Diving Philippines – diverse underwater life

Diving sites in Philippines are one of the best in the world. Philippine waters are extremely rich with coral reefs and marine life. Although I have made only a few dives I have seen things I have never seen before. The most attractive new thing was a Whale Shark which is the largest living fish species on earth (the largest confirmed individual was 12.65 metres in length). Unfortunately the water was not clear so I was not able to take a good photo of the “monster”. Along this large fish I have seen a lot of miniature marine life like slugs and of course my all time favourite The Clownfish aka. Nemo.
