Dive Ticao – The Bowl Where the Manta Is

We took the land trip from Manila to Legazpi. Until now, I’m still wondering why we took the land trip instead of flying to Legazpi. Surprisingly, a few minutes after I adjusted my lazy boy seat, the next thing I knew, we were in Legazpi.

The van which we commissioned to bring us to Donsol was waiting for us in the Legazpi Bus Terminal. We had a quick stop at Bigg’s Diner for breakfast.

We were in a hurry to go to Donsol so we can still catch the last trip going to Ticao. We opted to skip San Miguel dive site since the only mission we have is to ride the current of Ticao Strait and of course glide with the mantas!

Dive Malapascua – The Treasure the Thresher Brings

Thresher Shark – that puppy-eyed , long-tailed underwater creature. That’s what we wanna see. Reason why we found ourselves in Malapascua – the northern most part of the province of Cebu.

We took the last flight from Manila to Cebu. We arrived in Cebu around 10pm. We took a cab to the North Bus Terminal and checked for trips going to Maya. The first trip was around 1am. We waited for around 3 hours. It’s not a lounge, not your usual Manila coffee shop. It’s a provincial bus terminal. Get the picture of the place being described?
