Experience a land of 7,107 beautiful islands with lush rainforests, caves and waterfalls; stunning beaches, pristine reefs and a diverse marine eco system, home to some of the finest dive sites in the world. Scientists have likened the huge diversity of marine life to that of the most prolific rainforests. It's in Moalboal that divers can take full advantage of this. Dive with the dugongs at Dimakya island, thresher sharks at Malapascua or snorkel with whale sharks in Donsol. For wreck enthusiasts, do not miss the Japanese WWll vessels in Sangat. The underwater diversity is overwhelming and one of the best ways to explore is either by island hopping or by one of the liveaboards which offer different itineraries depending on the season (Anilao, Southern Leyte, Palawan, Visayas and Tubbataha). Generally, the dry season is Dec-Jun although there are plenty of exceptions to the rule in this island nation.
