thank you all for your comments but thats not what I wanted to know. I want to know if there is good shore diving from Samal Island, not any of the smaller cays around Samal Island. Thanks any way. I’m looking for comments from experienced divers with atleast 200 dives or more.

thanks again , Gary

Thanks, Ms Caroline. I hope that is helpful to Gary and others.

Also thanks for the URI to Marex, as I didn’t have that. I will check them out during our visit.

I would recommend big ligid island (small ligid is one next to it) also known as Beunavista Island.You can view the islands on google earth and search their website if you want to know more about the private resort. Both islands are owned by the Ayala family.The big ligid is more accessable by locals who knows the people who are “tenant” on the island,I happen to know someone who knows someone who owns the boat I rented for a day.I went snorkling there and the corals are still unspoiled,just be careful as there are lots of sea urchins all over even in the shallow part of the beach.Bring lots of food and drinks as there is no store on the island.
Ps: Ask your boat driver to go around the island for the white sand beach.I did not know about this until I viewed it on google earth…lol!!

Thanks Randy, but I’m looking for a specific answer to my question and not a “I don’t know” answer..

I don’t know one kind of diving from another but I know there is a lot of diving around Punta del Sol. You might search a bit as there are some references on here.

Hi Krissybee – thanks for the feedback on the school and Mr. Ramos. It’s good to know that they are a good outfit. Sounds like you might be going back again.
