Hello everyone!
As I mentioned in my previous blog, I was in Moalboal and Oslob last week. We spent 2 days in Moalboal, we arrived on Sunday night and stayed until Tuesday morning, but we were able to freedive only once because the weather was really bad last Monday. Good thing the weather was perfect last Tuesday and the sea was so calm that it was perfect for freediving. After freediving in the morning, we immediately checked out and head to Oslob which is on the other side of south Cebu. We planned to stay there for one day (until Wednesday), but we didn't know the whale shark watching is closed every Wednesday. We had to extend because our goal was to really dive with the whale sharks. We just had a fun dive near Stay N Save B&B.
Since 
is still editing the videos, I will share these photos for now. The reason is simple: I'm loving them! Be warned though, these photos are all about me as the model. Well, this is my blog so I guess I can share photos with me in them. At least I'm not sharing a lot of selfies and post them as a travel blog. 😏

I already shared some of these photos on my Facebook and Instagram and I thought why not share them here when I couldn't get anything from sharing these photos in my other social media accounts.
The following four photos together with the one in the thumbnail are taken in Panagsama, Moalboal. The rest are taken in Tan-awan, Oslob.
The following photos are the result of not seeing the whale sharks. It was a good thing though even if we had to extend for another day just to interact with those gentle giants. We had a lot of fun because the sea was so calm and the weather was almost the same as the day before.
For aesthetics, we have another guide named Ariel who can blow bubble rings, so we decided to have some stunts with those bubble rings. I only tried it once while 
tried it many times so she probably has more photos than me.

The corals in Oslob are not as diverse as in Moalboal, but it was still an awesome place to dive. The terrain is also very different. Moalboal's terrain is usually characterized by a sudden drop which in our dialect we call as kantil or underwater cliff or precipice, while in Oslob it's a slow descent. In Oslob, however, once you're already in a part with a significant depth, there's this vastness of space which is really amazing and scary at the same time.
I'm so excited to share the video about our interaction with the whale sharks, but for now, here's a photo that I'm really proud of. I'm glad I started freediving before interacting with them because it was really a different experience.
I guess that's all for this post. See you at the next one!
