Were you diving off Mabul?
I loved my time there more than 10 years ago, there is awesome macro off Mabul and Kapali, I also made 3 trips to Sipidan during that trip so that was awesome.
I made a trip to Romblon for Melibe Colmani and Engeli, they have other great macro there too. That was some great macro diving. There is also a site off Banka thats loaded with Colmani.
They are really hard to get good shots of, they always seem to be shallow so black background is hard, if I ever go for them again I will have a stage, all you really need is 2 pieces of black matte plastic that hinge.
