The day before my birthday I was able to grab a spot on the boat trip to Apo Island for the second time. We went to three different spots to last time, including the most magnificent wall dive where I completed my Deep Diver speciality.
I used these nitrox babies during my deep dives, now that I'm nitrox certified. It's enriched air, usually containing 32% - 36% oxygen. Normal air has 21% oxygen, therefore when diving with nitrox, it means that you can dive for longer, as well as going deeper for longer.
The resort I'm staying at has a few hot spring spots on the beach, and when the tide goes out, the rocks and sand steam, creating a real eery atmosphere.
And last but not least, I went to a local mini festival at midnight a few nights ago. There, I tried this fugly-looking thing:
Here's the anticipated boiled egg foetus... it's a Philippine thing called Bulat. It's basically a chicken abortion - but a delicious one. I won't be having it again though...
