Volcanic - not the particular area.
Philippines - No
Philippines - No
The problem is that the macaw in the photo isn't native to Asia (it's a Ara ararauna if I'm not mistaken) but rather to South America, therefore it must be a pet macaw, which means its presence in the photo is a sort of 'red herring' since you've told us that the beach is in the South China Sea. So the only real clue is the rock formation.
Is it Taiwan? Kenting National Park?

Quero,
Once again you are right, Kenting National Park, Taiwan, and that's the main beach, viewed from the beach bar. Nice little town for a weekend, and easy access to some good diving both off boats and off shore
The parrot, a slight red herring, but seemed fitting after Augk's pelican -- never quiet sure who owned the parrot as it would fly around the bay, and on a couple of occasions saw it at the beach bar - the owners of which were also oblivious who owned it, though someone obviously did as it was as healthy as can be. The rock formation - maybe a hint at volcanic history i that area, as Taiwan does have a lot of seismic activity, daily earthquakes, plenty of hot springs, sulphur flumes etc. Earlier this year I dived at 'Turtle Island' (up the N/E coast) - into an area where on sea bed there are numerous active sulphur vents/hot springs, and surprisingly quiet a lot of life there. Quite a weird dive with some areas of the water boling - literally.
Over to you.

But I'm on my way to a boat now where I'll be for the next three days. I'll have to pass to whomever else wants to post a photo, and I'll try to put one aside for the next time. Sorry for wimping out, and thanks to whomever can step in for me.

Quero - enjoy the dives. I'm also travelling today, back to the cold UK for Christmas - and wishing you all the best of the season.
Augk -- got a photo then ?

Thanks, and Happy Holidays to all of you as well. This is peak high season for me, so I'm busy, busy, busy. I've got this student until the 23rd, and another student arriving the 24th.... maybe I'll get to take New Year's Day off???
