That is a type of blue dragon nudibranch, Pteraeolidia ianthina.

I spent a few days in the vicinity of Surigao. Did a couple of dives, quite nice around there. I would love to go back and see more, there is some great scenery. Thanks for the pictures.

If I'm not mistaken there should be some pretty healthy currents around the end of that island(north side). Its not far from the resting place of the famous "Yamashiro".

whos the dive operator???

i would love to make a trip report but really, it was just a commando type of a diving trip. brought my own equipment including the weights and tanks and just took a commercial trip (big outrigger) from surigao to tubajon, dinagat is. rented a small outrigger to bring me to where the local fisherfolks fished. i would be posting more photos once im back home since i'm still here in cebu (made 2 dives in mactan yesterday)

yes pretty much but you know there is always a slack time especially during the 1st and last quarter of the moon where there's not much tidal movement. will be going back soon to see the shark action the fisher folks were boasting.
