Thanks, thanks and thanks. No Filter or flash. Same camera ive used to take pics of corals in the buy sell but with those i never mess with the colours just white balance with the cam, crop and resize. But with some of these pics i turned up the saturation a bit in photoshop to get rid of some of the haze from sediment and plankton on the windy days. Its an Olympus point and shoot underwater, TG something (can't see the model #), just stock no lense. The cheaper version of the TG3/4

Yes El Nido is not the best for diving in Palawan. There are 2 dive sites that comes to my mind in Palawan, #1. is Tubbataha and #2 Taiei Maru Wreck in Coron. Don't know if you have dove those sites.

Coral reefs in Coron are better than El Nido.

Another Dive site that I would recommend is Apo Reef in Mindoro and Apo Island in Domaguete. There lots of awesome dive sites in the south.

I'm planning to go back home this summer and will stay in Palawan and Mindoro (my home town).
Thanks and no worries.
The 2nd picture from the plane is above Apo reef but unfortunatley forgot our parachutes

Yeah I've been to Coron definitely some amazing corals there, just snorkeled but will for sure go back on the next trip or 2. Tubbataha is somewhere i'd love to go but with the 3-4 weeks vacation per year and in a relationship with a non-diver its a bit of a long journey time wise and for her sake so that may never happen. And wrecks i've done a few and so far not really much of a fan would kinda rather see pristine natural coral reefs.
When you go back bring your cam and share some pics!

And sorry to post these in the dive thread, none of them are actually dive pics this time. The camera is only rated for 10 metres but our first dive was to 18 so didnt wanna risk a leak
