Saturday Aug 6 - driving thru the zigzag road to aquav I can clearly see white caps out in the horizon not to mention hearing the constant howl of the wind and loose rocks falling from the hillside and I thought dis is goin to be a *****ty dive.
Arriving at the resort (3:30pm) I lost no time in going to the dive shop and asking the manager "anybody out there diving?" and he answered "Yes Sir Caloy, nandito po yung mga matatapang!". I was wondering who these guys were and before long I saw them disembarking from the bangka. One got caught in a strong wave and techically free dived for 3 seconds before standing up with a smile, the other two did a swim-through (swim-over) over the bangka's katig not before a wave pushed the katig up, flipping their feet up into the air and doing a trapeze act landing on their backs. Circus Act talaga. Tawanan, tulakan, matigas!
They are some of my friends, all girls in their early twenties, all OWs and all with only 12 dives under their belts. Matatapang, for the love of the game, sport or hobby whatever; they cannot resist the lure of diving even on a cold, windy, rainy saturday. I couldn't help smile for that is also the reason why I was there. Their's was the last boat in and diving was cancelled. So I didn't dive and didn't regret it cuz the weather worsened.
Sunday - to be continued muna....

Sunday Aug 7 - Woke up early and proceeded right away to the balcony to see what was in store for us divers. Saw a thick mist hiding the horizon, couldn't see much, don't know if it was hiding white caps. Anyway, I just wished for a smooth dive with gud viz. The plan was for a Bahura dive, the newbies in the group weren't exactly enthusiatic to dive in there cuz of what they were already seeing from aquav to dive7000, swells which some of the more experienced ones say were 4-5 feet swells. So off we go, the bravest among the yellows. We stop right on top of the "amphitheater" of Bahura. I splashed, I descended.... into the most incredible visibility I have ever experience (our Dm sez 100ft. viz!, I believe him). At 315 deg. heading we finned ever so slowly, Bahura was showing her most captivating and alluring side. Not more than ten minutes into the dive, we encountered a big turtle (hawksbill, I think) swimming towards us, we stopped and it circled us. Then a school of jacks zip right thru our group, we were getting luckier. Farthermost point of Bahura is the hole in the wall and it is here that you kneel on a ledge and look below you, nothing but blue deep water. Then a shadow, forming into something and then it was there as I suspected, It was a black tip shark. Lazily not minding us it swam deeper until it was just a dot. We ended the dive and surfaced under a torrential rain.
At the boat you just smile to the other divers who silently like me was truly fascinated and captivated by the Bahura dive. I guess she was just rewarding us for giving her the time inspite of the bad weather.
