Comments	The good: very good diving (compared to Tubbataha reef); low season, very few divers at Sabang Inn, lots of room and service from all resort personel; 42 dive sites at Sabang; lots of competition for diving (53 dive shops); DM,Julio,is more than competent in finding nudi, critters, sharks, turtles, sting ray, dusky sweeper fish, etc.; VERY low prices on most eats and things (massage, escort, T-shirt, etc.)A week alone wo/ lunch, dinner, extra dives and wo/ extra nites would cost less than $400. Chot the 1/2 owner was comical; free Wi Fi. The bad: it was very hot/ humid - - you could sweat in your air condition room with AC on full blast; but, AC with fan on, and you'd not sweat; most days, it was just me, the DM and boat man; strong current at shark cave and sabang west; sorta attack by trigger fish (but,I fended it off with my rod); sometimes, too much particles in the water; Verdi island trip w/ 3 dives and lunch was costly with Atlantis divers.
