In the Philippines, the island of Balicasag is a popular diving site. You can observe a huge silver school of trevally, circling near the reef. A fascinating spectacle... <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Review the Balicasag Reef <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I take you back months, in March 2019. I am then in the Philippines, for two weeks of diving. After the small island of Cabilao<\/strong> (see here \u2192 The Beautiful Surprises of Cabilao, a Coral Gem<\/a>), I continue my stay a little further south, on Panglao<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area is very touristy and not at all \"off the beaten track\", but it is the ideal base camp to go diving in Balicasag<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to go back to see this island, where I had the chance to encounter a whale shark the previous year<\/a>I was also able to discover some local sites, as I was only able to stay a short time during my previous visit in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
