Comments	After a 14 hour flight from LAX to Manila direct we drove about 2 and 1/2 hours to the resort built on the side of a hill. My nice room was at the very top so I had a wonderful view over the water but had 97 steps to climb 3 times a day and half that another 3-4 timss. The camera room near the lowest level was a wonderful space with room for 15-20 people with their cameras. Each space had a towel laid out with a separate light and electrical outlets. The room was locked at 6pm every night. The area for suiting up was spacious and had assigned areas for the 3 boats that went out every day. Wetsuits, booties and all dive gear was hung up to dry in that assigned area. The DMs took care of the BCs and flippers for every dive, setting up and dismantling. It seemed as though the dog that was tied up there every day took care of safeguarding the equipment at night. The Dms were very good and found whatever one wanted to see - all small critters - many different nudibranchs, octopus, giant and small frogfish, giant clams, etc. We did two dives from the boat in the am and then one in the afternoon. Night dives were available as were fourth dives in the afternoon. All equipment and weights were lifted from the divers by the help on the boat. The divers then climbed the ladder to get on board. Food at the resort was very good with a buffet served every meal. The selections at all meals were excellent. There was a small boutique at the resort which carried a nice variety of souvenirs.
