Our little adventure; Helmet Diving

It was a rainy afternoon at a place located somewhere in the middle of the Philippines' geography when my siblings and I decided to do something "Fun" to enjoy our vacation.We went to the beach and enjoyed the clean sea water, white sand and the sight of "eye candies" everywhere.

    We dived, swam and played-around in the water for a period of time but still couldn't get enough. We wanted to do something memorable since it was our last day on that island.


We jumped off the water and headed towards the array of restaurants to buy ourselves something to fill our empty stomach (Physical activity gets me hungry-quick!). While walking, a man approached us and showed us packages of fun activities(Perfect!). 


He offered us the Banana boat ride, Buggy car adventure, Island hopping etc. and one of it was the Underwater Helmet diving. We opted for the latter because, its sounded hassle-free and exciting!


       The thought of feeding colorful fishes under the water, and being able to breathe normally with the help of a helmet is what convinced us to try it over the other packages presented. For the four of us, He offered the 10 minute dive with 40 pieces of pictures, and a 5 min. video for only P1,800. Great deal eh?!.yes! -we closed the deal with a 50% down-payment, and agreed to do the activity after lunch.


         So we proceeded to the restaurant and bought us pizza for lunch!(yum!) After having our tummies filled, we wasted no time and hastily went to our rendezvous. There, we waited for the pump boat that would send us to that floating little bamboo shade in the middle of the water where we will do the "dive".

Signing of waiver and orientation before the dive
Upon getting there, we were asked to sign the waiver and was given instructions about what to do underwater. We sat and waited for our turn for about around 15mins.
