It was April 2025 when some Marin Scuba Club friends and I journeyed to new locations (to me) in the Coral Triangle in the Philippine Islands. We flew into Manilla from both Los Angeles and San Francisco. We stayed the night at the Belmont Hotel near the airport then flew to Dumaguete in the morning.
We spent four days of diving at Pura Vida Resort in the town of Dauin, on the island of Negros Oriental, Philippines. There we dove nearby reefs and muck diving and saw beautiful corals on Apo Island.
Following, we spent five days of diving at Magic Ocean in the municipality of Anda, on the island of Bohol, Philippines. It included lots of wall diving and some muck diving. Here are some photos extracted from the video below:
