| The Fantastic Five |
One of the activities my family did in Boracay was helmet diving. Obviously, the rugrat, Pakoy, was too young to do this, so he had to wait on the boat with Mama and Papa, while Tito Bochok, Tita Mae, Tito Vince, Mommy Mcdo and Daddy Alvin put on a 25-pound helmet, submerged themselves in the water, walked on the seabed, and played with and fed different colorful fish. This wonderful experience was of course documented on camera - photos and video!

| I forgot to tuck my stomach in :D |
Among the five of us, I was the only one who had a hard time equalizing ear pressure. The helmet diving masters taught us three ways how to equalize - 1) Swallow; 2) Move your jaw sideways; 3) Pinch your nose and with mouth closed, blow from your nose. I was successful with the third method but I had to do it several times while underwater.

Helmet diving is definitely a must-try! Should you get the chance to do it, don't think twice, go for it. After all, life is too short to miss out on things like that :)

Looks like real fun Sis. Ang sweet pa ng moment ninyo ni Doc ha... Hehehe
ReplyDeleteSigurado ako inggit si Pakoy sa inyo...Hehehe
OMG! I can't help but publish a comment, KM! I'd love to do some underwater adventure too.
ReplyDeleteDi ba nakakatakot?
I wanna try this! Sobrang cute! And ooohhhh.. More than sexy ka talaga sa pic na'to ate KM! Inggit naman ako sa trip mo. :)
ReplyDeleteNakaalis ka na ng Phil te noh? :)
@ Rovie, naku, sinabi mo pa. Super inggit yan si Pakoy. Pero umiyak daw nung nawala kami kasi alam nya ang tagal namin sa ilalim ng tubig. Kala nya di na daw kami aahon.
ReplyDelete@ Lainy, uy vacay mode ka na ah. Hehe! Salamat naman at nakapag comment ka pa :) Di naman nakakatakot. Medyo nahirapan lang ako mag equalize talaga nung pressure. Saka very helpful yung mga diving masters. Although, in retrospect, nung kausap ko sister ko, medyo natakot daw sya kasi baka may shark daw na maligaw. Sabi ko naman eh nag swim with the sharks na ako kaya di ko na naisip yun. Hehe!
@ Algene, oo dito na ako ulit sa US. eto lakas pa ng jetlag. Kelangan nyo i-try to ni Abdel ;)
I remember I went with my family..It's really fun to do this.
ReplyDeleteInggit talaga ako sa inyo ni Doc Vince! Perfect get-away talaga, plus with the family pa! Sana ate KM, soon. :)
ReplyDeleteButi naman nakabalik ka na sa US :P
Gising pa kaya ako, gosh! I have mixed emotions with this trip. Di ako makatulog, natatakot ako na excited, di ko maintindihan, hahaha! And to think 4am ang alis namin eh 12:58am na ngayon. GEez!
ReplyDeleteExciting naman talaga yan, KM! Gustong- gusto ko rin yan. Hopefully before the year ends, I could gather enough guts to go underwater kahit di ako marunong lumangoy, LOL!
Next time kami naman nina Pakoy , mamarose ang mag-try.
ReplyDeleteGrabe KM, lakas ng loob mo at grabe din dahil andito lang ako kani kanina to check if may new post ka tapos now parang kulelat pa ako na nakaalam. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's really exciting siguro to go under water kaso lang di kaya ng powers ko yan. Sobrang takot ako sa ganyang adventure. I'm glad you've tried. You look so happy sa mga photos. :)
Ang sexy naman! I'd love to try this too...someday! :)
ReplyDeletedoes look interesting! lets you get a good view of the fish

ReplyDeleteHow much na nga pala mag helmet diving?
ReplyDeleteIt does look like fun. How quickly can you move if a hungry shark came strolling by...?
ReplyDelete;D
ganda ng legs at ng mga pieces.. he he, i wonder paano mag equalize ng option 3 with a helmet...
ReplyDeleteWow! Mukhang ang saya..
ReplyDeleteKakainggit much! :P
PS: I so like your bikini Ate! :) Sexy. wetwew!
ReplyDelete@Lainy: Di din ako marunong lumangoy. Paturo tayo kay Ate KM! :P
@ anney, replied at your blog ;)
ReplyDelete@ imriz, stef, mary, kriz, thanks, guys!
@ PS, wala pa ding tatalo sa legs, legs, legs mong nakakasilaw :D Madali lang yung third method, girl. Pwede mo naman kasi ipasok yung kamay mo sa loob ng helmet.
@ MC, tenkyu! Di naman kelangan marunong lumangoy para makapag helmet diving ;) Saka lapit kayo sa beach, di ba? Tara, praktis swimming tayo ;)
Wow! sexy naman... ganda seguro nang boracay.. hehehe...

I have lived on Tourism in Boracay for 15 years and loved the place so much i built cohiba. These are the Biggest and Best value for money apartments on the island period ! Every apartment has stunning sea views and 30m2 to 40m2 balconies with which to enjoy it. We are overlooking the windsurfing / kitesurfing bay where the season goes from November to april. Its either a great sport to participate, or great to just sit on your huge terrace and watch.Boracay apartments
ReplyDeleteWooot .. Oh so sexy.. ur so sexy :D Ok naman ah? Ganda nga eh. I was freaking nervous super the water behavior drives me nuts! We didn't take that long under the water, I can't even balance my body due to waves. But I had a great time though :)
