This is a collection of my blog entries and experiences with diving.
You can find all the pictures I've taken here, and read below for recountings of my more recent trips:
I selected the special repositioning trip from Tubbataha which only allows divers 3 months out of the year, back to Dumaguete which is better for muck diving, and it's actually excellent muck diving.

The food was pretty good:
In Tubbataha, we had a quick excursion to a bird island:
We also went to see the ranger station on top of a sand bank:
But of course, we were there for diving. Thanks to Arturo for sharing a few shots of me:

We got super lucky with whale sharks. We saw 3 different ones in Tubbataha, including a baby one on our 2nd dive. I was barely ready for it as it literally swam super close to me:
Later, we saw many more at Oslob in Dumaguete, where they get fed (yes, that's cheating, but I didn't mind ;) )
