My First Time in Snorkeling @ Panagsama, Moalboal Cebu

Mabuhay! Greetings from the Philippines! I am so delighted to see all of you guys. I think it's been a week since I posted. So this episode I want to share excited me hugely.

Every time I do a thing for the first time I'm always bouncing off the wall. And somehow, from the beginning until the end of the scene the intense feelings I felt don't want to dial back. That makes the experience inexplicably wonderful.

Last weekend, I and my colleagues were raring to start the day. Everyone was licking their lips showing how eager they are. On my side, I'm excited but a little bit nervous.
We were in Panagsama, Moalboal in south-western side in province of Cebu. Since the place main tourist activity is the recreational diving and not to mention it's great variety of marine life so LET’S GO FOR SNORKELING.

When we were in the water and the guide start to orient, everyone creates great interest and so do I.
Afterwards, seems there's an ants in our pockets. We can't hide our excitement. And a minute of it the magic starts.

Our first destination, the Sardines. When I'm looking it back I can't help myself to laugh. For the reason, I’m a kind of idiot hahaha. I really loved and enjoyed the presence of the ocean, on the other hand, I'm afraid of it. For god sake, I'm turning 27 and can't swim.
At that moment I was holding the inflatable while the Guide pulling it and I knew I was wearing a life jacket. While enjoying the view underwater, just a pluck of fingers, we were above in a deep, deep, deep, deep. .... . it so deep that you can't exactly see what’s below in it. We were in Kantil, it is a cliff in the ocean. Out of a sudden, I shout out loud, everyone was looking at me. I can saw in their eyes that they were confused . .... Oh, why are you shouting? I'm just so afraid of how deep it was. I felt I'm going to be drown. Actually it took me a minute to brace myself, thanks to Maica and to the Guide who encourage me and when I look down again, I don't know how exactly the deep we were but all I saw thousands of sardines below us, below in a deep ocean, they looked so incredibly beautiful.
They were dancing gracefully underwater.

After the breathtaking view of sardines, our second destination, sea turtles. Unlike the sardines sea turtles found in the shallow part of the sea. I, myself just enjoying observing their behavior underwater. Astonishingly, they are incredibly huge.

The last part of this snorkeling activity, the coral reefs. Jaw-dropping indeed. I cannot find words to describe how amazing it was maybe because I was overwhelmed by its beauty and a variety of its colors and shapes. Honestly, I just want to stay there and look at it all day long.
Absolutely, brilliant.
Somehow, I'm just kind of sad that we just had this single photo in the destination. Of course, there are things that we can't handle or control like the battery energy in a GoPro but still thankful for this one.

Overall, this weekend's the getaway was perfect and it even more perfect because of those gorgeous people I shared it with. I'm just so happy about it. This experience will be added to my everlasting memory.
Looking for the next one guys.

Thank you so much. I hope you like it.
