The shoaling sardine million of Moalboal never ceases to amaze anyone... but this happy November trip with Naui Course Director Clemence Swee got me kinda hooked on taking photos of colorful soft corals. I've been to Moalboal many many times and as usual passed by the must do sites...

Massive soft coral overhangs amazes any underwater tourist

Sardines at Panagsamana, Plane Wreck at Copton Pt, The Cathedral at Pescador Island, completely ignored shooting macro (while prolific, was too lazy to shift to a macro lens) and instead wandered aimlessly around Tonggo point, Dolphin House and Talisay and was fascinated with gardens upon gardens of lush coral growth alongside a healthy population of hawksbill and green sea turtles.
If you have done Palau and Maldives, you can see much big fish like sharks and mantas but you'll find the reefs lacking in vibrance and hues. There is a reason why foreigners love diving the Philippines so much... our reefs are just blessed with so much color... since we started diving alongside them, we usually overlook at whats in front of us. Diving outside the Philippines helps us spoiled Filipino divers to rediscover appreciating the rich hues and tones of our reefs. Below are some photos highlighting the colorful dives which I have taken for granted in the past...
