As the title says, I'm from the US and married a girl from Cebu. I'ved dived all over the southeastern US, the Bahamas and Cayman Islands. Been diving for 20 years this coming spring. I can say without doubt that the most enjoyable diving was in Boracay. I enjoyed everything about it. The way I was usually the only diver on the boat, (or 2 or 3 other divers, NO CATTLE BOATS). The way I had my own divemaster who was kind enough to show me the sites underwater and wait patiently while I took pictures.
The coral, the critters, you name it, I loved it. The friendly people, the laid back way of life really struck a chord with me. It's expensive for us to get there, and we don't have a lot in the budget to spend on travel, but more than reasonable once you get there. Of course we are going back as soon as we can so my wife can see her family. We semi-joke about moving there for good some day.
I realize I'm rambling on here, but I guess I just wanted to introduce myself to this forum. I tell everyone I know here how wonderful the diving and the whole way of life is over there, and it usually raises some eybrows. I must admit, I never considered diving in the Philippines until I met my wife, but I'm sure glad I did!
