What would you guys like to see videos of next? I was planning to create longer videos and was thinking of combining a few short videos into a single 5 minute or so long one showing different species of butterflyfish I followed while diving here in Thailand. Or does anyone have a better idea?

Heres the latest video:

Hey, not sure if you guys would be interested or not, but im going to start posting videos traveling around Thailand and of course my Philippines trip. Im almost done editing the first video which will show my friend and I traveling to the island of Koh Samet where we spent a few days last month. Since editing should be finished by tomorrow, itll be posted next week at the latest but I probably wont be posting it here since its not as dive oriented as my other videos.

This was my first time diving The Philippines (my first day of several actually) and I wanted to share a few pictures of the more than 100 I took today. If you want to see videos of schools of hundreds of fish and other reef creatures, I uploaded the videos to YouTube and added the links here.

Tomorrow I'll be diving Balicasag, one of the most beautiful reefs in The Philippines and uploading more videos. Only 150 divers are allowed to dive there per day if I'm not mistaken.

I can't swim, too! I can't stay afloat in freshwater. In saltwater though, I can somewhat float but prefer to snorkel with a life vest.

I took a chance with my 1st scuba dive in 2022 in the Philippines and now I go diving every time I travel there. It is called a Discovery dive or a beginner's dive. You go through some of the basics of scuba diving, especially safety. You are paired with a licensed master diver as your guide. The first time, my guide even controlled my buoyancy and the deepest I dove to check out corals was less than 10 meters.

If that's too much for you, then I suggest going snorkeling with a life vest. I also did this in El Nido, Puerta Princessa, and other neighboring islands of Palawan back in 2018. The less traveled beaches have thriving reefs you can view from 3 meters or less just floating above them.

I just came back from a recent vacation there and did 2 scuba dives under 15 meters at Mactan, Cebu as well as some snorkeling in Oslob, Moal Boal, and Siargao. I should post some pics and videos, too. Though I'm not a professional like @LovinlifeinGuam.
