When the Bantay Dagat is trying to stop dynamite fishing from destroying our coral reefs, the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) is gave a special permit to operate to companies like this who could care less about our coral reefs other than making pesos !

I spotted one fish in that video. One fish. Where are the rest?

I certainly wouldn't want to be a passenger with driving skills like that

The submarine looks like a death trap and with that driving.. man.

The local gov't of Lapu Lapu City has ordered the company to stop operations. It was also required to explain the incident.

I have read news about submarine tours in Cebu. This incident is a good example of the result of an uncontrolled boom in the local tourism industry. The lack of safety procedures and best practices for submarine tours have caused damage to the reef and and endangered the lives of its paying passengers and crew. I suspect that the pilot of the submarine wanted the passengers to have a close-up view of the reef. It just got too close for its own good. Notice that the bow of the submarine has lots of scratches. It may have been in a similar incident in the past that was unreported. Fortunately, this time, this incident was caught on video.

they say that sub came from thailand. i wonder if its the same we saw in Pattaya. that one was plowing through staghorn corals there like a lawn mower. I dont think the driver of that sub has much visibility. dont think they care.

i've seen this sub.. while diving.

and with that video. they deserve to be grounded... or landed... or stoppped!

I think we were the first to have this submarine in Eilat/Israel, from where it shipped to Pattaya/Thailand, then followed to the Philippines.

From what we've seen when meeting the submarine underwater- it was good riddance...
