    It looks fantastic Steve, but I was unable to do it due to the terrible weather when I was in Bicol back in August. Have a great time and take lots of pics

    I did it once, by accident!

    We were diving off Mactan Island in Cebu. Just after getting into the water, my dive buddy started waving his hands and pointing behind me. As I turned around, an enormous whale shark filled my entire field of vision as it swam by. It was massive!
