Paroon sa Coron - November 26-29 2017

November 26, 2017

HAHA naloka ako nung araw na to - nagpunta kami ng partner ko sa TERMINAL 3 tapos nung ni check namin yung terminal sa itinerary namin eh TERMINAL 4 pala! jusko halos magpawis ako ng barya kasi hapit na hapit na kami sa oras kaya another lesson sakin is - ALWAYS check your itinerary before leaving the house. Make sure na sa TAMANG airport ka pupunta. HAHA

9:35 AM On time yung boarding medyo madami lang nagtanong about my long fins (hand carry ko lang kasi wala akong manipis na bag at ayokong irisk na isama sa check in baggage)

After boarding ang buong akala ko eh hindi delayed pero I was wrong medyo matagal kaming naghintay sa runway bago umalis kasi wala daw parking for us.

11:00 AM Landed in Coron - YEY!! CORONNNN, naghintay ng sundo kasi kasama sa tour package namin yung airport transfers.

11:30 AM Left the airport

12:30 PM We had our lunch.

Paid PHP 220 for a turo turo - kaloka bakit ganito ang rate dito?!
After lunch we rested habang mainit pa.

Nasa itinerary talaga namin yung sunset at Mt. Tapyas pero since bawal na ako mapagod ng husto (EXCUSES) we decided na sa Maquinit hotspring nalang magpunta.

Mt. Tapyas from afar. 

We hailed a tricycle tapos we haggled PHP 100 round trip for 2hrs (regular rate for 1hr).

Reached the famous hotspring after 30mins.

For dinner

Pizza sana sa Altrove, okay yung ambiance – dimmed yung lugar at relaxing. Naka barefoot ka rin sa loob pero we craved for another food kaya nahati sa dalawa yung grupo.

Dinner

Shake PHP 80

BBQ PHP 80

Dinner PHP 220 (dangsilog, 1 ulam, 1 rice, 1 soda)

After dinner spoke to Dive buddy ng bayan Louie to help us arrange our itinerary base from our preference.

Ended the night with: Every dive same destination but different experience – Louie (OHHH diba ang TARAY!)

8:00 AM Hotel pick up for ultimate Coron tour

8:30 AM Boat

1^st stop Siete Pecados

Inikot namin yung mga islets ang daming sightings. 

We saw school of Barracuda (first time ko to see school of Barracudas kaya my heart is super happy!) and Jack fish at syempre hindi nag patalo ang isang mahiyaing Hawksbill turtle.

Saw this cigarette butt on my way back to the boat -- seriously??? I am not mocking smokers pero sana let's all be responsible enough for our butts. #Disposeproperly

2^nd stop Kayangan Lake

We left our fins sa boat kasi bawal due to accidents sa area – I do not want to give more details pero Google mo nalang.

They strictly impose No lifevest No entry policy sa area pero kung certified freediver ka then I guess mas may chance na payagan ka to use your fins.

Pak! Pak! ganern

When we are already in the area nagawan namin ng paraan yung no fins. Take turns lang kami sa dive para lang mag pakuha ng pictures.

3^rd stop Barracuda Lake

Same rules with Kayangan kaya hindi na kami tumuloy papasok kasi another entrance na naman tapos ayaw naman kami papasukin ng may fins kahit na certified yung mga kasama namin.

4th stop Atuayan beach where we had our Lunch.

Lunch was super busog at masarap and madami rin. Ohhhh this life -- yan yan nalang yung nasabi ko.

Pagkatapos kumain -- natulog ng kaunti (Buhay baboy) LOL.

5^th stop Skeleton wreck

Madaming snorklers.

Only explored the tip of the wreck because I can't go deep since I am 11 weeks preggy (approved ng OB ko to noo)

Hi Sirenars! :)

6^th Twin Lagoon

Parang may gaas yung consistency ng tubig.kasi mixure ng salt and tabang.

Hindi na kami ng fins at nag swim lang for a moment then head back.

They called it twin lagoon kasi meron dyang small opening going to another lagoon so technically tatawid ka sa isa pang lagoon.

5:00 PM End of tour.

Dinner at Lolo Nonoy's (PHP 73 Dinner - sharing)

November 28, 2017

Breakfast at 6:00 AM

8:30 AM Hotel pick up for C1 tour

9:30 AM Left port

1^st stop East Tangat

We braved the rough ocean for 1.5 hours para marating yung East Tangat.

2^nd Pass Island

White sand – nag chill lang kami at nag picture picture.

Nagpapicture sa cute na cute na resident dog (IDK what's his name)

 We just enjoyed the white sand beach under(and top) the palm trees.

We ate our lunch at the boat para rin hindi sayang sa oras.

3^rd stop Lusong Coral garden.

Naamaze ako sa colorful corals pero kaunti lang ang isda.

4th Lusong gunboat wreck

Mababaw lang siya. Medyo hapon na nung dumating kami at medyo hindi na maganda yung tubig dahil sa current at alon. We saw Mameng and trigger fish.
Huhu wala pala akong picture ng lusong gunboat but you can watch the video of our trip on this link :)
