Yes awesome pics, no doubt life flourishes in cold rich ocean waters.
It is awesome muck diving, and some coral reef in other spots. Lots of shore diving. Great variety of tiny, bizarre, interesting creatures. Mimic, wonderpus, and blue ring ocotos, various squids and cuttlefish, many nudi and plurobrachs, at night dozens of kinds of shrimps and crabs come out. Turtles, eels, barracuda, all the regular reef denizens of the coral triangle. Hairy squat lobsters, slipper lobsters, OGP, rays, razor fish, comet fish, lots of beautiful juviniles like emporer angelfish, seahorses. We see all these pretty regular.
There are twenty other good solid dive spots here too. Tubattaha and Apo reef are generally regarded as the best, but it depends what you like. Generally, the farther you get away from the cities, ppl, and services the better it gets. I have been to 12 of them. Lots of variety and most you can travel between with relative ease. You can research those as well, but you can do a lot worse than Dauin.
