Dive Puerto Galera


Just got back from another liveaboard diving in Verde Island, Puerto Galera and Anilao on board Borneo Explorer. I'm starting to like cruising with Expedition Fleet Liveaboards because of the convenience and great service it offers. The only thing i don't like is the headache i get every after dive due to sea sickness.
The trip was great as always with our wacky Cebu group and Manila based friends. The 13 passengers including myself are Paulo, Tim, Barbi, Kevin, Joy, Fred, Eric, Richard, Tanya, Cielo, Hans and Yvette Lee. The staff headed by Rommel - the boat manager (also of Oceanic Explorer) and Padoy, Elmer and Sten (from Maldives) - the shaker sherpas.
We started our day by embarking at Mabini Pier in Anilao. After check in, we had a nice dinner and went to bed early after a full day of shopping at the sprawling Mall of Asia.
Early morning the next day our boat cruise to Verde Island where we did 2 dives at the Wall. During lunch we cruise again down to Puerto Galera in Mindoro to dive Hole in the Wall, Sabang Point and a night dive at Sabang Junk.
The next day, we did 2 action dives at the Canyons before we cruise back to Batangas to do our last 2 dives in Mainit with a hot underwater bubble bath to cap the trip.
