Hi Tongben,
The Philippines offer wonderful diving experiences. Anilao is great for macro photography and there are beautiful reefs out around Sombrero. Dove there many times and plan to return again and again. Crystal Blue is a good place to stay with some good dive guides. Nice thing about Anilao is it is only a 2.5 hour van ride from Manila airport, no ferries or plane needed to get there.

Puerto Galera is just across the Batangas strait from Anilao and also offers some world class diving. Atlantis is a great hotel and dive operation with one of the best restaurants of any dive resort I have ever been to anywhere in the world.

If you have time to fly down to Dumaguete then a trip out to Apo Island is a must. One of the best dive sites in the Philippines and Dumaguete has some good muck diving for critters. Atlantis is again a great place to stay.
