Comments If you are going solo, you would pay more for diving.
the WiFi worked perfectly.
diving was good; dive site, Lypo, had ;some / few large fihes ; dive site near camp Raya had large clams and regular tropical fishes; few nudi; saw salor eye once; they feed the fishes to produce feeding frenzy.
hotel does not have regular toilet flushing; you have to pour water into the bowl.
food at resort was more expensive than Sabang; you can not eat locally unless you speak Tagalog.
a few local dive resorts were empty; even near empty on weekend.
