Dive Anilao, Ako na Feeling Sirena ;)




Friday, searching how to get to El Pueblo Mc Donalds located in Ortigas. Thanks to Google ;)

4:00am is too early for me and I'm not sure if I can get to the place without getting lost so instead of waking up early I decided to call a friend.... ^_______^

I send text message to my Kuya +Jowel Abadecio and told him I needed his help.

He is a great big brother (Hehehe!) he told me I could stay on his place so that we could chat and for us to exchange updates on our lives.

After watching my favorite gag show, Bubble Gang, I push my self going to Ortigas. I really feel sleepy at that time, but for the sake of adventure and fun I decided to go.

When we reach Ayala, soft rain fall. Geez! I didn't bring umbrella and I know what lies ahead.

And then, heavy rain pours. My poor kuya run from EDSA Central to Mega Mall just to fetch me regardless of the heavy pour of rain. And it was so touching...

When we reach EDSA Central after waiting 'til the rain stop, he treat me for an early morning snack and chat 'til 3:30am. He still have to go to work that day, isn't my kuya sweet? (Bear hugs kuya jowel).

We waited there for a couple of minutes then we met Sanndra. The coordinator of Travel Factor for the Dive Anilao for that day. She's nice and easy to be with.

Then one by one, the other participants came.

We have to wait for someone but unfortunately he cannot go with us.

I decided to sleep and didn't have the interest on taking picture of the sunrise.
( Walang kiber-kiber kahit matagtag ^_^)

After the dizzying zig zag road, we finally reach Balai Resort.



We are one hour ahead of the schedule. So, we decided to chill and enjoy our welcome drinks:

You know what this is? This is Sampaloc or Tamarind juice. This is my first time to taste it as juice. You could really taste the Tamarind but it's fine.

And what I like about this trip, is that we have the priviledge to enjoy the bottomless coffee and tea.
I am really a coffee lover that's why I really love it......

I like the place,

This is their restroom. I'm sorry I'm not really on the mood for taking pictures, so sorry...
I think everything here is vintage. And I find it cool than thinking it's creepy. They have handwoven mat and pillows ^_^

And here's the morning view of the sea:

Because of my sleepy head, I didn't feel the excitement that I always have whenever I'm on the beach.

Wanted to dive in already? No, we can't do that. This is introduction to scuba diving and not swimming.

We have to wait for our Masters ^_^
At 9:00am, as scheduled, the intro began:

That's Sir Kim

The mask, not googles since it almost cover the whole face
The scuba diving tank compressor with the regulator

I don't know why, but as he explained things and give us some scenarios, I felt nervous. But it's too late to turn my back and go home. And luckily, my partner for the two-by-two diving, Sir Roy said we'll be the last to try.

The students:


They let us do snorkeling while the two is diving. I practice the breathing and enjoyed seeing different fishes. I really enjoyed it and the rats inside my chest gone.

During the free time while waiting for our turn:
Can you see the fish? 

You don't have to worry if you don't know how to swim, why? Because the masters will drive you (is this the right term? Well, whatever).
He'll be the one who will adjust the bouyancy control device so that you could float or it let you walk on the sand. He'll remind you from time to time to pinch your nose and blow the pressure out of your ears.
And good thing about these masters...they'll be one who will take photos of you (photogragher ang peg ^_^)

Wanted to see the different world? Wanted to find Nemo?
Let's begin...

Meet the feeling mermaid and Majin Buu:
The OK sign that I always forget. I always do the thumbs up when Sir Noriel asked me if I'm OK. Tsk tsk!

All me, I'm a sel-FISH
I really do have a good time down there. Superb!

I've seen a dark colored sea horse and Sir Noriel said she's pregnant. I even saw an orange leech-like sea creature. Sir Noriel said these are all special in Anilao and I should feel lucky that I saw these and hold it on my bare hands. I felt unlucky at the same time because I don't have the underwater camera so that I could have photos of them.

We are over time under the water and I've felt I've cheated them. Sorry guys, maybe that's the advantage of being the last in the row.

That's super cool. Super awesome experience....

After the dive, we have a buffet lunch.

It's tiring and sleepy at the same time after the lunch break.



After taking a bath I decided to drink my energy booster, coffee:

My 2013 Adventure as of now: Baguio City, Conquering Mt. Talamitam and Dive Anilao.

Thank you Travel Factor....
 Thank you for all the participants of Dive Anilao for their company.

Thank you for Ms. Vick's camera.

I would like to say thank you also to Mac and our Instructors for the photos under water

 I will definitely do this again....
