Anilao Diving at Bambu Resort

Media_httpfarm4static_cwnip

Just did a weekend of diving in Anilao with some friends. We stayed at Bambu Villa Resort which is located in Bagalangit, Mabini, Batangas, Philippines. The new place sports a well equipped dive shop. It has nice large airconditioned rooms with balcony view of the pool, heated showers. They serve wonderfully varied buffet meals. Their rates are reasonable and well in line with the facilities and services they offer.

Jo & Johnny's Beach and Dive Inn

Want to try diving Fortune Island and the Nasugbu area?  Jo & Johnny's Beach and Dive Inn is your ticket.  Johnny has a great place in Tali near Punta Fuego.  The food is quite good. The dive service is friendly and professional.

Blue Hole at Fortune is a nifty dive site, there is a chance you may encounter mantas.

There are nearly a dozen established dive sites in the area:  Blue Hole, Pink Wall, Cathy's Garden, Shark cave, Lorens, Mini Cathedral,, Sanctuary, Greece to name some.  Nasugbu is a bit closer to Manila than Anilao.  So locals can do one or two days diving and just keep coming back for more.
