Question Whale shark diving near Cebu or Manila?

[bmag78]

From Feb to April there's a bunch of whale sharks in Donsol in the province of Sorsogon in the Bicol region. Pretty cool experience.
The Bicol is a great place to cruise around, underappreciated which means not crowded
Fly 45 minutes to legaspi from Manila then an hour in a taxi.
Very beautiful , uncrowded . Neighboring province Catanduanes is stunning also.

Southern Leyte offers another good chance to snorkel with the gentle giant without any drama. The place, Sogod Bay, is slightly off the beaten track so getting there is time consuming and accommodation in the area is very limited.
The season is from Nov to May. However, the sighting is NOT guaranteed. When I was there in Feb 24, I was informed the success rate was about 94% (Nov - FEB). But it was 100%(4 trips) during the six days that I stayed at the resort. Supply and demand and booking is highly recommended.
