Diving in the Philippines

We are so excited! We are now qualified PADI divers. Awesome!!!

Our instructor was wonderful and really taught us well. Karin Timmel. 

We've been to Batangas for a few dive trips already, all of them wonderful. I'll name the various dive sites below for those who are interested in diving. For those of you who aren't into diving, I hope you'll skip the writing and just enjoy the underwater pics.

This was our first open water dive. It was at the house reef of Bambu Villa and Resort. As a spot for completing your qualifying dives it was lovely, but I would definitely recommend Dive & Trek's house reef across the bay as another great dive site to do your first few dives. More to come on this dive site later.

Just a quick one about Christmas. Clearly Christmas in the Philippines is celebrated in a huge way! Check out the decorations in the streets around our building and the moving reindeer in the shopping centre over the road. 

Apparently Brad's office has already started with Christmas decorations all over the show.
