Travel to the Visayas and travel information
In the Visayas, you dive from a base, usually from a bangka, the wooden boat with bamboo outriggers. Before Malapascua, it leaves early in the morning for the fox sharks at Monad Shoal and Kimud Shoal off Leyte, where most had switched in September 2022. In Moalboal, you reach the sardine swarm from the shore off Panagsama Beach and Pescador Island by boat. Before Dauin on Negros, you dive from the beach over sand and silt, and from there the bangka goes to Apo Island, where the bases see sea turtles on most dives. From Alona Beach on Panglao, the bases go to Balicasag and Pamilacan.
This booklet is for the trip to the Visayas and the ways around locally. It lists the flights from the German-speaking area, the airline rules for diving gear, and the transfer from the airport to the accommodation or to the base. In the travel information, you go through documents and insurance, health, equipment, packing list, money, and phone one by one. Land and people explains history and customs and how to pronounce the most important place names.
You get a PDF in A5 format, which you can read on your phone or tablet on the go and print at home as a booklet.
