I have gone to Loloata for diving in the Lunar New Year. Our dive team consists of 4 divers and join Suns and Seas diving package at cost $15200.
We set off on 6 Feb and return on 12 Feb.

D1

Departure time is 19:00 and 7 other divers. The flight is via Manila and total flight time is about 7 hours. We arrive at 5:00 a.m. local time. ( HK time is 3:00 a.m.). Pick-up bus travel 15 min. to pier and speed boat is another 15 min. The first dive begins at 10:30 a.m. after 2 hr sleep and 2 dive in the afternoon. The sea is very choppy in the first dive. So many divers are vomit and feed the fish.

D2-D6

3-4 dives daily. Diving schedule is 2 dives in the morning. Travel time is about 30min. and dive in the open sea. The fish life is very good. However, the visibility is not so good. Current is moderate and water temperature is 29C. Soft drink and towel are served between dives. Afternoon dive is close too the resort and the visibility is only 10m.

Fish life


The highlights are "Pymgy Seahorse" and " Lacy Scorpion Fish". There are many naudibranch, lionfish, anemone, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp and some unknown fish.

Resort

The room is spacious with sea view balcony. The food is ok good and the arrangement is very good. However, the dive boat is little bit small.
I think Loloata is a very nice place to dive and will be do better in dry season.
