General Information

Philippines consists of about 7,000 islands in the western Pacific Ocean, but only about 2,000 islands are inhabited, so it's a good opportunity for diving and snorkelling. You may on board this crab-like ship to enjoy a relax tropical vacation.

In general, the best time to travel is from December to May. It's hot all the year but during the off-season for typhoon. Philippines is the only Christian country in Asia. The locals are very friendly and has great passion for tourists. I think they also with a little bit Latin style.
Map of Cebu and Bohol

Cebu

Cebu is the oldest city located at Visayas archipelago in Philippines, formerly known the "Queen city of the South".

The Mactan Island, Moalboal and Cabilaop Island...are the most popular dive spots in Cebu, there are several dive centers in Metro Cebu that offer the dive equipment and training course.

We started form Manila to Cebu by domestic flight, then transferred to ship arrived in Bohol and took about one hour and fifty minutes.
Chocolate Hills

Bohol

Most part of the dive sites are in the south of Bohol, and the dive sites always to be close to others. The current in the sea, then you could find the barracudas, very spectacular. I was dive 4 cylinders a day, and 4 successive days. It's really to enjoy myself to the full.

Chocolate Hills, also the famous sopt here. One by one and with circular of the mountaintop, just like the name "Chocolate Hills".

The Bohol Island is surrounded by great blue sea and its white sand beach is the best love for tourist.
