Thursday morning, December 2, the three of us finally met at Chek lap Kok airport.
All sorts of things went wrong during the preparation for this trip. Some dropped out last
minute, over-booked hotels and changing to another one, then being told it would have worked
after-all ! Eventually it was just Dylan, Keith and myself to go and explore Mactan diving.
Dylan came straight from China and made it right on time. Keith planned to do his Advanced
since we didn't get to do it in Hong Kong.
We dived with "Kontiki Divers" and stayed at the "Kontiki Beach club" at Maribago Beach, west
side of Mactan Island.
The accommodation wasn't quite as nice as we thought/hoped, but the diving made up for it.
The diving around the Mactan coastline isn't as good as in Moalboal.
Some of the interesting sites were the " Shangri-La Marine Sanctuary" and "Marigondon Cave".
For more of the better sites you'll have to go across the channel and other sites that are dived
on "dive safaris".
