Let's dive in! #Romblon

in #travel7 years ago

70 percent of the world, is ocean. Just 30 percent is land. If you want to explore the world, you have to dive in!

Since my friend here in Romblon has dive gear, we decided to scuba dive. She is a divemaster and we also had a dive instructor in our group. My level is advances and I am not such an experienced diver yet, but of course I wanted to join them! We made our equipment ready and left by boat!

In the boat, on our way to the divesite! Finally!

Under the water, we saw lots of fish and corals. One of the fishes we saw was Nemo! Nemo is quite common here. He lives in the anemone, and shares it a lot of the time with this blue shrimp (underwater pictures are made by Cedric)

Me during the dive :)

This dives are a beautiful experience to me, it made me only sad to see all the plastic. Here on the divesite is a turtle living, nylon around his leg. The turtle is scared so they can not catch it to remove the nylon. Hopefully it will not be his dead.. It might get infected.. People, please take care of your garbage, dont trow it in the nature because it will end up in the ocean!
I am already glad to see Romblon tries to lessen the plastic, they give only paper backs in the market.. But that's not enough! People should get educated about what they do with the nature... We removed quite a lot of plastic from the ocean, plastic that normally got eaten by fish.. And the people will eat the fish, either the plastic.. God gave us this paradise, so we should all together take care for it :)

In the break, we visited our neighbour, Toffy. He made us this picture on his balcony, look at that view! Isn't it gorgeous? 🌴

After the break, I went snorkeling with toffy but there was lots of jelly fish in the water. We decided soon to go back to the boat.

Of course we stayed on the spot for the sunset, and as you can see, it was worth waiting for!

Just like the day ends with a sunset, my post ends with a sunset! ☀
