I spent 5 months in the Philippines (extended holiday) in 1999, and travelled around the country. Great snorkling/diving sites in many areas.
There's a diving paradise in Sabang Beach - I'm not a diver, but had done alot of snorkling there during the month I was there. I had planned to look into a diving course when I had to cut my visit short after taking a bad fall from a banca (outrigger) and braking my heelbone.
I plan to get back there again in 2001 for several months. Have a look at my Philippines website at:
