Philippines Scuba Diving

Philippines Scuba Diving Moal Boal


Cheap Scuba Diving




One of the things that I have always wanted to see is a whale shark here in Moal Boal which is on the island of Cebu in Southern Philippines Divers  have sighting twice in the last two weeks. This is a pretty good thing that they have that many sightings making it a good place for scuba diving if one of your trip goals is too see a Whale shark.



I have over 1000 dives and I have not the best of luck with these magnificent gentle plankton eating creatures. I have been close a couple of times once in Hawaii Diving Hounanua which is called by some locals 2 step as the entrance is two natural steps formed by the reef. A great dive site for training where I did parts of my training for open water diver PADI Card, advanced open water, PADI rescue diver and even some of my dive master course. One time after I had all ready been a PADI Divemaster I was diving with my PADI instructor and we had done two tanks and had run them out of air and we were putting the dive gear away and a group of student divers from the University of Hawaii Hilo came out of the water and were asking us if we saw the Whale Shark? No and abject dismal feeling that student divers would see and we did not.



The second time was when I was on my EcoSea 1 boat and I was on the roof and I am fairly certain that I saw one from the surface but we were going in the wrong direction so I was not sure. now that I am writing this there was a third time I was in 40 meters of water being circled by what we thought were grey sharks only to be told later that they were actually bull sharks still don't believe that but all fo the other divers that were in the water at shallower depths off Koh Toa in Thailand A major scuba diving teaching island.



So I am going to end this blog and go jump in the water and see if I can spot me a whale shark. Of course if I do it will make perfect sense as my underwater camera is broke!
