Comments	ROOMS FACING THE BEACH ARE ADEQUATE TO SYAY. VERY CLOSE TO THE BOAT TO DIVE. LILOAN IS ONE OF THE BEST SITE TO ENCOUNTER WHALESHARKS. I JUST WANT TO GET SOME VIDEO FOOTAGE HERE. THEY ARE ALMOST DOMESTIC, SINCE FEEDING BY LOCAL PEOPLE CLOSE TO SHORE EVERY MORNING. DIVERS WITH DIVEGEARS SWIM WITH 4 OR 5 WHALESHARKS. DIVE SHOP NEVER CHARGE SPECIAL PRICE, AS OPPOSED TO HIGH PRICE FOR SNORKELERS FROM MACTAN SLAND. APART FROM WHALESHARK, A LOT OF SMALL CRITTERS NERA LILOAN SHORE AND SCHOOLONG JACKS IN SOME ISLAND WHERE CORAL FORMATION IS EXCELLENT. ONE OF THE COST EFFECTIVE DIVE SITE IN THE CORAL TRAIANGLE.

UW Photo Comments	EASY TO SHOOT SMALL CRITTERS SUCH AS FROGFISH AND HALEQUIN GHOSTPIPEFISH. THEY ALWAYS STAY THE SAME PLACE. EASY TO TAKE WHALESHARK PICTURES AND VIDEOS WITH DIVE GEAR. BUT HARD TO VIDEO WITHOUT SNORKELERS ON THE SURFACE.
