Borocay (and the Philippines in general) hosts a large number of excellent dive sites, so we booked a couple of dives with Borocay Scuba Ltd. The day we went out it was spectacularly windy, and even in the shelter of the island the small dive boat was quickly bouncing around on the short journey.

The first dive at Christmas Rock was a shallow dive around a small reef with some interesting coral formations. The best part of the dive were the fish that were everywhere. Using a hired underwater camera it was easy to take shots of the fish, as they were constantly swimming in front of the lens. The reason for this is down to the regular fish feeding tours, which has changed the normal behaviour to the point that the fish will peck at anything when there are people in the water, including the heads of all the baldies present!

The second dive was at the Camia wreck. This dive is based on an old working boat, intentionally sunk for divers entertainment, and to provide an artifical reef. There are numerous swim throughs, some of which were quite challenging as they required a few changes of direction within the ships hold and engine room.
