Comments	The Visayas Dive Safari ends at Panglao Island and the Oasis Resort. No Nitrox at the Oasis. Divers set up and rinse their own gear. Dive shop employees carry the gear to and from the dive boat. Diving is done from bangkas. To board, a plank is angled from the beach to the bow of the boat. Entry is a side-roll off the bow. Exit is via a dive ladder, after handing up your fins. All dives are guided. Minimal current. Dove Balicasag Island again from Panglao Island. We did three dives there, took a box lunch and stayed on the bangka for the dive intervals. Diving there was awesome. Large schools of jacks and barracuda at Black Forest and Divers Heaven, as well as turtles, scorpion fish, frog fish, nudibranchs. We stayed four days on Panglao. We could have used another 2 or 3 days there, as we didn't get the chance to dive Cabilao Island.
