Dive bases and accommodations in Anilao and Puerto Galera
Anilao is the name of the diving coast of the municipality of Mabini in Batangas, its dive bases line the west coast of the Calumpan Peninsula towards Balayan Bay. From Manila, you drive there via SLEX and STAR Tollway, then take the bangkas of the dive bases to spots like Cathedral and Secret Bay. Puerto Galera lies opposite on the northern tip of Mindoro and has been a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1977. A ferry or water taxi from Batangas will take you there, and from Sabang Beach you can reach most spots in ten minutes by boat. Between the two coasts lies the Verde Island Passage.
With this booklet, you can choose a dive base and accommodation together. It compares the dive bases and the guesthouses accordingly, which base and house reef belong to which guesthouse, and how far the walk to the boat is. For each accommodation, it states whether there is space to rinse and dry your equipment and if an early breakfast is available. For non-diving days, the booklet lists restaurants and excursions, each place with a map link.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print out as a booklet at home.
