Anilao Trip - Day 3

Today's surface is still choppy, we can hear the big splashing sound against the rocks from the place we eat...scary...

As usual, our daily dosage of acupuncture from the splashing of sea water when we are on the boat...wah =.= cmi...i hang on to my dear life...again! Joy said, if i remove my hands from the edge of the boat, u can see the dents from the fingers...hahahhaa...

Went back to Kirby's Rock...actuallie i like there, always have many interesting things to see...we saw a BIG violet frog fish there...and it was baring its teeth at us cos i think TOO many of us staring at it...hahahhaa...i spotted the dragon moray eel so i was quite happy w that..that's the one tt's super hostile and poised to bite if we go any nearer...haahaa

half way through, we saw the other grp of guys tt came a day after us, one of them lost one of his fins!! it was quite funny...i dunno how he actuallie lost it and it's not found on the seabed...apparently it floated up...dunno how...but it was a comical sight seeing someone finning w 1 fin and the other foot kicking...kekeke...

OH...this dive was the first time i reallie reallie see a trigger fish~ BUT apparently the trigger fishes in philippines dun attack ppl...in fact, the way the dorsal fins move, it's quite pretty~

Next dive site was at Bethlehem

Over protective clown fishes..they attacked Joy cos she was too near...BUT when ade and i kneeled down next to her, they din attack us...strange lil creatures...and Joy was very funni, she was shooing them back to their house but of cos they ignored her...hehehe...kawaii~ i was a little clumsy and cos the seabed is very sandy, my finning caused the sand to fly up -.- tsk tsk but sandy seabed got more things to see..like solefish...it covered itself w sand and lies flat on the seabed :), then got garden eels that shrink back into the seabed when we approach but comes back out when we leave -.- we saw a cow fish...it's quite cute cos it has horns :P

due to the strong waves, the boat docked further away from the resort and we had to walk back...reallie very scary, i hold on to the railings like mad...so scared i will be swept into the sea...there were a few close encounters though...scary!!

afternoon dive is very near the resort, at Jeepney...but the sea is super duper choppy and the first 4 m visibility is like ZERO!! i popped my head in the water and was like...see wad?!?! i was very scared actuallie...first time i am diving in poor vis water...but ok lah, as we go down w the buoy rope, it started to clear a little...but still...very scary...somemore this dive was w Hernel...maybe i got used to Joy...i dun feel as safe w Hernel...just a psychological thing...

We saw the jeepney wreck, tyres etc...and a super duper uber LARGE sea cucumber, it makes me wonder if i am seeing things...it's so freaking fat and long!! it's like a miniature sea monster =.= we saw an orange pipe fish, puffer fish, stone fish etc...took photo at the statue of mother mary BUT i dunno how is he gonna send us the photo =.= sigh sigh...

when we were nearer to the surface, we were swaying from side to side due to the surge...i can't swim straight...haha..

that night we stayed up chit chatting, finally no more slping at 9+ :) haa...ash asked me when was the last time i slpt at 9+ b4 this trip...the ans? the dayang trip! dayang was reallie tiring...
