How to Apply Argentinian Visa in the Philippines As a Philippine Passport holder, we can enter 6 countries in South America visa free: Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia. Brazil, and Suriname. But with a dream to be in Patagonia – the end of the world, Philippine...
Guam probably doesn't immediately comes to mind as a scuba diving destination, but when you think of its geographical location; it being an island in the Pacific, you can guess there's probably some really good reefs for diving. And because of its position during WWI...
Earlier this month I was invited by Guam Visitors Bureau Philippines (@visitguamph) to join their "Dive and Run Guam" – an activity filled weekend in Guam celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the SMS Cormoran sinking. Our itinerary includes diving the SMS Cormoran and...
Strong Current? No Problem! I've been scuba diving with long fins for one year now and I super love it. I totally recommend it to anyone who wants to breeze through diving strong current. I finally bought my long fins early last year (2016) for my Komodo dive trip...
They say Raja Ampat casts a spell on all those who visit and we couldn't agree more All things considered, Raja Ampat is easily one of the best dive destination, if not the best, in the world. I know you'll ask me, is it better than your favorite, the Galapagos? Well,...
10 years seems like a long time, but it oddly didn't feel like I've been blogging for that long. Perhaps the time just went by so fast, or perhaps it's because I don't post that often. Haha. My blog began 10 years ago with the first published post entitled Europe Trip...
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and New Year's Holiday like I did. My family and I spent it aboard the luxury cruise ship, Mariner of the Sea. Pincky, my sister in Japan, met us in Singapore and we got to spent 10 days together with her and...
When I was in Bali for the first time 7 years ago, I remember saying that it's nothing special and one's better off going to Boracay instead. I was obviously on some kind of meds for thinking that. I have taken back that statement since. I think Bali is amazing and is...
So I was saying that we survived diving South Maldives, but that we had a messy first day. To be up to speed, read here Diving South Maldives (Part 1). As expected, there were a lot of emotions flying around after that dive. There were traumatized divers, angry...
I survived diving South Maldives! This would be a good way to sum up my one week diving South Maldives on Live Aboard. I bet this is the common feeling, not only of my 21 boat mates, but also the divers of the 2 trips before ours. I know because I have friends on both...
In the beginning of my trip, a friend gave me a backpack flag of Israel. Since it was the first country, it seemed like a cool idea to fill my bag with flags as I go along. But it turned out backpack flags isn’t as popular as fridge magnets, postcards or mugs as travel souvenirs. In fact, I forgot all about this plan of collecting flags. I don’t think I encountered them at all in Europe.
co-written by dive buddy banggigay The Galapagos Dives with Aggressor II The dream dive trip is live aboard diving Galapagos for 8 days, though we only have 5 days of 3 dives per day. It’s rather few considering the price tag of the trip. We were told that it was...
There are 3 destinations for SNUPS, right? Batangas, Cebu, and Dumaguete. My travel schedule only permits me to join the Batangas leg, which is absolutely fine because diving Anilao is at least top 3 destination for diving in the Philippines. My point being, because...
If it's not evident in this blog, I'm a bit of a diveaholic. As I take off for my BIG trip, I'm going to miss diving tremendously and my gears. This post is a tribute to it and also for the purpose of record, lest someone borrowed something and didn't return it. :)...
The Peacock Garden Luxury Resort One of the unexpected highlight of the Dive Seafari trip is being housed at The Peacock Garden Luxury Resort. This secret hideaway is tucked in the middle of Baclayon about 15 minutes from Baclayon church and Tagbilaran airport. The...
