One caveat: I loved diving in the Coron area with the WW2 wrecks. However, these dives are rountinely treated like casual, tropical "follow me" dives when these are actually advanced, wreck penetration dives. I was horrified to hear one diver talk about how they almost died on one of the wrecks due to a silt out, but "luckily the DM came back for me & pulled me out." Um, what? I thought this was specific to the dive shop I was with. It wasn't. This casual treatment of wrecks appears to happen often in the area so dive the area, but make sure you first have the training for these dives and protect yourself.

Where is Bohol?

Bohol is a island in the Visayas region of the Philippines---due south of the island of Cebu. Uh you're in Manila and don't know this?

And you missed Puerto Galera / Sabang too

"Best" is all relative, depends on what you are looking for.

Nudibranchs and macro life it's Anilao hands down

Wrecks Coron and Subic Bay

Nice coral and deep wall dive same as most places in the country but without the hordes of tourists. And they are very SAFE!
