From Oct 6, 09 Undercurrent: "We've often praised the Philippines for inexpensive dive tourism and good range of healthy dive sites. The number of visiting divers grew by 63 percent in the first quarter of 2009. Cebu, Bohol and Palawan were the most visited. The number of American divers increased by 37 percent, thanks to recession-friendly prices." Kyoko has been to various Philippines islands and dive resorts and wants to return with a group next year.
