Anilao Dive Sites

kulot:

Hello,

My husband and I just got certified and we'll be going to anilao this weekend. We had our check out dives there and we've already been to Bebot's, Koala, Cathedral and Twin rocks. What other dive sites are there that are good for novices.

Experienced really strong current in Cathedral (got pretty tired during that dive). Would like sites that wont really batter you with all the current just yet (I want to get more experience and confidence in the water before I try those). I'd also like sites that are ideal for UW photography.

Hope someone can help me out.

hey! who'd you do your course with?

i would suggest that you coordinate with your instructor or go via an anilao dive resort like Balai Resort and tell the DM or instructor what your capabilities and preferrences are... they are much more familiar with the current conditions than you would be right now

let your first few dives be under the supervision of divers much more experienced than you... that will allow you to get the maximum enjoyment you want from diving...

hey we're "school mates"!!! i got my cert with sea-cid too... with mel and casty about a year ago...

i'm also maintaining the balai website so if you've inquired online at the site i would have been the one who answered your email hehehehehehe

i just got back from a dumaguete trip with mel... i'll be posting my trip report real soon but suffice it to say that they're great teachers... i did things in dumaguete that would get a LOT of heat here on scubaboard hehehehe... but i'm alive and unbent so there
