Yes it is. Both places are interesting and you can travel to romblon by boat during the night. So no time lost in transfer since you are not travelling by plane. Anilao deserves more time but Romblon has some unique nudibranches.

know nothing but interested

I used to have a nice little lamp with a variable beam angle but it went out of service. I would like to replace it with a new one with a narrow/medium beam but more important with a red laser beam or a diode narrow red beam in order to show my dive buddy critters or fishes without frightening...

book with 3P. I went there and they are a good choice. You should find a taxi to bring you there.

For dives in current where you are intending so stay put and watch fishes swing in the current, you are far better of with a hook. Some people prefer to attach themselves to rock and corals , quite often with body and fins damaging the coral. The best way to preserve coral is to "intelligently"...

Also certified with PADI in the 90 ties. I still remembre clearly how the instructor taught us how to breath from a free flowing regulator .

Only have been to Romblon and Anilao. Anilao was great, a mixture of muck and regular dives. A great place for macro. The place is so varied that days when you have some current, you can always find a place where there is none.

Thank you for sharing. A few remarks 20 minutes ,,,,,,@ 70 feet is VERY far from the deco zone where deco stops become mandatory. A safety stop is OPTIONNAL and recommended after repetitive or dives below 100 feet mostly. So in case of "emergency" as you perceived, it is not a good idea to...

2 years ago, at this time 24/25°C.

Always carry my regulators in my wetsuit in my checked bag. Never had a problem. You will have to check your luggage in MAnilla, so you will have the ^possibility to put them in the checked luggage locally.

The problem with Anilao is that a lot of it is macro muck diving. In order to do this you need a VERY VERY GOOD Buoyancy. I doubd that OW + 10 dives would give you this level .

Water in February was more like 25°C. I am VERY surprised by the 21° noted here.

Since I do not like to see woman dressed in Burka in my country, I believe that woman should be dressed in a way that respects local manners. So in Egypt, my wife does not bare short pants. It is a matter of respect for the population one is visiting.

TRIMIX TRAINING dive @ 100 m with current. Maybe not a great idea :letsparty:

Any link to that "fatal accident"?

Thank you Visnu. You are right, a lot of my nudies from Lembeh are on your beautiful serie of pictures. However, I cannot find the identification of each species. Where is the information? Thanks again.

is this a flat worm? If yes, ID please :)

Hi , I just came back from Lembeh and I have quite a few nudibranches that I could not indentify. I have taken videos on a rather cheap camera "sony RX100" and taken a "frozen" image of them. So please excuse the poor quality of some images.

I have a muck stick but I found it too short for real much dive photography. I am looking to make or to buy a muck Stick with a total lenght of +/- 18 inches? Thank you

Anilao is easy diving. But this is macro diving for a large part. So you better master buyancy. I have never seen a lot of divers on any site, even in Jan-feb.
