Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte

posted on Sunday, January 3, 2016

Going to Sogod Bay in Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte was just the perfect year-ender trip for Ling and I in 2015. There are three resort choices along Sogod Bay: Southern Leyte Divers Resort, Peter’s Dive Resort and Sogod Bay Scuba Resort. We opted to stay with Sogod Bay Scuba Resort. Their Ocean View cottage cut the deal for me. Overnight cost of the room is P1,800 good for 2 pax. We availed of the resort’s special diving package worth P21,000, inclusive of a 3-night accommodation plus breakfast.


From Tacloban, Sogod Bay is 3 hours away. You can either take a van or bus en route to Maasin, Leyte or arrange an airport pick-up with the resort. The resort itself is just along the highway.


We did a total of 6 dives. It was both a wide-angle and macro haven.


Aside from diving, travellers can also visit Cambaro Caves and Uwan-uwanan Gorge. Day trip for these eco-adventure tours are around P1,000-P1,050/pax for a group of 10 persons.

About Mona

Certified as a PADI rescue diver. Got my first compact camera in 2011. I was simply content then to just capture a glimpse of what I see during my dives. It was only last February 2014 that I fully maximized the use of manual macro settings.

My camera skills and knowledge are still a work in progress. Enjoy browsin’!
