Yes. There's a vast array of choices to choose from, you can scuba-dive in a fresh water lake, in a sea with shipwreck, and you can also try to dive in an estuary. Many companies offer different kinds of scuba diving sites. i purchased the shipwreck and the barracuda lake diving sites. Before you go to the diving sites, you will have to undergo lectures and demonstration on how to use the gear, communicate under the sea and what to do in cases of emergencies.
It was my first time to experience scuba diving. At first i was afraid, but as i swam deeper, i looked at scuba diving as a privilege. Not all people experience and see this one of a kind view in the sea. I saw different kinds of fish, i let them eat the snails by crushing the snail's shells.
As we swam deeper, i thought i'm going to lose some air,but i was wrong, my tank is full of oxygen and i can feel the cold air entering my throat. Easy, i told my self. So, I focused on the fishes, the ship, the live corals. It was so alive under the sea. Very colorful and everything is in order.
After our 1st diving site, it rained hard- i felt like i'm in the midst of the studio.the water was calm,but the rain was so heavy. Fog, wind plus noisy drops of water to add in my studio-rain experience. then, we went to the barracuda lake. It took us an hour to reach the lake,by that time, it wasn't raining anymore. The lake is popular for the great barracuda. It is a fish that eats human flesh, a carnivore. Scary. I know right! We took our scuba suits off leaving our bathing suit on because they say, the temperature can go as high as 40*C. So, i'm excited. In the surface water, the temperature is not too cold and not too hot. We swam deeper, and deeper and deeper. The temperature changed. The fishes above is not the same below. The fishes were transparent, smaller, and i was thinking at the back of my mind, the barracuda might show up anytime. It's getting darker and i can see things happening in the water, it was like an oil mixing up with water. It was really scary down there. We also saw some holes in the rocks. Maybe the barracuda is hiding there somewhere. Unlike in the shipwreck site which is colorful, the barracuda lake offers another view. It's quiet and dark.
It's time to go up. 20 minutes is over. So we have to do Valsalva maneuver to get rid of pressure problems. :) yes!! And finally, i did it! It was such a privilege that God let me experienced this in Coron :)
