This is Sogod Bay- one of my favorite places to dive in the Philippines because of the healthy reef system, diverse marine life, laid back island vibe and lack of mass tourism. 😁 This place easily makes it to my top 5 places of dive in the Philippines. I’m so happy that these divers from all over the world were able to join me on this unforgettable trip. We had the time of our life! 🥰 I’m heading back to Sogod Bay, Southern Leyte on March 2025 (In time for whale shark season!) And you’re...

I’m a grown woman and I do what I wanna do! 🤪 Nothing to be embarrassed about… I pee in my wetsuit while diving and most divers I know do it too! 😬 Some people might find it gross but for me, if you gotta go, you gotta go! Just rinse and flush your wetsuit after. It’s not fun diving feeling like your bladder will explode. Believe me I tried and I was so uncomfortable the entire dive. 🤷🏽‍♀️ That’s just a normal part of diving. It really is not a glamorous activity. 😆 Do you pee in your wet...

It’s remarkable how stepping (or backrolling) into the water can instantly shift how you think and feel. 🥰 The second I plunge in, all those little worries I carry with me seem to melt away. There’s something about being in the water that makes everything seem more manageable. 🌊 I’ve found that diving offers the best kind of escape—one where you don’t need to run away, but just surrender to the moment. ✨ It’s like the ocean wraps you in its embrace and reminds you to leave behind the clut...
I may have drank a few more cups than usual just to see what @balitaogie will come up with… and I have no regrets 😁 Nothing like a good cup of coffee to warm you up and keep the energy going after a dive. 🙌 Are you addicted to coffee and diving too? 😁 . . #divinglife #scubalife #scubadivinglife #divingtrip #scubadivingaddicts #scubadiverslife #scubadivers #scubadivingislife #scubaworld #scubadiverlife #scubajunkies #ilovediving #lovediving #realdiving #paditv #divetravel #divetrip #diveli...
Would you swipe left or right on this one? This little guy is the ultimate mood—funny, weird, and maybe a little bit terrifying if you don’t know what you’re looking at. Meet the stargazer fish- one of the strangest/ scary looking fish in the sea. At least in my opinion! Stargazers bury themselves in the sand with just their eyes and mouth visible, waiting to ambush prey. They’re like nature’s ultimate lurkers—lowkey terrifying, yet oddly fascinating. And while they may not win a beauty c...
Do scuba brands really matter, or are we just paying for the name? I’ll admit it—I’m also not loyal to any one scuba brand, and it’s not because I don’t care about the brand but. It’s a mix of practicality, functions and budget. Scuba gear isn’t cheap, and when you’re putting your setup together, sometimes you go for what fits, works, and doesn’t leave you broke. Take my gear, for example I wear a Tusa mask, use an Aqualung BCD and have a Scubapro regulator. My buddy @beachy.ana dives the...
Buoyancy control: the art of mastering your movement underwater. 🌀 level 10 unlocked! 🔓 It’s not just a skill—it’s a game-changer for how you experience diving. Here’s @mayz_sirena practicing her buoyancy control by passing through a hoop, with a sea snake casually joining the fun! 🐍✨😅 Practicing buoyancy isn’t just about looking cool (though, let’s admit, it does look cool). It’s about conserving energy, protecting marine life, and ensuring you’re in total control during your dive. Have...

Diving has taught me the value of taking things slow. When you’re underwater, you can’t rush—rising too quickly can be dangerous. The same goes for life. We’re often in such a rush to get to the next thing, but the real beauty comes when you slow down, take deep breaths, and savor every moment along the way. I’ve had dives where I took the time to simply hover and watch the world around me. Those moments, though simple, are the ones I remember most. 💙 When was the last time you slowed do...
That’s an Academy award-winning rescue scene right there 🤣 Take the rescue diving course and master the art of drama, comedy, and action rolled into one. 🎭 But in all seriousness, this course is something I recommend every diver take regardless of how many dives you’ve had. If you value your safety and the safety of others, then this course is for you. Here’s what typically happens during the rescue diving certification, aside from acting 😂 - You will attend classes to learn about dive em...
I would choose a sea turtle. 🐢 These gentle creatures just seem to have life all figured out—they move with such calm, steady grace, like nothing can rush them. Watching a turtle drift along the reef is a reminder of how we can just be, without worrying about the past or rushing into the future. I love how they cruise at their own pace, completely unbothered by the world around them, just soaking in the moment. Imagine sharing a dive with a turtle, both of us gliding together, taking in t...
Enjoy my nudes, dude! I have more! 😝 If you don’t get it, these are nudibranch pictures. Sometimes referred to as nudes or nudies by divers. Nudibranchs are basically sea slugs found in the ocean. They come in different colors, shapes and sizes and can be found all over the world. Many divers including myself are obsessed with them! 😍 Did you like my nudes? 😂 Which one was your favorite? . . . #nudipic #nudibranch #nudi #nudibranchs #seaslug #seacritters #sealovers #oceanlife #sendnudies #...
