I shot so much footage with my buddy ‪@MatthiasLebo‬ on our trip to the Philippines that it felt morally wrong to let all those epic underwater shots sit unwatched on a hard drive in my office. Here's why The Philippines Is Truly World-Class for Scuba Diving

Awesome!

[@Daniel_Megaptera]

Wow!! Simply wow!! The Philippines have a special place in my heart. One of most beautiful I have ever visited and I did my OWD in Moalboal (Cebu Island) and what can I say, it was one of my best decisions in my life 😍

[@DiversReady]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carlmeade1667]

I'm going to Moalboal (and Malapascua) in Feb/Mar (first trip to SE Asia) this video (and your previous ones) is getting me really excited about it. Amazing photography as well.

[@Daniel_Megaptera]

@@carlmeade1667 Enjoy it. It's so cool there!! Pescador island and the Sardines are amazing! Definitely go for a night dive for the Mandarin fish and the pygme seahorses!!! If you have time go to Bohol island which is next to Cebu and visit the Chocolate hills und the little Tarsier! And don't spend much time in Cebu City. Terrible town 😁 Have great journey! You will love the Philippines.

[@TeamTurpin]

Beautiful footage, James.

[@DiversReady]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks John!

[@JackBaller]

I'm GM of Atlas Divers in Malapascua Island where it's definitely a top 5 dive destination in the Philippines. Thresher sharks everyday, we also see tiger and whitetip several days a week. Coral Cat, bamboo sharks and the occasional Whale sharks. Amazing macro too. James you have to come to "Shark Island" next time.

[@scuba.gaurav]

Loved it absolutely, panning shots and angles were just sublime. Bonus: I saw you diving at monkey Beach.

[@DiversReady]

Thank you kindly!

[@gloriaborgardt1]

Beautiful footage! Are the Philippines a safe place for women to travel to?

[@malensalinas2035]

Hola James! :) wich location do you recommend to stay considering the access to best dive sites? thank you!

[@leeannaxanthos-mcqueen8225]

I wish I could have hit the thumbs-up 20 times!

[@DiversReady]

Thanks so much Leanna!

[@wildsurfer12]

With such lovely underwater sights you wonder why so many of their people want to be paid peanuts to look after old people in grey and damp Britain.
