Freedive Malapascua | Valley of Corals in Lapus Lapus Island

To all you mermaids out there, Yes! I'm missing the beach too! 😂 It's been constantly raining here in the city and somehow my mood is aligning with this rainy season. To be honest, I'm not mentally and emotionally ok for the past few days, just trying to survive one day at a time. Finding the courage to do my curation work for Lovesniper or even keep tabs with some of you here. But alas, I just told myself "It's ok to be feeling shit sometimes."

What makes me continue further on for the moment is sharing these underwater videos we had last 2 months ago. Makes me smile and happy reminiscing our Malapascua escapade.

Malapascua Island is situated at the northern tip of Cebu. You got to travel by boat to get there. And previously, I took you to the Japanese Shipwreck which was cool right?! I think that was one of the major highlights of this trip. After our sweet adventure at the sunken ship, our boatman took us to Lapus Lapus Island.

When we got here, the water was no longer calm. Bigger waves were starting to appear so we immediately went for it. The corals down under were vibrant and healthy. Not that plenty but still is a feast to the eyes. What I like here was the valley of corals we found. Another part was just filled with fishes that seemed not to mind us at all. The "boulders" underwater were also unique. I also found a crown of thorns. Yikes! We pushed forward to the other side of the island but the abundance of corals was becoming less and less. The waves were also stronger because of the direction of the wind. We headed back as we got tired from fighting the current.

Overall, Lapus Lapus Island was fun and worth checking out underwater! Anyways, please enjoy the video. Added an upbeat song to match my mood during this time.
