Just got back from 2 days of diving in Anilao, Batangas. Took me 3 weeks, after I got PADI
certified Open water Diver, to do some fun dives. Got too busy with my puppy plus we couldn't find anyone to dive with.
Good thing we were able to take some time off at Balai, Anilao for some R&R, celebration of Iris' bday and diving!
Dive 5: Twin Rocks
Dive 6 - Mainit Bubbles
Dive 7 - Mainit Point
Dive 5 was tiring because of the strong current...we literally have to give up swimming and decided to just walk towards Twin Rocks. I was all cranky because of the heavy tank behind my back!!! Once we got to the water...it was just relaxing. Viz was okay the deeper you go. Diving at Twin rocks never fails to brighten my day!
After almost 2 hours ogf waiting, the boat that was going to pick us up at balai finally arrived! I thought we'll never get to dive. Apparently, Dong, our dive master was waiting for a co-diver to arrive. Jegs, went straight to anilao after a 17 hour trip from the US. hahaha! Instead of getting some shut eye...he insisted to diving. hehehe. Anyway, Dive 6 was at Mainit Bubbles...it was something different...i liked the tiny bubbles coming from the sandy bottom. Plus, the marine life from the slope was just great. I didn't even realize that we were already at 110 feet!
Our Dive Instructor reprimanded us...Opps! I was just following my dive buddy! hehehe!
We dropped by Mainit Springs to rest for awhile. Our dive isntructor knows the locals there. We then proceeded to our last dive at Mainit Point. The current was quite strong but we managed to stay together as a group. I enjoyed the drift very much. We saw some blue and black ribbon eels. Too bad we don't have an underwater camera! I was already tired halfway through the dive...I was breathing really fast and shallow. I just hang on to some rocks to slow down my breathing and rest for a while. Jegs, was the first one to give up and ascend...I was about to give up as well but decided to stay down since we were just about 20 ft from the boat.
It was a great diving day! Had too much fun! hehehe! I'm looking forward to my next dive!
