This was first time in Philippines and I was pleasantly surprised by the
friendly people and great diving.
Atlantis resort was excellent for staff,service, quality of food, clean
attractive rooms, always had hot water and had clean sheets every other
day. Very professional DiveMasters and guides are at Atlantis Puerta
Galera. There were lots of crinoids, lionfish, frogfish, leaf fish, large
batfish in schools, nudibranchs, all   kinds of angelfish, triggerfish, and
more!More Americans should visit the Philippines. Diving is like jumping
into an aquarium. The few sites with strong currents were managable with
help  from the Divemasters.

Only thing that disturbed me was that the Filipinos  hit and abuse dogs and
cats and treat them as if they were pests; sad to see that.
