We just got back from Dumaguete. Although I saw more odd critters in Dumaguete for videotaping, the diving itself is better in the Panglao region.
In fairness to Duma, a typhoon had been in the area 2 weeks prior, but there just wasn't as much coral there compared to Alona Beach (Panglao).
Apo Island is awesome diving though, 20 minutes away from the shores, but the waters were clearer for me on Balicasag Island, 20 minutes away from Panglao Island in Bohol.
Alona beach seem to be one big wall, shallow out for quite a ways, then dropping down to 70-90 feet to the bottom. At the bottom there are all sorts of bizarre things, like crabs that remove and grow polyps on themselves, colonial salps at night, carrier crabs that rip off pieces of sea fan and hold them over their bodies like roman gladiator shields, etc.
