I was here diving for 3 weeks and it was a fabulous time.

I flew down from Manila (1 hour) and a 20 minute transfer to the resort with an aircon van. They have a very high standard and the dive groups are up to a maximum of 6 divers per guide. Most guides are philippinos which speak very good english. They do almost everything for you .. diving related... that you really only have to breath under water...

All coastal dives are max 12 minutes away with the speedboat and you usually get 3 boatdives per day. Right in front of the resort is a great house reef where frogfish, Nudibranchs and ghostpipefish are common. All kinds of Makro stuff is what you should expect.

On daytrip to Apo Island with great lunchbuffet I saw probably the most beautiful soft coral gardens I have ever seen in my life. No sharks on my trip, but plenty of dolphins were playing with our Bangka on the trip home.

It was a great holiday and for sure not the last time I will be down there....
