Any diveshops in Anilao/PG/Batangas?

[Scorpius]

Need to buy new fins before heading waters of Philippines. I am looking Mares Plana Avanti X3 or Technisub (Aqualung) Blades HF or alike. Do you know any diveshops in Anilao, Puerto Galera or Batangas? Can I contact them somehow and ask if they have my size?

Any idea of pricerange? Is it cheaper than in Europe?

P.S. Are those fins stiff enough to stand hard currents like in Anilao/'Malapascua/Ticao Island or do you recommend some different brand?

I bought some fins for a friend on the board who lives in Yap from a dive shop in PG. They have surprisingly good prices. There is more than one dive equipment shop there and they carry a large inventory, again I was surprised, so you should not have any problems. I bought the Mares fins, I think they were $45 USD?

Prices in PG are comparable if you are a PADI PRO and can show proof. You get a discount. Good deals to be had!!

there are many shops in Puerto Galera try captngreggs.com ; atlantishotel.com ; scuba world has shops in Manilla, Puerto Galera, and other locations in the Philippines.
You'll have a great time. actiondivers.com can also help you, but they have a small retail shop compaired to the others.
