Sogod is my fave place in the Philippines that I've dived so far (Tubbataha and Davao being the others) -- it really is still undiscovered and even without the whaleys it's got tremendous marine life. I wanna go back!

Can't open the link, which photo is that?

 

[Divehappy]

it's the one with the snorkeller in the foreground and the two whale sharks in the background, one near the surface and one heading down. Glorious!

Oh yes... I offered the photo for $1000 to the person in the photo... LOL

I'm thinking of going in March of next year. One thing I am not seeing in pics is Pelagic's or Medium marine life...other than the WhaleSharks. Is it mostly small stuff like Nudi's or Pygmy seahorses?

 

[pakman]

Tavelnsj, that's correct if I remember correctly. Small critters, small reef fish, ---, and whale sharks... And of course some very healthy coral...

Have you been to Lembeh Straits or Wakatobi?...if so how do you compare?

 

[Sharx Inside]

Lembeh Straits if of course better in terms of macro critters. It's one of the best muck diving in the world. The only (very minor) downside of Lembeh is the limited coral reef and the muck dives can get quite monotonous. Very minor because the critters will still keep you busy throughout all your dives. And hey, divers go there for the muck dive anyway, corals can somehow get forgotten =P

Haven't been to Wakatobi yet, so I'm so sure how it compares...
