All things set, I plan on departing Manila roughly around 2pm. Will I have trouble finding a trike or jeepney once I arrive at Batangas center because of the hour?

Thank you for the informative link. Any recommendations for accommodation for a solo diver in Anilao?

I will be traveling to Manila next friday due to school and have a day and a half to go diving. I have read as much as I can but wanted to feel some reassurance on my current plan or maybe even hear a new better idea. Anyway, if anybody has any recommendations or tips I am all ears. Supposedly...

I spent last newyear at the little havana bar, plenty of fireworks, live music and lots of deals on drinks! The owners had made some nice oliebollen and were giving it out to customers as well

Several companies and charter boats do day trips out to Caño island in the south, if you cant go there I would suggest you save your money although YMMV. This time of the year most of the diving is done up north around Cocos beach. The Bat islands are a popular trip around this time to go see...

Terrific photos, thanks for sharing! How long is the flight there? Were you able to dive the blue corner?

As others have said, there isn't much in the way of AI hotels with 3 boat dives a day on Bonaire seeing as shore diving is the thing to do. For a grand majority of the sites you dont need or want a a boat. Boat diving in Bonaire usually is for Klein Bonaire or for East Coast Diving. As far as...

You're right and I apologize, void of life is in fact a bit harsh. Without a doubt though of all the other dive areas CR has to offer, Manuel Antonio has the least concentration of life in summer or winter. This comparison includes the areas of, Golfo Dulce, Caño, Uvita, Herradura, Santa Teresa...

I believe Oceans Unlimited is the only shop in that area, there is another called Mad About Diving but its about an hour south of Manuel Antonio. Oceans Unlimited runs a decent shop with good equipment but terrible student Dive Masters that are more concerned about enjoying their own dive rather...

I would second Herradura divers, they run a nice shop and its the closest dive spot from San Jose at about an hour away. Last year I saw what had to be the biggest devil ray (20ft+) in my life around there!

Hello Undersea Hunter Group! My name is Johnnathan and I'm an avid student/ diver that lives in San Jose, CR. I assume tons of people ask to volunteer but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I wish to have a career in the scuba industry in the future and would love to have the opportunity to work...

A bit late, but deff hardsole. Not just for the shores but there is cactus in many places, not the tall ones but some small bushy ones with very sharp, hard needles. Had it not been for my 5mm hendersons my diving trip would have been cut short a few days due to stepping on one of those suckers

No dive shop here will guarentee you see things like seahorses, frogfish, nudis or any other macro critter for that fact. Seasonal divemaster guides and tourists come out here to see big animals so instead of having theirs heads in the rocks looking for critters they look up and into the open...

If it helps ives seen both those nudis in herradura, central pacific CR. Here are some shots i got of them and a 3rd nudi that may interest you, im not sure on the id though

What would you like to know about the living down here? I moved here from Chicago 4 years ago now. A good base would be Cocos beach, good nightlife, budgets for every need and the local diving there is very nice.You would also have access to various sites such as the Catalina Islands (A...

Diving Mania is the only Scuba specific store I've heard of in the area. I usually buy my gear when I travel to Chicago so can't say how good of a shop it is or how wide of a selection they may have, but I imagine that the prices are higher than what you are use to seeing online or locally in...

Nice! Il have to go for a burger during my trip in December

How were the dives on klein compared to the mainland? Would you happen to know any spots one would be likely to spot a patch of garden eels?

Yup, I meant the nitrox course. Im AOW

thanks, we plan to do as little boat/ guided dives as possible with the exception of klein, the drift dive and a guided tour on the east coast hopefully with Bas
