The diving was very good. The corals in this area seem to be in very good shape, although there were very few big fish. The dive operators in this area seem to be very protective of the local reefs, and it shows. Our dive guide, Leo, tried very hard to point out critters that we were interested in. Diving is from Bancas, which takes a little getting used to. Our night dives were in Sabang Bay, which were muck dives. We saw spanish dancers, eels, a variety of nudibranchs, and a frogfish during the night dives. Nitrox was available and reasonable ($6 per tank). The accomodations were inexpensive, but small; we upgraded to the largest room available. Cleaning was not as thorough as we would have liked. The food in the on-site restaurant was good and inexpensive. Overall, a fairly inexpensive dive vacation with better than average diving. |
