A friend has invited me to spend the weekend with a bunch of friends and ex-officemates at his brand new dive resort called King Solomon Dive Resort, situated right smack at the center of all the resorts in the popular dive destination in Batangas: Anilao.
first timer? no dive gears? King Solomon Dive Resort has complete gears for rent!

With the new SLEX-Startoll connecting road, ( no need to exit Batangas, just go straight all the way SLEX and it will lead straight to Startoll), our trip going to Anilao was reduced to more or less 2 hours when it used to be about 45 minutes to an hour longer. It is of course, more expensive.Bummer.
Upon arrival, we chose a room & then had a hearty buffet lunch ( super yum! ).

Once we were all suited up, it was time to dive! Our first fun dive is a relatively new site ( to me, atleast ) called Bebot Point. It's quite near Koala dive site and it was about 5-10 minutes bangka ride from the resort. With our divemaster Padoy, we dove about 60feet underwater and had a lot of awesome shots :)
After which, we went the popular dive site Twin Rocks for our friend's intro dive. Current was quite stronger than expected so there was some extra effort involved but we had a grand time nevertheless.
The next day, we were dive master-less, so we maneuvered the rocks and corals infront of King Solomon on our own. Fortunately, its beach-front had a decent dive spot a couple of metres away from its shore.
Oh, did i mention it was also my friend's birthday which made it officially his birthday dive!
