Comments	We dived for 10 days and just about the time I was wearying of muck we would take off for one of the islands, Apo & Siguijor, for instance. The whale shark skin-dive at Cebu was great fun, and I had an exhilarating battle with a titan triggerfish (a very large, very determined one persevering for quite a distance, thank goodness for my large camera). One can make 5 dives a day here but we at times chose to combine the 4th & 5th dives for 1 longer dive. There are some coral gardens near Atlantis, lovely, but not many, and lots of man-made reefs teeming with fish and invertebrates. Fabulous macro subjects, including mating mandarin fish and cardinal fish with eggs in their mouths! The turtles are plentiful, and I've never seen so many octopi and squid in as many varieties and sizes. All of the dive crew are wonderful as is the restaurant staff - you'll be very well-treated and assisted in unexpected ways.
