Comments	One of the very best resorts visited in 30 yrs of diving. Surprisingly easy to get to via Philppines Airlines. Join Mabuhay Miles & Sport Plus (online) to get major overweight baggage discount. Superb food served to you at tables by cheerful, charming waitstaff. Many menu choices which change every day and cater to meat eaters and veggies too. Casual restaurant and bar with excellent sea view. Airconditioned large rooms, hot water showers, hammock & drying areas. Shady pool and garden w/few insects. Dive prep area is very large w/lockers and very helpful staff. Nitrox and camera room. Multiple covered panga style boats; not too crowded. Also 6-pack boat. Excellent house reef: sea horss, sea moths and other weird critters. Most dive sites 5-10 mins. Island walls 20 mins away. A great balance of top-notch resort and great critters. I will go back. Also available: Local support for tech diving (stages, O2, helium, rebreathers, training)by Matt Reed of Triton Tech Diving

UW Photo Comments	You can travel to Indonesia or PNG and (perhaps) see most of the same critters, but in nothing like the comfort nor at the price of this excellent resort
