IN MY OPINION: The Philippines has extremely good diving, but don't expect to see the big animals (and the frequency that you encounter them) that you see in other areas like Micronesia.  Yes, there are schools of barracuda, jacks, and even occasional sharks, but most of the diveistes we've seen I'd rate equial to or better than any area in Micronesia for sheer beauty, abundance of reef fish, and very unusual critters.

Add to this the Philippines has such a wide range of non diving activities and shopping opportunities along with some of the friendliest and most accommodating people anywhere I've ever traveled.

GETTING THERE: What's absolutely GREAT is that you can go to almost any destination there from Guam and within 24 hours you've gotten there and have a couple of dives under your belt.
