Waiting outside
When the water level gets too low, large boats can’t get into the Big Lagoon anymore. The boats end up outside the Lagoon and tied to a mooring buoy while their guests either kayak or snorkel + walk in.
Going into the blue
You have steps, then waves, then light blue water, then the dark blue of the deep ocean.
PHOTOS: Fire on the beach
After welcoming the new year with fireworks, our guides and their supervisor decided to pull out all the stops and do a firedancing routine on the boardwalk. They were originally supposed to do in on platforms in the water but the Engineering guys decided to ignore their advice and installed the platforms too far away...
Exploring Fuerza de Santa Isabel
After the 12 days straight of nature interpretation training in Miniloc and Lagen, we moved to Apulit in Taytay for Batch 4 of the training. It wasn’t included in our original schedule but we reconfigured it once we found out that the Pangulasian “Shark Squad” would be in Apulit and available to take over for...
Travel theme: Sunset
I’d like to thank Ailsa for giving me an excuse to post sunset photos I didn’t want to torture myself trying to decide which of the numerous (and equally memorable) sunset photos I’ve taken over the years to post, so I went with just the newest ones instead. I took these last August 17, 2012...
Soft corals on the wall
I willingly admit that wall dives aren’t my favorite kind of dive. I prefer wide open reef flats to hugging a wall and seeing nothing on the other side. Maybe it’s my claustrophobia kicking in: I’m also not fond of night dives, despite the amazing critters that come out once the sun sets. Despite the...
Dive El Nido (part 2)
Also known as Entry to Ailsa’s “Oceans” Challenge Part 2. Here are three more photos from the past week of diving we did. I can finally sleep now!
Hawksbill sea turtle in El Nido!
Today’s post was going to be one long entry for Ailsa’s “Oceans” photo challenge in honor of World Oceans Day. However, it’s going to take me some time to sort through my favorite photos taken during the past week so I figured I’d be better off making it a series of posts instead Presenting the...
Dive El Nido (part 1)
So. The reason behind the lack of decent posts for the past week is because I’ve been accompanying an underwater videographer during his dives here in El Nido. It may not look it but diving three times a day is exhausting, made especially so by strong currents in the dive sites. The upside? I took...
Travel Challenge: Manila’s music
Here we go again with another photo challenge from Ailsa, this time for the rhythm of travel. (Dear Ailsa, keep giving out these challenges. They’re fun ) I’m going to cheat a bit here and keep my “travels” close to home because frankly, I don’t need to go far to experience great music. Filipinos are...
Flying high
The view from the window of a 19-seater Dornier 228-212 aircraft as it makes its way to El Nido, Palawan, Philippines. Even though I fly in and out of El Nido once a month, I rarely get to take photos from the aircraft window because I almost always fall asleep after takeoff and wake up...
