For the love of diving...
So it was a long weekend. What most people I know would do on a long weekend is rather stay home and rest or go out of town with their family. As for me, I went diving with old friends and strangers who now I consider new friends (diving is the best sport I know where you'll meet different people). It was also my first time to dive with my good friend, Anskoy.
We left Manila early Sunday. Got to Maricaban Island by 10ish.
The group was busy gearing up, while Vlad's busy getting high... hehe
Briefing session...
We had 2 dives on our first day. First dive was... uhmm.. challenging, right An? :) We were pretty disappointed with the current, we weren't expecting any, because the last time we dove at Maricaban, it was at peace and it was beautiful. Second dive was worse. The current was wild and it has no definite direction. Most of us got bruises from the rocks and corals we were holding on to. I got these:
The next day, we expected better dives... and this time we weren't disappointed. Nonie's Point and Emperor's Reef was a beauty. Some were able to see stingrays, some were able to spot a hawksbill. I wasn't able to see what they saw (did I mention that I'm near sighted?) but I was plain happy that I'm breathing underwater. Am I an addict to diving? You don't say...
