Comments I was warned about the quality of diving in Boracay, but that is where our timeshare was. Indeed it was hit or miss, but I still found some macro subjects. There are better locations in PI if that is all you want. Boracay offers other activities, shopping and beautiful beaches for non-divers.

Victory Divers required the divers to walk 10 minutes then swim through the shore break with a bag full of gear to a waiting panga that you had to climb a dicey stair.

Victory has great breakfasts and German food properly cooked.
