Pasacao Survey Dives
Pasacao is a coastal town in Camarines Sur, Bicol Region, Philippines. About 360km from Makati or about 7 to 8 hours by car. Alternately, you may take a commercial flight to Pili (Naga) Airport which is less than an hour flying time.
The exploration team includes Ariel Abonal (Logistics Manager), Hildebrand Barcarse (underwater photographer), and myself (topside photographer). Photos from dives follows:
The dive sites are similar to Anilao, Batangas. Lots of hard and soft corals, average amounts of tropical fish, a few pelagics occasionally spotted like whale sharks and mantas. It must be noted however that there is apparent reef damage from illicit forms of fishing.
Divers may stay at the many hotels in Naga City. I personally prefer lodging at Camsur Watersports Complex for the many added activities such as cable wakeboarding
Suggested length of stay is 3 days or more. If you have more time, Caramoan is another place where you can island hop, snorkel
