 missmarianne Says:  yepyep.. that's what you call it if gulugod baboy is not much a challenge from your point of view..things are indeed easier said than done. unless you try mounting your feet onto vertical degrees of stuffy stuffy...stuff..uhmm.. you'll find out how far your tank could take... 

 anliz99 Says:  Diving or snorkeling are the top things to do around here. For diving, the resort offers an intro dive (about $20) which includes all the gear and the dive master who will guide you. This will be around 15 mins in about 5 meters deep waters. This is actually just in front of... 

 DarleneCMF Says:  Sombrero Island is farther out from Anilao coastline. The waters surrounding it is deeper (~50ft deep) so it's good for scuba-diving and snorkeling. You can see different fishes and corals.Sombrero means 'hat' in the Philippines. See for yourself. :) 

 DarleneCMF Says:  Dive and Trek (resort) has a fenced, protected area (where they teach intro scuba diving). Fishing is not allowed here so the water is teeming with fish, large parrot fishes mostly. There aren't any corals in these shallow waters but it's really cool to be in the midst of... 

 muddybok Says:  This is a continuation of the Gangsters' Paradise tip and some bad reports I received from local divers about some ultimate gangsterism underwater here in Anilao. I don't mean to say bad things about this group of people, but their behaviors are total beyond tolerate-able... 

 muddybok Says:  The Common Lionfish has very long pectoral and dorsal fins. The body is covered with red to black bands on a pale background.This species has extremely venomous dorsal fin spines. When disturbed by a diver it often makes little effort to swim away. Instead it points its... 

 muddybok Says:  Gangsters Paradise - Coolio As I walk through the valley of the shadow of deathI take a look at my life and realise there's not much leftCause I've been brassing and laughing so long thatEven my mamma thinks that my mind is goneBut I ain’t never crossed a man that didn't... 

 muddybok Says:  Most established dive sites at Anilao are quite shallow and with proper decompression stops, you should be able to keep on diving. During the decompression stops, the residual "microbubbles" present after every dive will be reduced from diver's body through the lungs. If... 

 muddybok Says:  I have mentioned earlier that corals are animals and I personally prefer soft corals than hard corals, with the exception of Gorgonian Sea Fan. I like to see the soft corals sway from side-to-side whenever the currents cause them to. It gives me that kind of graceful moves,... 

 Boljakool Says:  Very friendly staff, great service. I enjoyed the buffet lunch & dinner. Their breakfast is also perfect, they allowed me to cook my own omelet! I liked their adobo! They also have great desserts here! 

 DarleneCMF Says:  If you are going to Anilao from the Cavite area, you can opt to take the route through Tagaytay and Lemery instead of the Star Highway. The view is a lot nicer - mountains, overlooking Taal Lake and I think it's a lot closer. Or it could just be that I was enjoying the drive... 

 DarleneCMF Says:  Take note of the day when you are scheduling snorkeling in Anilao. We were there during full moon (during daytime!) and the current/waves were really strong. You can easily drift away from the boat. Three persons in our group got really dizzy and threw up... 

 francis0927 Says:  Guloguod Baboy literally means "Pig's Spine". So called because how the countour of the mountain looks. It is about 2 to 3 hours trek up and 30 to 60 minutes trek down. Up there you get a beautiful 360 degree view of the beach, the neighboring towns and islands. We would...
