mainit (again), cathedral march 18, 2006
after 3 months and 5 days...i was able to dive again. i was a bit nervous to jump into the water because its been awhile, but except for the usual me having a hard time sinking...there was no major problem, i adapted to the water effortlessly...
i do miss diving a lot...and ive realized that, the moment i touched the water.
dive 1 : mainit
in this dive i saw another shark...and my divemates were teasing me endlessly because only me and the dm saw the shark. they were puzzled because the person who least wanted to see a shark which happens to be me, always ends up seing one. i told them that the bkm (best known method) is to always stay close to your dm...so you wont miss any of the action.
dive 2 : cathedral to eagle point
i had minor problems with my mask on the second dive..no matter how hard i clear..the water keeps comming in...i was a bit annoyed...because of all the skills during training, the mask clearing is the one i hated the most, so if i can avoid it...i will...teacher if youre reading this...dont spank me..
anyway i saw the cross which was blessed by pope john paul and was placed there by ex-president ramos. its a concrete cross in between two huge rocks...maybe that's why the place is called cathedral. when we reached the cross...there were many divers there, so its a bit crowded...just like going to church on a sunday.
we also did some fish feeding...so many hungry fishes..i think they can smell food a mile away...
we have 3 underwater cameras but unfortunately im not one of those who have them...so ill just post first our land pictures then later on ill do the underwater ones.
before we leave for the dive site...fist thing first...picture..picture...:)

during our safety interval..in one of the islan of anilao...sorry i dont know where exactly...in fact if they left me on that island..i wont be able to find my way home.
right after lunch...at the outrigger resort dinning area...i think this is around 3pm already.
we left the resort at around 6 and had to stop by boyet's brod's place nearby.
i reached the house around 11 pm....headed straight to bed...dreaming of our next dive.
