There
are many other popular wreck diving areas including
Busuanga Island
with 12 WWII Japanese wrecks that were sunk in September
1944.
Palawan also hosts 40% of Philippine
coral reefs with incredible drop-offs. And whether you are
scuba diving or just snorkeling, the reefs off the islands of
El Nido boast
a dazzling array of color teeming with rich marine life.
Absolutely amazing!
Closer
to Bali Hai in La Union, the Lingayan Gulf just west of
San Fernando has eight main reefs and some good
drop-offs.
Surfing
is becoming popular here and is best during the north
east monsoon that blows from October to February. A
popular local destination is San Juan, just north of
Bali Hai.
And
after a hard day in the tropical waters you can lay back
under the shade of a palm tree, sip on your favorite
drink, and watch the setting sun turning the tropical
clouds into a golden hue.

Natural Wonders
The Chocolate Hills of Bohol are
another of the Philippines' natural wonders. Of uniform shape
and rising from 40 to 120 meters, the 1268 hills look like a

giant.
