The dynamite fishing there is so extreme it looks like an A-bomb went off underwater and the coral is piled so high on the beach on the west end of town it looks like a snow plow put it there. HIGHLY over rated. Sipidan is definitely off the charts beautiful and is my number one pick. Book ahead!

If you stayed near the water (which is everywhere) you can literally walk from into the ocean from the boardwalk and you'll be at the wall in 20ft. Our boat was anchored there for several weeks and you'll see the guys diving right under you, the water was so pristine. Also alot of turtles makes it fun just to free dive as well!

I'm from the area and don't get me wrong, Catalina is great, but I can't see how it can compare to most of those places. Maybe I need some tips on where to go! Catalina?!?!
