This takes skills so you won't step on any coral. Echos lang!

of course , it was nearing low tide so we had better chances of enjoy the sight-seeing down under.

selfie din even if you are hardly recognizable. If you have the skills, try it without the gear.

a clamingo according to my cousin who is like Adriana Lima

They were really pretty and huge.

....and with intricate details and a mouth-like structure

If this is not a school of fish, then maybe this is a university of swimming creatures.

After seeing this, I had this realization that Nemo may have gotten his name from his home - the sea anemone.. ahahahhha. Pagka-ahon ko from the dagat.

Remember to have a photo taken near the lone mangrove tree

🌳at sunset.

Candace and her first baby... Behati's photo will follow soon. hahahhaha

Young , wild and free

The Kamehameha Wave

Of course, Mwe had to do Wonder Woman and Superwoman here!gal gadot, baby!

You will be treated to the white powdery sand 5 meters from the shoreline.

and the fallen tree

🌲 lying near the wrecked guest house by the cliffs.

I know this is kaartehan but who cares. this is my blog. bleeeh. ahahhahahaha

I know..... taking good photos are all about timing and angle.

Yes, i dried them on a driftwood by the beach...

This is a spot during hot beach days but I like the part near the mangroves where you can jump from a limb/branch directly to the water.

lovely at sunset... See that Mangrove area, go past that and you will see the spot for diving. it is not so high but it is nice enough.

yeah, i do this here sometimes.

i know. there are people who look for beautiful things but others make things and places beautiful. watchathink?

back to the travel tips:
REMEMBER THAT IT TAKES A YEAR TO GROW 0.2-1 inch OF A CORAL so please remember to listen to the boatmen/ Bantay Dagat/ Guide on the areas that are not to be stepped on...

One of our swimming guide is Sul Adrian Quilo and he gladly helped us during our trip.

Swim with nemos and Dorys there! Enjoy your dive and just keep swimming!
