DIVING

last september was a month of diving for me. aside from the deep dive i was able to do 2 more dives towards my advance open water certification...

Clean up dive
we went to the house reef of shangri-la and spread out to cover as much ground as possible. Ana and i got a san miguel beer bottle, a sack, juice packs, and bits of foil. by the end of it i was kind of bored already! but just as tony was banging on his oxygen tank we saw a neon blue nudibranch. and we couldn't stop looking at it! since there was the signal to ascend, we had to stop our staring and start heading towards the surface.

Night dive
ooh was i scared during orientation...i tried to remember the flashlight signals. of course i couldn't! my thoughts were running wild! luckily the entry was my favorite. just had to roll into the water - it just doesn't seem as scary for me! saw a big flute fish, a burgundy nudibranch and a whole lot of other creatures i don't know the names of.


got the chance to visit Moal Boal with some of the people from Bigfoot. the dives at Moal Boal were with Tamara and Leica, two of my officemates from the Production Department. first with Tamara then with Leica...

when i first learned how to dive in Anilao, i thought that what i saw was really beautiful. then here in mactan even more beautiful. but so sorry, Moal Boal has been the best. the coral, the different kinds of school of fish, the amount of fish, the coral, a shark (far away) and a TURTLE! it was the second dive and right when we entered the water there was the turtle. it allowed us to take a good look at it before gracefully swimming away. when i saw it a let out a shriek! it was so beautiful! Pescador Island off the coast of Moal Boal is really breathtaking!

next up? planning on finishing my advance open water course and heading to Malapascua in time for manta ray and thresher shark season...i'm lovin cebu :-)
