Dive Tubbataha / Palawan Adventure 2


I'm back in Cebu again after a week-long Palawan escapade. Even with the persistent headache caused by a wisdom tooth problem... i really enjoyed the trip.
Maybe because of the great company of friends (John, Amanda, Paulo, Tim, Michael, Kakoy, Dindo and new found friends Mike, Jiny and the GenSan group)
Maybe because of the sumptuous food onboard the Oceanic Explorer.
Maybe because of the perfect weather and sea condition where the water is glassy.
Or maybe because of the amazing underwater treasures of Tubbataha Reefs!
Our group saw a lot of dolphins, mantas, reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse and some from our group saw a Hammerhead shark and a Thresher shark.
I like the Delsan Wreck, Malayan Wreck, Black Rock and Amos Rock dive sites... but doing a long night dive at Ranger Station channel where they saw and photographed a huge Tiger shark just a week before our trip made me shiver!
We were joined by the other Expedition Fleet Liveaboards - Stella Maris Explorer and Eco Explorer where i saw Yvette Lee.
After making 19 dives in this World Heritage Site National Marine Park... we visited another World Heritage Site - the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. This cave is unbelievable to be real!
In Puerto Princesa City, we had dinner at Ka Lui, visited Kamarikutan Cafe and had a little drink at Kinabuchs Bar... too bad that the tamilok worm is out of stock.
We stayed overnight at The Legend Hotel after the X-Men paid a visit to Phoenix!
Please visit my buddies (Tim and Paulo) Multiply sites to check how fun it is in Palawan.
