As a sucker for all things outdoor, I have tried quite a number of activities. Some of them I never thought I'd dare to do because there is water or swimming involved and I don't know how to swim. But because pops and the boyfriend seem to be enjoying a lot under water and seeing their under water shots make me envious, I, the girl who panics at the sound the word swim, tried intro to scuba diving in Atimonan, Quezon.
We dived in Atimonan's biggest rotary emblem which they created
to serve as an artificial reef to sea creatures.
Not our usual backpacks.

My favorite shot of Jose. I was 20ft. under. Now that I think about it... Yikes!

As it turns out, it is not as intimidating as it sounds because you all have the things you need to survive under water in your BCD (buoyancy control device) where the oxygen tank is attached. It may not be intimidating, but it could be overwhelming when you have to deal with buttons in your BCD and equalizing at the same time. It may overwhelm you but NEVER allow yourself to panic and ALWAYS listen to your diving instructor to avoid unnecessary accidents. You follow instructions and you are good to dive.
