I was in Apo two weeks ago (from Dumaguette) and unimpressed. Vis was pretty bad (less than 10m on two sites) and just full of divers (I live somewhere remote - I'm not used to seeing other divers). They had had bad weather for a week though so I hope to try and get back there in high season to see what it is really like. February should be better. I went there after hearing all my guests rave about it so I'm sure I just had a bad experience.
I'm planning to go to Moalboal asap. I work in Bohol so we get guests through all the time telling us where is best to dive and this is the one place that EVERYONE loves. Expensive but fantastic. Most people say Apo and Malapascua are okay but you only need a few days.
If you have a chance consider Bohol as well. I'm based in Anda (more quiet that the usual tourist destination of Pangloa) and the diving here is beautiful. Great corals, lots of reef life, great for macro/photography. Normally 25m plus for vis and rarely much current.
