PH famous dive spots featured in Lonely Planet
In her article, Lonely Planet writer Angela Ballard described the Philippines as a site where thousands of dives sites are scattered throughout the country, with more than 1,200 macro and open sea or pelagic enchanting species that live in the Philippine waters.
“Board a liveaboard in Puerto Princesa City, then sail to dive sites like Amos Rock, Washing Machine and Black Rock to experience 600 species of fish, 360 species of coral, 11 species of sharks and 13 species of dolphins and whales, along with manta rays, barracuda, nudibranchs, pipefish and seahorses,” she said.
“Moalboal is world-renowned for its sardine run, an enormous bait ball of approximately seven million small fish that attract larger marine life in search of food. While you can dive in the warm Philippine waters year round, you’ll witness the most wildlife and avoid monsoons if you visit between March and June,” she said.
“This citation from the largest travel guide book publisher, Lonely Planet, is positive news, something to be proud of especially for the tourism stakeholders of Tubbataha, Palawan, and Cebu,” Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat said in a statement.
