| Comments | Sogod Bay is a somewhat sleepy area in Southern Leyte. Sogod Bay Scuba Resort is one of several in the area. The hotel was very nice. Clean and relaxing, with nice restaurant and good food. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. The diving was outstanding. It was an excellent combination of gorgeous reefs with a smattering of outstanding muck sites. I was there during Whale Shark season and during that period they offer Whale Shark trips, which includes one dive and then searching for Whale Sharks to snorkel with. The dive masters were excellent and were great at finding all things big and small. They ran a safe and enjoyable operation. There is also a pier in town from which they do night shore dives. It is a shallow dive loaded with all kinds of small critters, including sea horses and blue ring octopi. I will definitely return to this destination some day and I will definitely stay at Sogod Bay Scuba Resort. | ||

Shore Facilities | |
| UW Photo Comments | There was no rinse buckets on the boats, but they had rinsing facilities on shore. There was plenty of room on the boat for camera equipment and the crew handled cameras properly. There were plenty of great subjects to shoot throughout the week. | ||
