Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte: 2015 Year-End Dive 1

posted on Monday, December 28, 2015

As Ling and I were thinking of a 2015 year-end dive destination, Sogod Bay in Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte came on top of our list. It was a long overdue trip as our flight to Tacloban got cancelled in November 2013 due to typhoon Haiyan. No typhoon can stop us this time though and we were beyond excited to end the year in one of the Philippines’ unspoiled diving destination.

We stayed in Sogod Bay Scuba Resort and availed of their special diving package. The package cost of P21,000 includes a 3-night Ocean View cottage, a total of 12 dives and breakfast for 2 pax.

Did 6 dives---two of which were spent in Napantao North and South dive sites, the oldest marine sanctuary in Sogod Bay. Was able to use my wide-angle fisheye lens! Ling and I were both satisfied with the wide-angle camera setting I used during the dives. Napantao’s amazing reef was just the perfect subject. So happy to see a white tip reef shark inside its cave!

For bookings, you can contact Sogod Bay Scuba Resort’s Reservation Officer, Annalyn Tinio, at this number: 0916-376-0064.

Certified as a PADI rescue diver. Got my first compact camera in 2011. I was simply content then to just capture a glimpse of what I see during my dives. It was only last February 2014 that I fully maximized the use of manual macro settings.

My camera skills and knowledge are still a work in progress. Enjoy browsin’!
