I was about to book a trip to Analao and was trying to decide between Crystal Blue or Aiyanar. I had a quote for a week at Aiyanar then needed to add an extra night due to the timing of an early morning flight. The price jumped over $600 (due to the extra night + some price increase as of March), which I think is excessive. So I started questioning and breaking things down and noticed the diving alone was going to cost me $180-190/day. Really? I thought Hawaii was expensive, but wow! I am traveling with my wife who is a non-diver and I have no problems joining an existing group (i.e. don't need to have a dedicated dive guide solely for me). Is that typical of Anilao or is Aiyanar just trying to take advantage of me? Not real happy at the moment and Crystal Blue, though not as nice, seems to be about $900 cheaper for the week for us.
