Comments	Resort caters to divers. Short boat rides on ponga-type boats to dive sites. Gear handled by crew, help put on BC's before easy backward roll into water. Remove BC and fins in water and handed up by crew, then an easy climb up the ladder into boat. We were fortunate to have a marine biologist dive guide for our group of 6 divers. Great briefings. Snorkeled with the whale sharks - great fun, two trips on an 80 foot outrigger to Apo Island to dive the reefs. Saw blue ringed octopus, wonderpus, sea crates, sea moths, mandarin fish mating ritual, ghost pipefish, frogfish, seahorses, jawfish with eggs and more. Dive gear storage room exceptional. Food was multiple gourmet choices and beautifully presented. Staff bend over backwards to accommodate guests. Head/neck/shoulder massage on arrival at resort. Cebu Airlines cancelled our connecting flight when we were at the airport causing us to miss our connection home out of Manilla. This caused us to stay an extra night and incur non-refundable charges of $750/pp with Philippine Airlines for missing the flight. Stay with Philippine airlines all the way through.
