  • Summer Cruise & Diving in Batangas: A New Chill Hub for Ocean Enthusiasts (Guide, Review, Rates 2022)

    February 20, 2021 / 0 Comments

    “The water takes up a larger portion of the earth than the land. Thus, if you won’t go on an ocean adventure, you would definitely be missing out a lot of the amazing wonders that the world underwater has to offer.” [non-verbatim] I have heard this quite a lot from people who are enthusiasts of the vast and deep ocean. My eyes were opened to this fact the moment that I started diving. Indeed, it holds creatures of various species that live in tranquility underneath the sea.

These very rays are hypnotic as it dance and shine though the surface to what seemed like a bottomless chasm. These were more than enough for me to keep me coming back to the ocean, enough to keep me diving into it.

  • The Differences between SCUBA Diving, Freediving and Skin Diving

    December 5, 2019 / 1 Comment

    The largest portion of this planet is covered with water bestowed with millions of creatures of different colors and species underneath. This also gives you millions of reasons to start diving now. Apparently, there are also lots of ways to explore it and among those are SCUBA diving, Freediving and Skin Diving. I was introduced to diving in the last quarter of 2017. I was extremely captivated by the life underwater that I craved for more. The desire to explore and enjoy  the ocean has lead me into trying SCUBA, skin diving and freediving. As I get frequently engaged into these, I have seen how each is different from the other.…
