Manila, Philippines – ONCE again, the Philippines affirmed its status as a dive destination in the recent Marine Diving Fir 2012 in Tokyo, Japan. It was ranked among the top three destinations together with Maldives and Palau.

Since 2006, the country has been included among the top five “Best Overseas Destinations“ and the top 10 “Dream Destinations.“ Selection for these awards is done through voting by subscribers of Japan’s Marine Diving Magazine. The Philippine booth in the fair was inspired by the DOT’s “It’s More Fun in the Philippines“ campaign logo ­ five aquariums and marine life paintings on the wall that drew crowds to discover what makes diving more fun in the Philippines.

The Philippines’ Blur Coral was named the top favorite dive operator for 2012, and Good Dive Shop among the top 10 in this category.
