Took off with a few people from work, including my current boss who is an enthusiastic diver. After playing around with waterjets (surpsinigly quite fun!) time to get serious and put the divegear on. We rented quite a large boat, and started patrolling the reefs. Water turquise and crystal clear as the standard in the Philippines seems to be.
Fisr stop was Tambuli reef, where we faced some strong currents and a sea snake was immediately waiting for us. Another interesting thing here was the sunken airplane, a wreck to fool around with was quite unique. However it was a turnoff to realize that it was deliberatly put there for the divers sake. Thats really lame! Not that it's that new of an idea, in the gulf of Mexico they sunk a whole 250 meter long (888 feet) aircraft carrier the USS Oriskany just for the divers. Read more.
So, this was just a small plane, actually just a reminder of the stuff waiting at the Coron Bay, and those wrecks are the realk thing from WW2.
So yeah lets face it, it was a boring dive and diving with your boss is never a great idea since it definately takes some elements off the thing. Also visibilitywise, even Philippines do have good visibility, after Cozumel Mexico, nothing really is the same!
