Diving in The Philippines (II)

The Philippines are one of my favorite places to go for diving. You will find everything a diver wants. From steep coral walls in Balicasag and Cabilao to underwater mounds with sharks at Malapascua, muck diving of the best in Negros and a bay full of wrecks in Busuanga. Current swept islands like Apo, Apo Reef and Tubbataha with large fish or gentle slopes around Siquijor - the Philippines has everything to your hearts content!
I have been there seven times for extensive diving. I have compiled many pages of information, tips about dive areas, descriptions and maps of dive sites and liveaboards, photos of the underwater animals you will find there, and much more.- Teresa Zubi.

Valerie Taylor, passionate diver and book author wrote 1982:

"The Philippines is today one of the richest marine areas I have ever seen. I remember clearly my first trip there. Many marine creatures I have seen only once. Some specimens new to science, others uncommon in our waters... . The mother of all living things, nature's ultimate gift, yet we destroy its treasures, pollute its purity, rape its abundance, ignoring the warnings of approaching disasters, for already it is dying and the life it supports it with."

Remember, she wrote this 1982. How looks marine life today? Divers can tell you...
