"P.G." Top 5 Page for this destination Puerto Galera by muddybok

Puerto Galera Travel Guide: 361 reviews and 915 photos

I was here one week before the Holy Week, I guess that's the reason why I am more sensitive about those symbolic stuffs that I see on this colorful island. And of course my purpose here is to dive to my heart content.

My dives on first 2 days here really suck ass (my skill, not dive sites), and I don't think it's attributed to my absent to local church prior to Holy Week, but because I loaded myself with too much weight. (will tell you more in my dive tips)

Pros and Cons

Pros:40+ dive sites all close by
Cons:No nice sandy beaches at Sabang Beach
In a nutshell:Who cares about beaches when i am here to dive?

Last visit to Puerto Galera: Apr 2006

I beg to disagree Bok. Your Anglerfish photo made the fish look so beautiful.

I love your secret formula for sun bathing at PG. You have nice lab outfit like Prof. in Power Puff Girls.

I WISH there were banana snacks when I dive!! it's a great way to re-fuel. Yummy. I love HALO HALO too, difficult to get it in Singapore.
