Waking up to our last day of diving in Tofo Beach and we almost have to pinch ourselves. It is another beautiful sunrise over the Indian Ocean, with the sound of the waves gently breaking on the beach just in front of our chalet, and still one more day of diving to go. Yes, we had heard the stories, had seen the photos and watched the DVDs, but until we were here it was hard for us to believe it could be true. But here we were - one week of diving behind us and already we had had close encounters with more than seventy Manta Rays and twelve Whale Sharks!

Sitting down with a nice cup of coffee we still cannot believe what we have experienced today. A little more than half a day of diving lies behind us. Not a normal dive day, no, diving with Tiger Sharks is diving in a different way. You either enjoy or fear these enormous animals. We were to found that out ourselves this day. Family and friends thought we had gone crazy. Tiger Sharks are well known as agressive animals. And we were going to dive with them in open sea. Completely stupid they declared us.

Already for a lot of years divers go to the Philippines. And for sure, diving in the Philippines has many different faces. In this enormous country you can enjoy your dive holiday in many ways. We have chosen this time to visit a dive resort on the island Negros: Pura Vida. This island in the Visayas area of the Philippines offers many possibilities of enjoying the under water life.

Diving the Cenotes in Mexico.

The soil in the north of the Mexican peninsula of Yucatan consists of limestone. Characteristic of these soils is the fact that it is very porous. The soil can not hold the rainwater. For centuries long rainwater seeped through the porous limestone. In this way underground tunnels and caves with stalactites arose. When the seawater rised these caves were flooded. We all know the feeling of walking into a cave. But float between the stalactites is truly an experience you do not want to miss.
