Hello everybody, I will be coming to the Philippines in late Sept. and I'm trying to decide between Puerto Gallera or Alona/Panglao. I have 9 days and I enjoy macro stuff but I'm hoping to also see some pelagics and some shark activity. Which is the better all around destination? I'm leaning towords Alona as it seems like it has less divers and little less pressure on the environment. Any comments will be apreciated.

you would be closer to the pelagics at Panglao.
 
I vote Bohol: the dive areas there are>>> Panglao island (alona), balicasag island and cabilao island.
