Faith is Life

So I left for Dumaguete after 3 days on Malapascua Island.  I left around 9am and got back to Cebu city at around 2:30pm.  I was actually gonna stay in Cebu for that night and hang out with a friend.  But then I realized I could actually catch the boat for Dumaguete.  If you’re reading this, sorry 猪婆.  By the time I got to Dumaguete, it was 9pm because of the delay.  These tricycle guys at the dock were haunting me and asking if I wanted a ride.  There’s this one tricycle guy who was trying to rip me off for 600php to get to Dauin then dropped to 350php in 3 minutes.  He said the trip takes an hour.  I read it online before that some girl did it for that price and for that long to get to Mike’s Resort.  So I knew I could at least get that price.  Then there’s another tricycle guy who said he’d take me for 250php and I’ll get there in half an hour.  As soon as he gave me that offer, the other guy started arguing with him in Filipino. That was actually the first time I’ve seen the competition among Filipino people. Before then, I’ve never seen anyone who would drop down the price because there are so many competitions.  The price is the same no matter how many people you talked to.  Filipino people are pretty tight in that regard.  Not sure what that guy said but obviously he wasn’t happy.  I was iffy about it so I called Mike.  Mike told me it takes about 300p and 30min to get to Dauin.  So I went with that guy for 250p.  Thankfully, I was able to find someone who was kind enough to make that phone call for me.  Those tricycle guys took me to a booth where they have a landline but the guys in there told me they couldn’t call a cellphone number from a landline…but I only had Mike’s cell.  So I asked them if they could call from their cellphone and I would pay for it.  This lady in the office made the call for me.  (not getting a SIM card at the airport was a big mistake!  That was my only chance to get one.)  I asked her how much I owed her, and she was like “don’t worry about it”.  So I gave her a hug and thanked her for being so generous.  I know a call doesn’t really cost much but it seems like most people don’t wanna do it for some reason.  Maybe I’m foreign. Maybe they’re poor. I don’t know. But people won’t even bother responding where I come from and these filipinos did seem like they wanted to help so I would say it’s probably because they’re poor. 

I asked the tricycle guy to pull over so I can pull out money from an ATM and get food at McDonalds.  They have this spaghetti and a coke for only 50php, which is less than 10rmb.  That’s dirt cheap!

So I got to Mike’s Resort in about 30mins.  I found it through other Chinese divers online and I told Mike that I was coming.  He booked a room for me at the place next to their resort.  But they didn’t have a room for me cuz I got there one day earlier.  So Mike let me stay at one of their 2500php room for only 1000php, only for that night though.

The room itself was really nice.  The only thing is that the pillows kinda suck, but I was too tired to care.

If there is a fear that I need to get over with.  Pets would be it.  Cats and dogs. 

The cottage next to Mike's Resort.  Forgot the name.  950php/night, fan room with hot shower.  There's a fridge.  They bring you hot water every morning so you can make coffee if you want.  There's a kitchen that you can use in the house in the first pic.  The market is like 20min walk though.  Not much in the market either. 

Diving in Dumaguete was way better than that in Malapascua.  It really reminds me of Puerto Galera because many fish I saw there I saw them here too.  Dumaguete city is in Oriental Negros province. (How racist is that!) Dauin is like 30min ride from Dumaguete City.  Apo Island is another 30min boat ride from Dauin.  I dove two days in Dauin and two days in Apo island.  They’re really different.  There're divers that I met who dove in many world class dive sites and thought the corals on Apo were one of the best they’ve ever seen.  But there aren’t that many fish on Apo.  Dauin is the other around.  So it depends on what kind of diving you enjoy more.   I personally thought the drift dives we had were memorable because they were new to me.  The currents were so fast that I felt like I was riding a motorbike underwater.  I think riding a DPV is probably similar except that it’s safer? I’m curious to find out one day. :) Me and the girl from Shanghai weren’t sure if we were ready for Coconut Point because of the unpredictable currents it’s famous for.  But after a few days of diving with the guys, the DM thinks we could handle it so here we go.  The currents weren’t as bad as we thought it would be.  And I was glad that I was able to spot a few scorpionfish and a stingray. There was a jack fish swimming towards me like it’s about to attack, then it made a turn to attack a large school of small fish near by.  The fish school keeps warily away from the jack.  The jack missed after a few attempts.  It kinda seemed like the fish school was messing with the jack. Hehe… I was so excited when I saw that happen.  Tried to point it out to the girl from Shanghai but she didn't see it.  We also saw this huge big brown-marbled grouper yawning…well I thought it was letting other small fish to clean him but the dive guide said it was yawning cuz he didn't think there were any cleaner around.  me shrugs*  There’s this dive site called Mainit in Dauin.  Mainit means hot in local language.  The sand underwater was warm because there’s a volcano.  We could see lava flows running out of the sand.  It was nice to have cuz the diving was a little bit cold. 

I finally broke half hundred logs!  My buoyancy control is definitely getting better. : ) I honestly need to get my own BC and fins though, especially BC.  They have this minor leaking on the inflator hose.  They told me not to worry.  I kept an eye on it.  Nothing happened.  But it's always better to use your own equipment so you dont have to deal with this kind of BS. 

Apo Island

the people I met in Dumaguete

I dont know why I see this thing on every trip.

I have to have this drink everywhere.  AMF is da bomb.

I finally found out why those filippinos called me Sunshine back on Bohol.  The guys working at Mike's were talking about how I look like Sunshine.  So I asked them to look it up online and we found out it's the chick from the Taiwanese TV show Meteor Garden流星花园.  I was kinda disappointed cuz I was hoping it was something cool like...a pornstar?  Or it's because of my personality?  I love being called Sunshine so whatever. :)

They have this Malatapay Market thing going on once a week in Dumaguete city.  It’s about 30min drive from Mike’s if I remember it right.  So we went check it out in the morning before diving.  It’s kinda like what we have in China except that we don’t sell tobacco out in the open.  And you see these crazy people walking with pigs, cows, lambs and horses.  I don’t know if they’re selling them alive or what.  That was eye-opening for me.

The beach on Dauin wasnt as bad as everybody said.  It is black but it doesn't have to be a white sand beach.  I personally think it's nice to walk on.  And it's sparkling in the sun.

The chick from Shanghai is a solo diver like me.  She's been to Similan and Sipadan before, which I found out arent as expensive as I always thought.  Guess where I'm going next! :D

On the last day,  Mike's son Keith took me to the mountain to see the hot spring.  It was pretty nice.  Bigger than I thought it would be.  They didnt sell tickets at the entrance but they do ask you for a donation.  It makes sense cuz they have rails all around the mountain and the pools.

some dude on the mountain

And now, the bikini hottie as you all have been waiting for...

Not bad huh?

Seriously, people are not that open in this country.  I was heading to the market the other morning.  The local guys at Mike's offered me a ride but I really just wanted to walk since it's only 15 minutes away.  Didn't really want to waste their gas anyway.  But a few minutes later,  Keith caught up with me on a bike and told me those guys kept telling him to give me a ride.  He's foreign to this country like me.  We didn't know what was going on.   Keith figured I might run into some trouble on the way so I hopped on.  Next thing I know, everybody looked at me weird at the market cuz I was wearing a bikini and a t-shirt.  Big deal.  I wasn't thinking because it's not really a muslim country and I thought Philippines had lotsa western influence.

Road to the market..

I felt like I was in a downward spiral throughout the whole trip.  It mostly happened when I was alone cuz that’s usually when I got to think.  I consider myself positive, relatively.  At least I have been trying to deal with everything going on in my life as positive as I could.  I know everyone has their bad days.  Stop whining.  Suck it up, Faith.  It would be easier to suck it up if there were something you can do.  I’m not a cynic.  My life doesn’t suck.  Everything I want I go for it.  I’m pretty happy with myself.  There're just things that I wish I didn't have to deal with and there's absolutely nothing I can do to change that.  I try not to think about them as much cuz why worry if it’s something you cant change?  The only thing I could do is either run away from them or wait for them to change.  Either way.  It’s not something I would consider positive.  That’s not me.  I wanna take control of my life.  But there is honestly nothing else I can do.  I'm happy that all of the people I met think I’m bubbly and full of energy.  At least, I haven't let those things affect my life.  At some point, I came to realize that I’ve always tried to be that strong independent girl who doesn’t need anyone, and that probably made people who I do care about feel less important.  It's just my pride.

This is my third visit to the Philippines within the past 12 months.  I wouldn’t call this a spiritual trip but I did find a bit more about myself.

This time, I didn’t really have /a plan/ for a change.  I usually do because I worry a lot and I like to have plans so I’d know what to expect.  Being the third time in the Philippines, I sorta want something unpredictable.

North Bus Terminal, Cebu City

Maya Pier, about an hour away from Malapascua Island

I literally spent 15 hours to get to this island called Malapascua.  Legend has it that it’s called so because the Spanish people first landed here in a storm on Christmas day.  Well at least that’s what Mr. Google told me.  Malapascua actually means bad Easter in Spanish so I don’t know what’s the dealio here.  Ironically, Christmas is the best time of the year for seeing thresher sharks.  It only takes about 3 hours to walk around the island but I never ended up doing it.

Bounty Beach, Malapascua Island

Right when I jumped off the boat, there’re a few local people who offer to help carry my luggage.  This happened a lot when I was in the Philippines.  Most of them want your money.  Some simply want to help.  I always turn them down politely because I don’t want strangers to touch my sh*t and I don’t wanna pay for something I’m capable of doing.  However this guy gave me the WTF face and told me how he’s not a gangster and he just wants to help me out.  I kept smiling and told him I’m a big girl I can handle it myself.  He kept walking with me trying to help me get a place to stay.  I ditched him for this group of Hong Kong people that I bumped into.  They’re nice enough to ask me to join them for lunch and even diving.  They’re a group of 20+ people so they couldn’t have the diving schedule settled soon, and they planned to stay on the island for a couple days unlike me, who only have 2 days for diving.  As soon as I walked back to the beach, I saw the Filipino guy again.  He kept walking with me until I decided to stay at Exotic.  One thing that’s never gonna happen in China is that you can actually leave your luggage in any dive shop while you check out others.  Even if you don’t end up staying with them, they’re okay with that.  The trust among people in the Philippines makes me feel like an ahole for being so cautious sometimes.

So I did my homework on thresher sharks, hoping when I get to see one I would recognize it.  After 9 dives on Malapascua (I did one on the first day when I got on the island, then 4 dives a day, 2 days in a row), I didn’t see any thresher shark.  Diving in one of the few places in the world where threshers are spotted on a regular basis, you would think you’d at least get to see one.  But nada! I stayed down there for almost an hour each dive, freezing, and saw literally more divers than fish.  The other group of divers saw 5 threshers at another dive site on the same day.  If that doesn’t make you feel better, the last day when I didn’t dive, “Oh we saw them!  A hammerhead too! ” FML.

That's the guy I didn't get to see!

Even though I didn’t see threshers, mantas or the legendary hammerheads, I still saw some cool stuff that I’d never seen before on other dives.  Saw mandarin fish too.  Nope, didn’t mate.  Story of my life. ;)

 Diving in Gato Island

My room at Exotic.  650peso/night, fan room with shared bathroom.  There's an A/C in that room but I knew I didn't even need the fan so didn't bother asking for the price.   The whole building was really clean and I never bumped into anyone else when I used the bathroom.  Cold shower wasn't an issue for me either.   Of all the dive shops I stayed with, I like this room the best because the bed and the pillow are the most comfortable ones.  Even the pillow at the 2500peso/night room was nothing compared to this.   Exotic offers DM students 5000peso a month for a room like this.  It's such a good deal that I'm considering taking my DM course there just for the comfort.  And it comes with free breakfast too! (not sure if it's the same with DM students)

I chose here cuz it's Exotic like me! Giggdy. XD

 The best thing about going on a dive trip is not the diving itself but the people you get to meet. You make more friends when you’re traveling alone.  I met so many great people when I was at Exotic; the guys from another Hong Kong group who massaged my leg after my little accident on the boat, the fun French Canadian couple (I still don’t understand why people think French Canadians are hardcore), the cute sisters from Hong Kong (there were so many people from Hong Kong went to that island that I felt like I never left China), the Canadian guy who spent a year in China and didn’t believe I studied English by myself, and the Exotic crew who provided great service.  I had such a blast that I felt a little sad leaving.  If I ever go back to Malapascua, I would choose Exotic again and make sure I stay long enough to see threshers.

Logon Beach, Malapascua

For the first time in my life, I saw seahorses ALIVE when I was diving in Puerto Galera. Yes, seahorses are used in traditional Chinese herbology. And No, I don’t understand why. In fact, there’s a lot about Chinese medicine that I don’t understand. I think it’s just a marketing strategy. Lots of people believe shark’s fin actually does you good because the media told them so, so they buy it and eat it. Seahorses have been endangered due to overfishing and habitat destruction. I honestly don’t understand why people eat them. If I’m hungry, I don’t wanna eat 500 of those to fill my stomach. Why do people believe that eating them will actually make them healthier? Had they actually seen the result? It bothers me even more when people don’t even care to drink enough water or do any sport. Talk about health!

One thing I like about seahorses is that the male carries the offspring to term. : ) As the female releases her eggs, her body slims while his swells.  It’s not as great as it sounds.  Making eggs is A LOT of work to the female seahorse, since she loses 1/3 of her body weight.  Hmm…sounds like a fair game.

某天晚上去体验了一下sabang的夜生活 一群20出头的姑娘身穿比基尼在台上走来走去 是的 她们真的不会跳舞 我跳得比她们好！不过身材还是不错的 流流口水吧 据说2000p一晚哦！很便宜吗？我不清楚！为什么她们的比基尼都这么好看！

终于可以潜水了 可是我只是在southsea潜多了3潜 因为最后一天和他们潜水的时候有点不爽 他们想带我去elma jane 一个沉船点 我说我前几天去过了 不想再去 然后他们问我想去哪里 我说了几个我想去的地方 然后潜店的老板sky说那里太远了 会浪费他的油 #￥@*$#@Q%$ 我当时心想 我给钱你干嘛？！ 当然 那天下午只有我一个人 可能是因为这个原因吧 如果是 他完全可以说等多点人的时候再带我去 但他没有 因为我跟他们的7潜都几乎在离沙滩不远处 所以我想去远一点点的地方 于是我就问so you just dont go those dive sites at all? 然后sky说不是 但...貌似有难言之隐 最后他决定带我去离潜店大概10分钟船程的潜店 sinadigan wall 已经比我之前潜的地方远了很多了 那是我当天最后一潜 潜水之后我和美国男去吃饭替他送行 我把southsea发生的事告诉他 他似乎比我更愤怒 说我不应该继续再跟他们潜水 他向我推荐了mermaid 他这两天跟mermaid潜水看到的东西让我羡慕不已 我跟southsea什么都没看到 我跟southsea说我想看豆丁海马 想看什么什么 他们说不是那么容易找 我也明白这一点 所以我也没有强求 我一直都默默地等待 直到sky说他因为要省油而不能带我去其他潜点 我不能再忍受了 于是我回到潜店把我的装备都拿走 告诉他们我明天再去结帐 第二天我和mermaid的导潜jeff 也是美国男之前的导潜 一起去潜水了 第一潜我就看到了两条豆丁海马！还有粉红色的frogfish 这反映出什么问题？也许是因为jeff是当地的导潜 熟悉当地的潜点 也许是southsea根本不愿意带我去其他潜点 因为浪费他们的油钱 也许两者都是 后来两天我都在mermaid潜了 那两天我过得很快乐 对mermaid十分满意 即使只有我一个人客人的时候 他们也愿意带我去“远”一点的潜点 把最好的东西找给我看 很希望自己早点听美国男说的去mermaid潜 他潜的时候也是只有他一个客人 那些“远”的潜点他也去了 虽然比southsea更贵（一潜贵不够200p） 但我更愿意花多点的钱享受更好的服务 southsea的三个教练都和我潜过 paul,mike,sky都是不错的人 也很认真地给我练习中性浮力 特别是mike 但对于sky最后说的话 我不愿意接受这样的服务 所以我选择离开

这次旅行令我很不愉快的事：

1.       看到不少白化的珊瑚和垃圾。

两个水上酒吧对此功不可没。潜了几天，捡到不少啤酒瓶，塑料袋，甚至还有内裤。对于珊瑚，潜水员只有不断提高自身技术才不会不慎踩踢到珊瑚。我也估计伤害了不少。

2.       听到某些潜水员兴奋地叙述着在水下玩弄了什么生物，捡到了什么纪念品。

每个人潜水的目的都不一样，我没有资格去谴责别人，因为我是一个肉食者。至少我能管好自己，做一个负责任的潜水员。保护好环境才有地方可以潜，保护好当地物种才有东西可以看。除了气泡，什么都不留下；除了照片，什么都不带走。大部分人对海洋了解很少，作为潜水员，我觉得我有义务宣传正面的信息。只有认知才会理解，只有理解才会热爱，只有热爱才会保护。

3.       看到导潜为了把章鱼弄出来给我拍照，用叮叮棒搞了半天。

jeff是个热心的导潜，每次见到好东西的时候都问我有没有拍下。有一潜见到章鱼了，但章鱼待在洞里了。Jeff为了把章鱼引出来，用叮叮棒往洞里戳了很久，章鱼甚至喷墨了。我当时心里很难受，我宁愿不拍照片也不愿意章鱼受到这样的对待。想想如果是我，被人一直戳我会高兴么？当时我很想上前去阻止，我转身看了看来自哈萨克斯坦的潜伴，他目不转睛地在盯着那洞，再看看jeff很努力地想把章鱼引出来。我是否应该去阻止？我这样做是否剥脱了潜伴看东西的权利了？我制止jeff他会不会不高兴？我又一次做了退缩者。现在受尽良心的谴责。所幸的是jeff最后也放弃了，我们离开了。在第二潜，我们如愿地见到了一条章鱼，我也拍下来了。可是我得到的教训是，对于过分热心的导潜，该出手时还是要出手。我发誓我下次一定会制止，即使冒着被整船人骂的危险！

当然，菲律宾给我的印象还是很正面的。看我今年去了两次就知道我有多热爱这个地方。

首先在batangas码头我们就遇到了好心的菲律宾大叔帮我们买了码头税。因为我们从atm提出来的都是1000p大钞。买了两瓶水之后，最小面值也是只有100p. 买两张35p的税都没钱找。是的，菲律宾就是这样！两次旅行我都充分体验到了。1000p和500p面值的钞票很大！如果是凌晨的话，基本上不用指望店铺会有零钱给你。因为他们第一笔生意什么钱都没有！大白天我在PG拿着一张1000p，想去便利店买吃的，结果没零钱找。然后跑回潜店，潜店好不容易给了我两张500p，然后我再跑回去便利店，500p还是没有！那我要去哪里换！店员说西联汇款有。如果没有西联汇款的地方就。。。

几位韩国人看见我们提行李这么辛苦，就问我们要不要帮忙了，真是雪中送炭啊！

我以前还不相信自己是这么hot的，这次我真的相信了！每天走在沙滩上都有不少人跟我打招呼，特别是当地的男女，对我更是不吝啬地称赞。southsea的收银小姐以为我是模特问我拿签名...我还认得一个保安，英文可能不太好，问了我问题，我回答了，但他又答不上。但每次我经过都会用不同的词称赞我Sexy! Beautiful! 搞得我心花那个怒放...走在沙滩上，好几个菲律宾男问我名字跟我握手...还有几个搭讪的白人...唯独是中国人见到我的时候还是会说我瘦 也许这跟文化有关系 从小父母就只会打击我们 不会赞赏我们 也许我就不合国人胃口吧 但为什么你们会赞赏那些电视上网络上明明就跟我一样瘦的女生有多性感！ 某台湾明星见到我 对我说“你好瘦哦！你应该多吃点！” 我很想回敬一句“你好胖哦，不要再吃了” 她当时刚好在吃饭 哈哈 但我知道，如果我这样说，在场的人估计会认为我怎么会这么不礼貌。估计没有人会意识到她这样说对我也是很不礼貌的吧？不过无所谓了，除了国人，全世界的人都觉得我是性感的！i’m hot as f×ck!!!!!!!!!!!!! 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

旅行最大的收获就是认识很多来自五湖四海各行各业的人，结交了不少朋友，带来了不少爱情工作等发展的机会！细节不详！

9夜10天的旅行，吃，睡，潜水一共用了3000多rmb吧。其中潜水就用了2500. 在PG吃的是不便宜，回到马尼拉SM MALL OF ASIA吃的绝对比PG吃的便宜很多。可想而已PG有多贵了。上菜还是保持菲民族特色——慢！不过至少说明这是新鲜的

尽管还没离开的时候，聪问我是否会回来，我当时的回答是否定。但我回来之后无时无刻在想念那里的生活。菲律宾，我会再回来的！

几乎跟sabang所有的潜店都谈过 大部分都愿意给我上rescue diver course. 只有southsea和啤酒鲨都建议我多潜一点 因为我当时只有17潜 所以他们建议我潜多点再考 我同意他们的看法 所以我觉得在southsea先进行fun dives 第一天的3潜十分糟糕 因为我带了全新的5mm wetsuit 浮力无比地大 下降和上升都很有困难 所以表现得不怎么好 带我的教练跟我说不是我的问题 是因为我的装备新 要一段适应期间 他说他现在穿的7mm wetsuit刚开始也是很难下水 现在偶尔也有点问题 不知道是安慰我还是怎样了 反正我知道自己技术的确还没到家 所以还是先多累计瓶数再考证吧

第二天的第二潜时 我不小心超过了免减压时间 要做强制安全停留 一切都很安全地进行 但当我上到3米的时候我失控了 要上升 这是电脑开始beep 我再次下降回3米的地方 电脑停止beep 不久我又再次上升 这次我无法再下去了 然后我看到导潜也上来了 于是我也没有再下去 这个时候我都电脑进入了error mode 在不停的beep 糟糕了 估计要很久都不能再潜水了 由于电脑是新买的 而且说明书我在几个月前看的 记得不太清楚 我问教练什么问题 他用的也不是我的电脑 所以他也不清楚 后来回到潜店 翻看说明书 发现我其实可以在上升后的3分钟内重新下回3米做停留 可是我不知道 于是根据说明书 我48小时之内不能再潜水了 对我来说是一个很大的打击 潜店里的教练们建议我今天不要再潜水了 但如果明天我要潜而我的电脑还没恢复正常的话 他们可以借电脑给我 理论上 我和mike一起潜水 他的电脑没事 而我的电脑有事 那是我的电脑设定太保守了（我设置了P1） 当然 他们不能告诉我 我是安全的 可以潜水 因为我的电脑说不可以 所以决定权还是在我手上 我决定当天至少不再做任何潜水了 至于明天潜不潜 等我考虑一下再说吧

sabang除了潜水 夜生活 什么都没有 中午吃饭我还在考虑下午可以做什么的时候 遇见了之前搭讪过的澳洲男 他说他要去big la laguna beach游泳 他说big la laguna beach更好 经过他的指引 午饭过后 我一人穿过了red sun divers步行来到了big la laguna beach 当我经过red sun的时候我就发现了天上居然有彩虹！ 心情顿时顺畅了很多

这将会是一个美好的下午！果然 big la laguna beach比sabang, small la laguna beach都要好看 虽然不能算是很好的沙滩 不过能让我躺下晒太阳 我就很满足啦

于是我在海边一家酒吧买了一瓶啤酒 坐在沙滩上享受着一个人的下午 这时我发现天上出现了第二条彩虹！好吧 看来我必须买第二瓶啤酒

我又买了一瓶啤酒 正准备走回阳光下 一男前来搭讪 于是我们就一起瞎聊了一个下午我们坐在沙滩聊天的时候 一只狗走到了我身旁 睡在了我的拖鞋上 它居然就这样走过来躺下了！怎么可以这么随便！我的拖鞋不是你想睡 想睡就能睡的！后来又一只狗走向了美国男 这只狗不断地朝他裤裆钻 他很不好意思地推开那狗 那狗拼命钻 后来他站了起来 然后我身旁的狗扑向了那条狗 貌似要打起来了 然后美国男说 它们在争地盘 于是我们走开了 我们决定尝试走去旁边的coco beach 走了很长的一段路 进入了一片森林 我被蚊子侵袭了 于是我们还是原来折回了 啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊 痒死我了 痒了几天！

coco beach森林路上的小屋

14号早上 我决定至少等24小时才决定潜不潜水 于是早上我和教练他娘去big la laguna浮潜了 那天浮潜真的很棒！我们看到了puffer fish, pipe fish, crown fish, angelfish等等常见的鱼类 还看到了eel 我们看到的时候 都大叫 为什么不带相机来！正当我们小心走出沙滩的时候 carol突然向我跳来 我说什么 然后我看到她那边有一条banded sea snake向我游来 我kao 我闪开了 这是一条剧毒无比的海蛇 不过幸好的是我们都穿着潜水鞋 蛇咬不进 如果被咬一口 基本上就一命呜呼了 我们惊讶的同时还是在悔恨为什么没有带相机！！！

经过这个下午的浮潜之后 我还可以在附近浮潜 而且我还能喝酒！ 我决定等够48小时 我也许可以在这48小时多潜6潜 但这6潜是否比自己的安全更重要？答案是否定的 没错 我也许继续潜水也不会发生什么事 但有时就是小小的疏忽而造成严重的潜水事故

下午我，mike和carol三人去floating bar附近浮潜 水有点深 能见度不太高 我穿了wetsuit 但没带铅块 所以潜不下去 虽然带了相机 但没怎么拍照
