Fishies and phoneography
First off, a big WHOOHOO!!! for being included in The Daily Post’s phoneography favorites for March! The staff chose my “My Neighborhood” post to include in the roundup of their favorite entries. It always feel good to be recognized Second: one good thing about working in an island resort is that the water is only...
Along the wall
I prefer taking landscape photos instead of wall photos but hey, if the view is nice, anything goes Thank you Sir Bobbit for being an excellent model! Lagen Wall, Lagen Island, El Nido, Palawan, Philippines.
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!
Dive El Nido (part 1)

Smile for the camera!
The best thing about diving in El Nido is seeing the amazing?underwater life. The next best thing? Having your picture taken
More explorations of the Miniloc house reef
I got to take the G12 for its second dive yesterday when the Community Ecology (Comeco) Lab crew came over to Miniloc to check the house reef. Yay friends visiting my workplace! Still had difficulty manipulating the camera to get the look I wanted (so many buttons!) but it was a bit easier this time...
Testing out our new toy
Aside from being Aids’ birthday and Valentine’s Day, February 14 also marked the day our department got our brand-spanking-new Ikelite underwater housing for our Canon G12. YAHOOOOO!!! Unfortunately, Kring was too afraid of wrecking it (and the camera) to actually test it out. Fortunately, I have no such fear I tested the camera and housing...
El Nido’s underwater denizens
I returned to full-time work in El Nido, Palawan last September 18. Much thanks to my boss who let me fly out the day after my birthday I’m slowly returning to the swing of things, considering that I’ve been away for three years now. It doesn’t help that I don’t recognize most of the staff,...
