thirtytwo

i went diving again last Oct 29, and this time we visited 3 dive sites that starts with the letter B.

we started out with "bahura" - this is one of the nicest dive site in anilao. one thing i noticed about the sea scape is the color....everything is either violet, lavander or purple...the corals, the plants, the sea floor... i dont know if its just the lights playing with the sea effect, but every single thing out there is violet inspired.

our maximum depth is 106ft, the water is very cold, and there's mild to moderate current everywhere...we have to crawl near the flr most of the time...our exit and safety stop was quite exciting...we were holding on to each other's bc, twirling round and round in "blue water"..it was quite scary.

our next dive is at "batok" all the way to "beatrize" - our max depth is 80ft, the water is cold as usual. one thing i remember clearly about this dive are the fishes. i saw a school of small identical fishes swimming around me in an identical motion...every 15 seconds they would do a sudden turn and they do it all at the exact same time...it was adorable.

and now for the pictures:

we passed a cute island along the way ..and when i asked what its called ..they said "sombrero island" ..hmm.. how appropriate

..and this is my official photographer, CJ (boyet's kid)...in one of his inquisitive moments he asked me if i have children. i said "no, im not even married yet", he said, i should get married and have children...imagine that! a 6 year old giving me advice...on my love life...:)
