Witness Our Walls
- Puerto Galera,
Oriental Mindoro |
| A little further from
Anilao using Batangas Pier as jump-off point, Puerto Galera is
a natural harbor with fine beaches, green scenery and sheltered
coves. Puerto Galera has grown to become a diving haven due to
its marine diversity, complemented by other activities. At least
two dozen sites have been identified, each providing good opportunity
for photography. Most divers prefer to go to Puerto Galera from
March to October. |

HOW TO GET THERE
Puerto Galera is approximately
4-hours from Manila. Two hours by bus from Manila to Batangas
followed by a two-hour boat ride from Batangas pier to Puerto
Galera. There is a regular transfer from Manila that leaves at
exactly 0900H. The ferry leaves Puerto Galera pier daily at 0900H
for the return trip, just in time to catch the bus coming back
to Manila.
For those who are arriving Manila in the afternoon but would
want to proceed directly to Puerto Galera, it is highly recommended
to hire a private car and rent the dive shop's dive boat for
the night. Backpackers can take public buses going to Batangas.
Last trip for these bus companies is at 1800. The last ferry
that crosses Batangas to Puerto Galera is at 1800H.
At the pier, you can take a jeepney ride or just walk. Most of
the resorts offer a free one-way boat transfer from the pier
to the resort, convenient for divers who are carrying their own
equipment. |
