Description
Portulano Dive Center is a boutique scuba diving resort located in Bauan, the more quiet, private side of Anilao, Balayan Bay, Batangas, the Philippines.
Nestled along the sun-kissed shoreline, the dive center stands as a testament to unwavering commitment to quality and safety.
The dive center's commitment to excellence extends beyond the air, encompassing every diver's essential gear. A treasure trove of new and impeccably maintained dive and snorkeling equipment beckons, awaiting those who seek only the best. Among their offerings, dive computers stand ready to provide essential insights, while underwater flashlights illuminate the mysterious depths.
Set adrift on azure waves, the dive center boasts an impressive fleet of four boats, each tailor-made to cater to different aquatic quests.
Nurtured within their enclave is a saltwater training pool, an oasis of learning and practice. Designed with precision, the pool houses a shallow area, 1.2 meters in depth, purposefully crafted for beginners' scuba diving training. The remainder of the pool descends to an inviting depth of 4 meters, providing ample space for buoyancy refinement, finning techniques, and skill honing. A diligent sand filter and water treatment regimen maintains the pool's pristine allure, supplemented by regular water changes that ensure optimal training conditions.
Adding to the allure of the center, a vibrant house reef lies merely 10 meters from the training pool, serving as a convenient playground for skill development. This proximity facilitates an uninterrupted transition from training to real-world application, allowing divers to seamlessly apply newfound knowledge and abilities.
