Summary | I am getting to prefer taking photo of small things to swimming aginst
the current a few years ago as get older. So I chose Anilao as next distination. Anilao seems like popular and famous, I gathered informations befor around 1 year. Anilao is no so much pricey as Lembeh, but I couldn't find an inexpensive hotel. Almost of all are combined hotel and dive center, they are kind of decent. At last, I found the Buceo Dive Resort, $52 per night with Breakfast and $40 per dive. I sent a email and soon booked, acctually after the period I booked was fully booked. I needed to pay 30% diposit after booking and balance one month before arrival. |
Itinerary | I chose the Cebu Pacific since just round trip between Kansai and Manila. I am going to stay the Wing one night and move to Batangas by bus. And then take a taxi or tricycle. After diving, I am going to move Manila by bus, stay one night and come back the way back. |
The Wing is closing |
I often use the Wing located the Manila Airport Terminat 3 when I arrinved
in mid night. I know the resrevation starts two months before, but I tried to book I was able to book till on 10th March. I researched about it, I was not able to find the reason. I understood it was renovated soon later. I needed to find and book another hotel. And then I booked the Hotel Ava Gil Puyat. The hotel is located near the Buendia Bus Termina, so I can go there a few minite-walk. Using the same hotel the way back, it was clean and tidy but it looked like a motel. |
Can not reach by taxi |
I received a email asking how I am going to get the resort. I answered by bus to Batangas and by taxi or tricycle to the resort. They suggested no road to the resort, come to the designated place and they pick me up. |

So many Redtooth Triggerfish everywhere. We were able to see many kind of folgfish, but they were all too small, 1 or 2 cm. |
Back home | They carried my laggage to the tricycle staion. To Mabini by tricycle,
to Batangasu by Jeeoney and to Manila by bus. After one night stay in Manila, I took a meter taxi to the Manila Airport. Airplane was A330, wide body ther and back, though almost full passenger, a few Japanes. |
