moalbal is ok but compared to the other dive sites its nothing great.
Just do a dive safari. That way, you hit both places in 4 days. The only thing that attracts me to Moalboal is their unlimited day dive for $50 (2 boat and 2 shore diving).bvanstek:
Bohol is my choice. Much nicer beach and more dive sites to chose from as well as better size and variety of marine life. A day trip to Cabilao Island is worthwhile of you can arrange it and plenty of good sites around Panglao and Balicasag. My overall rating of Panglao area diving is 3 of 5 stars. I also enjoyed renting a motorbike for the day to check out the Chocolate Hills, some nice scenery along the way.
As said before, Moalboal is ok and also quite easy to get to from Cebu. I enjoyed diving Pescador Island a few times and heard the sunken island site is nice so if you have time for both it might be worth checking out for a day or two. I give it 2 of 5 stars. But if you are limited on time Bohol is the better option.
I agree a dive safari might be a good option to consider, especially if it includes Apo Island.

FYI go to this thread

Panglao Island, Hammerhead sharks are also seen between February and March.
Night dives are worth a shot as many crabs, octopuses and other night creatures live around the island.

If you only have time for one spot, I would pick Panglao Island (just south of Bohol). However, you can jump around the area fairly easily. Two days in Moalboal, three on Panglao and two on Cabilao makes for a nice one week trip. The shops you dive with should be able to arrange private transport, which makes the logistics much easier. As a general matter, the diving is better from Panglao (esp. on nearby Balicasag Island) and Cabilao than it is on Moalboal, but Pescador Island (off of Moalboal) is one of the nicest dive sites I've seen. Well worth checking out.
