Summary | Visiting in Alona, Philippines, for the first time in 9 and hald years. I have planned two days diving, but it waschanged to one day. Because the flight from Nanira to Tagbilaran was canceled in the plane on the runway in Manila. I tried to visit Alona again. New airport was built in the Panglao Island, so no afraid of canceling flight. I requested to dive in the Balicasag Island, then the dive center reqire to submit my passport and certification card by email. |
Itinerary | I have booked air tickets from Kansai to Tagbilaran via Manila by Cebu
Pacific. Then it needed to book capsule hotel in the Manila Airport since midnight arrival and around 10AM departure. Three days diving from Alona and one day land tour : Chocolate Hills and so on. |

and bigeye trevally. Kind of bad visibility. Third dive: near the Alona in the Panglao Island |
3rd day | Two dives in the Pamilacan Island. The boat didn't come to pick us up,
another boat picked us up. Engine of our boat seemed to didn't work, after it was repaired we came back to our boat. |
Tour | After finishing 3 days diving, I took the land tour on next day. It cost over PHP5,000 when I booked about one month ago. However I found under PHP3,000 twe months before. I guessed the tour was held by minivan and 5 or 8 participants, but private tour by sedan actually. |
