About The Dive: Ce matin pour la plongée de 11h, nous sommes allés sur Balinghai au nord de l'ile de Boracay. La plongée fut riche en emotion, on a pu voir une énorme raie aigle passé pas très de nous. Pour finir la plongée nous nous sommes arrêtés sur le haut du plateau, parfait car une jolie tortue verte etait là comme si elle nous attendait.
Nous sommes du coup rester pres d'elle à l'observer. Puis terminer la plongée avec un palier de sécurité à 5m.

About The Dive: Balinghai always treats us right, even more on shallow dives!

We went down from the line and, first thing to greet us was a beautiful sea snake. She was curious but way too shy, and ran away from us quickly.
As we drifted through our dive we were able to spot a small sea turtle that didn't seem very happy to be too close to fishes.
We spotted three big lobsters, and we stayed quite a long time with funniest peacock mantis shrimp.

Such a nice dive!
