Comments	There was no real bad; the sea was slightly chilly once at 28 deg.C. The other bad was forgetting to pack or bring 10ppm colloidal silver which is good for eye, ear or stomach infection. The good: not crowded; never more than 6 divers for ea. of 2 dive masters; the students had their own instructor instead of a DM; there was no shark seen; but, there were turtles and a sting ray; a master diver got to dive by himself; lots of nudibranchs besides the common chromodoris; a baby cuttle fish was photographed; a sea anemone had 3 baby, small orangutan crabs; some small critters; there were some sea horses-- black,spotted, white, etc. A previous owner ( Thierry) is moving to Anilao where there is no night life; his photos were very good as usual. There is a new cafe, Rosie, where the good Filipino food is even cheaper than The Sabang restaurant. For those on a budget, the Atlantis would cost ~ 3 x the cost of lodging, diving and food at the Sabang Inn; return divers pay 900 peso per tank, whereas , next door, cost is 1200 peso and at Atlantis (~ $40 USD or 1840 peso).
