Comments	Almost all the muck diving critters of PNG and Indonesia, but much easier to get to and much more comfortable. Leafy Sea dragon, flamboyant cuttlefish and Sea wasps in first 15 mins of one dive. Other dives, all within 5-10 mins or resort as exceptional. Many mid size fish due to multiple areas protected from fishing. 30-40 mins to Apo & Siquijor Islands w/amazing healthy corals in profusion. Guides are excellent, enabling these old eyes to spot critters. Resort was full, but boats uncrowded. Two six-pack and several larger outrigger long boats (Bangkas). Depths were 15-80 fsw on most dives. Large, covered dive equipment setup area w/ multiple rinse tanks, showers and secure cubby storage. Technical diving support available. 5 star food, really. A/C, en-suite bath, double occupancy rooms on two levels set in lush gardens. Spa and big swimming pool. Direct 50 min flight from Manila; resort picks u up and manages all bags. Value, service & cheerful, charming, attentive staff made this the one resort to which I returned.
