Helmet Diving

Helmet Diving in Boracay

Where in this place could you try Helmet Diving? Well, of course, only in the number one paradise island in the Philippines, BORACAY.


I, together with my officemates, flew to this island last January 13, 2016. It was my first time to visit the place and I was really in awe. Though as expected there were a lot of people, both local and foreign tourists, but still the place was crazy beautiful. Upon arrival, I really couldn't believe I was already there considering that I was still in Manila just a couple of hours ago. But then, I already enjoyed it the moment my feet touched its super fine sand. Not just fine, I mean, white and very fine sand. I was like a kid again while enjoying the simple strolling in the beach. And since I'm a foodie as well, I kept on looking to spot the best restaurants where we could dine in. Though it's pricy but it was nice.


But the highlight of my trip was really the Helmet Diving experience. As a first timer, I was a bit scared to do it, though I'm not afraid going underwater. There are several local people offering you that particular adventure but we decided to go in group so we were able to avail it on a lower price. During our time, the usual price ranged from P800-1200 per pax but since we used our PEOPLE skills, we were able to shell out only P525 per pax. What a great offer right? And so, upon signing on their waivers, we jumped into the sky boat to take us to the location where we would do the adventure. After an almost 10-minute orientation, we were already ready to dive and feed those fishes. I was a bit hesitant before because I had once a problem with my auditory sense way back when I was still a child, and it still being triggered sometimes by the unusual pressure, but NO BACKING OUT. Upon crowning to me my helmet, I slowly went down the calm ocean and saw a paradise. WOW!! That was the first word I uttered. I just enjoyed the moment I was underwater while feeding different kinds of fish. That was almost 30 minutes then we need to head back again to the shore. By the way, the package of the activity already included a diving coach and a copy of all your pictures since the coach himself took all your pictures. That was really a jackpot package for us.


To wrap up, the experience was super worth it. It's really a must try and your Boracay escapade is incomplete without trying this activity. This actually summed up everything in Bora. The amount we paid was way beyond what we had. So to those going to Boracay, put in your bucketlist this activity. It's a must and it was really unforgettable.


Cheers!!! :-)
