Sirenna 's comments (updated on Sep 4, 2005), in VirtualTourist: Definitely an activity worth trying while you are in Boracay. Experienced divers should try the wreck, and the wall dive at Yapak.
White Beach Divers come highly recommended - they are a nice friendly crowd. They offer courses in English and German. They can also film your experience for you - a nice souvenir to take home.
