And any DM worthy of that name will know the tide tables and when to dive AND NOT DIVE certain sites! I found the diving excellent (best I've had personally). i don,t think you,ll be disapointed in PG...
I'd go with the same general opinion as most people here I guess PG is better for non-diving related activities (i.e. night life, dining out etc.) but the diving in Anilao is much better for me.
Anilao scores much higher for Macro, although PG would be better for bigger stuff, although there isn't much genuine big stuff there either! PG would win on variety, although Anilao also has a good range of diving if you can handle some current.
I'd say any dive in PG would be okay if you go on the right tide, the moon is one factor but by far the biggest factor to consider is the tide table times. Try to dive the current sites, like the Canyons or Shark Cave, on a slack tide or a weak flood, it's not a difficult dive if the current isn't flowing, just make sure you avoid the Ebb tides as that's when the current picks up! You can get tide tables at most decent resorts or online at EasyTide - on-line tidal predictions from the UKHO
