Comments	This is a quiet, secluded resort with a wonderful beach and some of the best diving in the world! Getting there is easy: fly to Manila, fly to Dumaguete and then a short van ride to the resort. There's really nothing to do at the resort except dive and veg. No shopping, etc. (who cares anyway!) Dive operation was too restrictive for me. Divemasters don't want to let you out of their sight. You must be at your safety stop w/750 psi! However, divemasters can really be a help pointing out the small stuff. And there is a lot of small and unusual stuff, including varioius pipe fish, frog fish (including the rare hairy frog fish), etc. There are a few dive resorts along the same stretch of beach that might be worth checking out. We are already planning our return trip.
