Comments	The typhoons of 2011 ans 2012 have significantly impacted the local reefs. My guess is that it will take many years to recover. That said, the critters are there, but not near the abundance of Anilao. While the coral is dead at the house reef and adjacent coast, they are quite good at Apo Island, one of the dive sites visited. The staff and facilities are excellent.

UW Photo Comments	Excellent facilities for underwater photographers, including very nice photo room. There is a ration of six divers per guide, so since this is muck diving, sometimes difficult to get shots. Since we are not overly aggressive underwater photographers, guides saw we were missing a lot of shots and moved photographers to smaller groups of 2-4, which worked out much better.
