomodations diyan. pag wala ako dive buddy, snorkelling lang din ako. di ko masyado type kasama yung mga dive guide ng mga resorts. minsan ok, minsan hindi. hit or miss ba. may experience ako, yung kasama namin dumugo ang tenga at ilong dahil taas-baba yung dive guide.

goldgreen Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 any suggestion on a place like dive n trek for snorkeling ? No need to hire boat . How much does the boat ride cost ? Thanks for the info . bro, we're going to anilao this weekend, baka gusto mo sumabay. day dive lang sa apr5 sunday (monday is a holiday). usually, about 1k per head kami ng dive buddy ko for 2 dives but amin ang equipment. that is inclusive of dive & resort pass, 2 tanks, 1 breakfast & 1 buffet lunch. kung snorkelling, i think, it just about evens out ang 2 tanks with rental for finks and mask. but i can lend you mask if you dive with us. dive boat is around 2500 for 2 dive spots. depending kung ilan kayo, you could divide it by 2 or 3 (up to 6 only per boat).

Thanks.... hi there! you may want to try diver's network, they're good: www.philippines-scuba-diving.com but don't buy equipment just yet. quoting from another thread: diving courses are divided into non-certification and certification courses. non-certification courses require you to dive with an instructor every time, max depth @ 40ft. certification courses, you only need a dive buddy: open water max depth @ 60ft, advance open about 100-120ft. rates depend on the facility and if you're with a group or a special session. best group rates i know is discovery scuba at about 3500/person and up. open water is about 12,500 and up. non-inclusive of resort fees but inclusive of equipment rental. PM me if you have other queries and will see if i could help you. summer is around the corner. there are a lot of group schedules for those who want to learn diving. enjoy life. go dive.
