Comments	beautiful resort, good service, dive operation as good as it gets. getting on an off the boat was difficult; shore entry and when we were there most times the water was rough. crew practically carried me to the boat when it was rough altho a few times I was chest deep in surge. Muck lovers only!!!! 90% of the diving is muck, but very good muck, many tiny critters I had never seen, lot of exotic shrimps, some nudis, blue-ringed octopus, flamboyant cuttlefish, and cooperative mandarinfish. During the 2 weeks we were there we had 3 opportunities to go to Apo and one to Sijiquor Island . No big deal, pretty walls, and some large schools of fish but nothing we had not seen before. Getting there and back was rough; fun for me, but cold. getting back on the boat not easy. quite a bit of current. We did not go again, enjoyed the muck more. spa was very nice recommend only for experience divers.
