Philippines diving for one day - where to go

I'll be in the Manila area next week on business and would like to get a few dives in on Saturday. Any suggestions where to go and stay?

Please reply to me email address as I may not have easy web access.

Your best bet is one of three choices

#1 - day trip to Anilao; there are a number of dive resorts there, problem is you need to hire a car plus driver to take you. I frequent Balai and Outrigger Resort, but there are lots. If you leave by 7am you can be at the resort before 10am and in the water before noon.

#2 - day trip to Subic bay, wreck diving. I dont have a personal recommendation

#3 If you can do an overnite then I recommend going to Puerto Galera, Mindoro - however it is Holy week and most places will be booked up. You need to get a ride to Batangas and take a banca across to Mindoro - 3 hours tops. I can recommend
