考初級潛水員牌
今次嘅trip同以前嘅好唔同............目標喺去學同考個初級潛水員牌 (open water cert - recreational,俗稱o仔)番嚟............因為我想學嘅時候...........d水已經凍.............香港嘅教練已開始收爐.............只可以去東南亞學

有人介紹1間好耐歷史嘅香港潛水學校 (http://www.paradive.com.hk/resort/)............佢有間diving resort喺cebu...........先喺香港上2堂lecture..........之後由菲藉教練同我做落水training + 實習 (因無香港教練喺cny呢段時間飛過去教)

我用盡我嘅假期...........extend咗個考牌course (本來4d3n)到7d6n............多謝hk$8,610.............只喺無包機票, dinner，保險...........cover咗10 dives...........6晚住宿, 早,午餐.............single room surcharge............租器材.............教練,考試.........機場接送



機票
機票要自己攪掂...........揀咗平airline - cebu pacific..............我都算遲買機票..............喺early nov 2016..............有promotion嘅時候買.................無買行李.........但夾硬迫你比$$$$食餐, 揀座位.............我唔小心買咗佢個保險............成為hk$2,603.2 ($2,213.08+$116+$169.12+$105)/人................其實埋單條數都唔喺好平

因為想快..............喺搭車時用手機買機票...............唔知發咩癲guest name無打到passport name.............直至payment完咗.............見到個confirmation email.............就發現lai嘢...............於是即晚打去hotline.............嚴格嚟講.............我張promotional ticket喺唔比改名

個hotline應該喺菲律賓cebu pacific centre................接電話喺個賓仔...............但喺大部份講嘅英文我都聽唔明...........死火!!!..........抄底咗個email.............咁之後就會有black & white叫我點做

之後番嚟覆去好多次...............每次只會問1樣嘢/ 要你submit1樣嘢...............要解釋點解會寫錯passport name (呢個好難答)............宜家ticket個名喺點樣嚟？..............要submit letter of authorization for name correction (佢嘅standard form)............要提供passport copy (連埋簽名嗰頁).............有咩official document用宜家ticket呢個名？

攪咗1輪............佢終於approve幫我改番成passport name.............而且亦無收我$$$$


酒店
住咗2間resort...................香港潛水公司個package喺連埋住宿.....................最後嗰晚住costabella tropical beach hotel................喺2016 nov頭thru booking.com訂


best season
-陽光海灘 : 每年嘅nov - apr...........coz may開始雨季
-diving (我個人認為) : mar - may

唱$$$$

香港潛水公司話cebu airport個rate唔好....................可以喺香港唱少少.............或去到同resort唱................但唔多肯幫我問佢個resort當日喺咩rate (唔喺今日問幾日後咩價)............fine~~~~最後無特別喺香港唱.............因為應該當地唱嘅rate喺好過香港

綜合咗我見到同實際唱$$$$嘅記錄
-hk$1 = 6.1349 peso (香港牛記rate...............後來發現香港個rate都好過resort個rate)

-hk$1 = 6.41 peso (manila airport - foreign exchange)
-hk$1 = 5.71 peso (cebu airport................同manila airport差咁遠嘅!!!!)

-hk$1 = 5.90 peso (cebu paradive diving resort (我住嘅resort)............我1d都無同佢唱)
-hk$1 = 6.29 peso (cebu savemore內)

day 1行程 - jan 24, 2017 (tue)

plaza premium lounge

check in完後................今次去gate 1嗰個.............主要嚟食吓魚蛋粉同腸粉.............拎支水先

上機

check in同boarding都喺t1............佢無得做online check in.............1去到counter.............多人排隊到有點亂....................每個counter都寫住唔同嘅flight #.............我班機有3個counter..............1 group客都process超耐..........好彩我早去機場

5j111 (etd 10:40am)...........之後再要轉機到目的地cebu airport (ceb)

迫人買嘅飛機餐..........點會有寄望鴉!!!

去到manila機場 (mnl) terminal 3 (eta 1:05pm...........坐咗~2.5 hrs)

唱$$$$

~1:20pm已經cleared custom............我layover有3 hrs..............喺manila轉機喺要執埋行李............完全出arrival hall.............之後再去樓上departure hall................因為我無check in luggage..............所以我唔洗等行李出...............大把時間

1出嚟.............成"辣"找換店.............我多時間到逐間影.............因為我有hkd同usd喺手............有d shop個兌usd rate好d.............有d喺hkd rate好d..............最後我揀咗呢間用hkd兌peso..............@6.41..............好後悔只兌咗hkd500啫

買data sim card

見到有手機咭賣................2間公司 (globe同smart)痴住1齊............我隨意揀咗globe..............因為我要8日............所以唯有買1個月, 1.5gb data用量...............多謝500 peso.............店員幫我set好晒.............仲有優惠可以free 1樣apps嘅data用量............我揀咗fb

如果within 5日.............就好似300 peso

轉機

上番幾層..............有分domestic flight同international flight入口..............佢個domestic custom check得好認真.............要除鞋

途中見到呢間cake shop...........google check過好似都出名..............咁跟女店員推介呢個芋頭有餡cake.............28 peso..............喺軟熟..............甜度唔高.........可惜自發粉都喺落多咗少少...........食到丁丁嘅苦味

再搭5j569 (etd 4:20pm)...............機場近乎無電子水牌...........我唯有問地勤reconfirm我班機個gate #............去到gate口.............會boarding前人手轉咗個水牌............不過上咗機後...............坐咗1 hr等take off.............最後etd 5:12pm

又1餐被迫買嘅飛機餐............喺hazelnut banana croissant.............味道都ok喎

去到cebu機場 (eta 6:40pm...........坐咗~1.5 hr)..............同resort職員捉咗1陣"e因"...............佢哋竟然無車................個女職員喺同我排隊搭的士

第1次住diving resort...........嚟到都夜了............無晚餐serve...........佢哋唔會有24 hrs嘅front desk.............問咗女職員如果食local嘢............可以去邊度.............佢介紹咗呢間食grill嘅~~~~

1) 串燒

-好細串,的骰.........所以local人通常都食5-6串.........我唔肚餓，所以試2串得喇
-佢嘅選擇好少，只有2款，另1款喺腸之類
-喺豬肉，味道都ok

2) 香葉糯米條

-問咗喺飯嚟.............試咗1條,唔熱.............不過d糯米吸晒葉嘅清香.............帶點甜
-好味
