bahura on the other hand translates to reef. actually the site is like an underwater cliff where the current really rips and where viz can be a "gin clear" 100ft. turtles & sharks can be seen there.

I have been diving with Jon and other PPD in Anilao and it's terrific. Where are you from?
Philippines
You just haven't been diving until you dive the Philippines. I know many Kanos that come to the PI and never leave because the diving (day and night) is so great. If you want to see the best come dive with the best. Anilao was the birthplace of the Philippine SCUBA diving industry. It is just one place on 7000 plus islands to dive. So, what are you waiting for?

Hmm... What can I say?
Looking at all the posts, they are all from somewhere way way out west.
So I guess diving the eastern sea board of the US isn't so exciting compared
to the blue waters out there.
I dove from Rhode Island to Central America to the northern tip of South America.
Having the second largest coral reef at my back door doesn't hurt either.
Mexico down towards South America. Mexico, Belize, Bahamas (Cay Sal Banks
is a nice spot, lots of sharks).
I'm a PADI DM starting my IDC, Adv. Nitrox, Trimix, rebreather and about a
gazillion other certs. Been diving since before I was born and still diving today.
It's my passion. It's nice coming to work and having people I don't even know ask me, where did you go diving this week?
If you're in the area, look me up. I'm always ready to go diving...

newbie in this forum...
hello to fellow divers -- filipinos and other nationalities!
looking forward to an exciting exchanges of dive stories and fun with you all.
i love diving the area of ligpo island and its pinnacles -- depending on the season, its either a slack dive or a nerve-wracking drift dive! woohooo! depths ranges from 90ft to 150ft... but there are shallow portions too.
