Scuba Diving At Mabini, Batangas

I promise, there will be more pictures. :) My dive master had an underwater camera for the dive so I’m really thrilled to see the shots online. My group of seven braved the trip from Manila to Mabini and thanks to boundless enthusiasm and early bus trips, the gang was able to arrive at the Aquadventure dive resort around 7AM.

We had two dives for the day – a 38-minute excursion to the Cathedral dive site and a 39-minute trip to Twin Rocks. It’s really cool to go back to Cathedral because I graduated there. It’s been almost 9 years since I got my PADI certification – yup that long, no one even knows my dive instructor anymore (he’s Jay Cross by the way, does anyone know him?). Twin Rocks featured a massive school of jacks – that’s talakitok in local parlance. They are amazing creatures that seemed to move in a deliberate and synchronous fashion. It’s  great to be in awe of their grace and precision but it’s also a bit disconcerting that they’re the length of your arm! haha.
