The Resort
This is where I stayed. It was a fan room and shared bathroom for a Php 400.00/day. March 12 ~ March 15, 2007
Diving in bohol was an awesome experience. I get to enjoy a different kind of blissfulness in another dimension of space. Being down under has given me the opportunity to see an untouched paradise that i will always want to go back, time after time.
Memorable also was that I met fellow divers and on that trip i was the only pinoy on board. It was pretty good being around them and not that intimidating because they were very supportive, helpful and friendly who shares the same passion with me. My diving buddies are Lur (german guy) and Dave (american guy) whose infectious passion has caught up with me. Dave was also responsible for taking pictures of me while I was diving.
Diving has given me the opportunity to really appreciate the nature in all its glory.

Accommodation:
I stayed in Peter’s House (Fax# 502-9056 / 0918-770-8434). It is a diving lodge that offers a discounted room rates for divers. I was able to get a room for only Php 400.00. I had seven dives with Genesis Divers, an affiliate of Peter’s House. The house has a shared but well-kept cold water bathroom. It is really for budget conscious travelers/divers who are not into amenities like air-con and cable tv. I don’t need one because most of the time I was out there in the sea!
