David and I have spent months exploring PNG and Indonesia. The Philippines was always in front of us on a map, in our conversations at the DEMA Show, and talked about by colleagues. It was rocketing to the top of many conservation organizations\u2019 coral and fish counts. Despite all of that, we were late arrivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2007 we needed to make an image of a clownfish guarding its eggs for a story going to deadline. On advice from Scott \u201cGutsy\u201d Tuason, I arranged a Philippines stopover for David to spend two days diving in Anilao. David was skeptical the picture would happen, but on the first dive he captured the image that had eluded him for decades. Welcome to the Philippines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maju cepat ke tahun 2012, ketika kami berada di Antartika. Hubungan abadi kami dengan Filipina dimulai di es kutub di atas kapal&nbsp;<em>Penjelajah National Geographic<\/em>. Seorang anggota kru senior Filipina yang bersemangat datang ke rumah kami untuk memberitahukan bahwa ada rombongan dari Manila yang akan bergabung dengan kami dan meminta kami untuk menjadi diri kami yang terbaik. Alasan di balik kunjungan yang tidak biasa ini akhirnya terungkap: Rombongan itu adalah sekelompok penyelam berpengalaman yang datang untuk melihat Antartika, tetapi juga ingin mengundang kami untuk menyelam di Filipina.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They spread prepared maps on chart tables as we scribbled in notebooks about where, when, and why. We had Anilao for macro, wild Tubbataha, Malapascua\u2019s threshers, and Moalboal\u2019s sardines. There was Bohol, Coron\u2019s World War II wrecks and dugongs, Donsol, Dumaguete, Cagayancillo, Apo Island Marine Sanctuary (not to be confused with Apo Reef Natural Park), and Verde Island Passage, known for its infamous currents and record-shattering fish counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kami meninggalkan es dengan undangan untuk bergabung dengan kelompok tersebut untuk perjalanan tahunan mereka ke Tubbataha ketika jadwal kami memungkinkan. Dua tahun kemudian, dengan tugas-tugas yang tertunda di belakang kami, kami menjadi serius tentang pitching cerita dan membutuhkan seseorang yang lebih dekat dengan zona waktu kami untuk membantu merencanakan jalur melalui labirin yang terdiri dari sekitar 7.641 pulau ini. Kami menghubungi penyelam dan fotografer asal Chicago, Lynn Funkhouser, yang pergi ke Filipina untuk misi medis pada tahun 1975 dan menemukan wilayah yang benar-benar memikatnya. Dia menjadi duta laut Filipina melalui perwakilan dan kembali selama 45 tahun berturut-turut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-ultimate-wilderness\">Hutan Belantara Terbaik<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dengan proposal artikel Filipina kami yang diterima di bawah judul kerja&nbsp;<em>Sebuah Negara Karang<\/em>, we began in Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The country\u2019s coral crown jewel in the heart of the Sulu Sea protects two remote coral atolls and one reef.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tubbataha\u2019s North and South Atoll and Jessie Beazley Reef rise in blue water, creating a coral outpost that attracts everything: reef fish, sea turtles, patrolling sharks, mantas, whale sharks, and the country\u2019s vitally important last major sea bird rookery. A team of rangers patrols the isolated park year-round, because it\u2019s a tempting target for illegal fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Akhirnya kami dapat menerima undangan Antartika mereka, kami bergabung dengan Tet Lara, Marissa Floriendo, Patsy Zobel, Vina Concepcion, dan Skeet, si anjing golden retriever dalam perjalanan ke-20 mereka ke perairan ini. Kami mampir ke tempat yang populer&nbsp;<strong>Black Rock<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Malayan Wreck<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Bandara Hiu<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Ko-ok<\/strong>dan&nbsp;<strong>Mencuci<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Mesin<\/strong>&nbsp;dan kami bertemu dengan pengawas penangkaran di dekat Bird Islet untuk mengetahui pentingnya populasi burung yang semakin menyusut ini bagi negara Filipina.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saya dapat menjelaskan setiap lokasi penyelaman secara rinci, tetapi akan lebih berguna untuk berbagi satu penyelaman di&nbsp;<strong>Delsan<\/strong>&nbsp;on South Atoll. We rolled off and flew across coral meadows as we passed school-bus-sized clouds of jacks. At the drop-off we noticed Tet and Marissa\u2019s lights searching knowingly below us until the beam settled on five large marble rays floating gently above a forest of whip corals. I lingered with the rays as their team moved on. Sensing an incoming presence, I turned to my left to see a determined tiger shark approaching. I raised the camera, the strobes flashed, and the annoyed tiger vanished into blue nothingness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pertunjukan di kedalaman selesai, saya naik ke lereng dan melihat bahwa saya berada di jalur yang tepat untuk bertemu dengan hiu paus. Karena kehabisan waktu dan udara, saya menuju tempat pemberhentian yang dangkal, di mana saya mendapati David sedang fokus pada sekelompok penyu sisik yang tersebar. Semua aktivitas itu terjadi hanya dalam waktu 90 menit di Tubbataha.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Q1_101_-Philippines.jpg\" alt=\"ikan cornetfish membayangi seekor ikan wrasse\" class=\"wp-image-24358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Q1_101_-Philippines.jpg 800w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Q1_101_-Philippines-360x183.jpg 360w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Q1_101_-Philippines-768x390.jpg 768w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Q1_101_-Philippines-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A cornetfish shadows a wrasse as it weaves through a forest of garden eels feeding on plankton off Dauin, Negros Island.\n\u00a9JENNIFER HAYES AND DAVID DOUBILET<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anilao<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kami meninggalkan Tubbataha dan bertemu dengan Lynn Funkhauser dan pembuat film Leandro Blanco di Anilao. Provinsi Batangas adalah tempat kelahiran penyelaman Filipina dan kiblat bagi para fotografer makro yang mengharapkan pasokan subjek yang tak ada habisnya: gurita dan teropong bintang,&nbsp;<em>Rhinopias<\/em>&nbsp;ikan kalajengking dalam berbagai warna, anemon, ikan badut dengan telur dalam berbagai tahap perkembangan, dan botol berisi ikan goby. Perhatikan semuanya karena kemungkinan ada makhluk yang menyewa tempat tersebut.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sangat konyol untuk mencoba membuat daftar apa saja yang mungkin Anda temukan, karena Anda dapat menemukan apa saja, termasuk fotografer Gutsy Tuason dan Mike Bartick, yang baru-baru ini ditampilkan dalam&nbsp;<em>Alert Diver<\/em>. Itu seharusnya memberi tahu siapa pun semua yang perlu mereka ketahui tentang mengapa harus pergi ke Anilao.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apa yang ada di bawahnya\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Put simply, Verde Island Passage is legendary. Its currents and fish counts result in its frequent designation as the center of the world\u2019s marine biodiversity. The passage, a strait between Luzon and Mindoro, is the main shipping approach to Manila and Subic Bay. This is one of David\u2019s favorite places to dive. \u201cThe reef does not just vibrate with life,\u201d he said, \u201cit sings like an opera in the sea.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blizzards of orange and yellow anthias, flocks of vampire triggerfish, jacks, barracuda, and rivers of convict blennies spill across the reef. Its acronym \u2014 VIP \u2014 is proper for this priceless coral corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_76_-philippines.jpg\" alt=\"hiu perontok\" class=\"wp-image-24065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_76_-philippines.jpg 800w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_76_-philippines-360x239.jpg 360w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_76_-philippines-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_76_-philippines-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A shy thresher shark approaches cautiously and hovers briefly above a cleaning station on Monad Shoal off Malapascua. \n\u00a9JENNIFER HAYES AND DAVID DOUBILET<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_75_-philippines.jpg\" alt=\"Matahari terbenam memancarkan cahaya keemasan di perairan dangkal yang kaya akan terumbu karang\" class=\"wp-image-24066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_75_-philippines.jpg 800w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_75_-philippines-360x239.jpg 360w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_75_-philippines-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_75_-philippines-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sunset casts a golden glow across the coral-rich shallows on North Atoll in Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park.\n\u00a9JENNIFER HAYES AND DAVID DOUBILET<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"532\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_102_-philippines.jpg\" alt=\"ikan tanpa sadar melayang di atas pengamat bintang yang benar-benar diam menunggu untuk menyergap\" class=\"wp-image-24064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_102_-philippines.jpg 532w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_102_-philippines-239x360.jpg 239w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_102_-philippines-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A small fish unknowingly drifts over an absolutely still stargazer waiting to ambush an evening meal off Anilao. \n\u00a9JENNIFER HAYES AND DAVID DOUBILET<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dumaguete<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kami tiba di wilayah Visayas Tengah setelah banyak fotografer yang dengan setia kembali untuk menjelajahi jalan-jalan pasir, terumbu karang yang ramai, dan Cagar Alam Laut Pulau Apo yang berada di dekatnya. David mengetahui tentang koloni besar belut taman tidak jauh dari pusat penyelaman. Belut-belut ini terkenal pemalu dan akan menghilang ke dalam liangnya jika Anda melirik ke arahnya. David yang berfokus pada laser meninjau kembali teknik vintage tahun 1971 yang ia kembangkan untuk mengambil gambar makhluk-makhluk ini di Laut Merah bersama Eugenie Clark. Foto belut taman Laut Merah adalah foto pertamanya yang diterbitkan di National Geographic, jadi memotret koloni ini terasa seperti pulang kampung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kami menjelajahi koloni untuk memilih lokasi kamera jarak jauh. Saya menemukan sebuah batu seukuran rumah Seacam kami dan meninggalkannya di tempat yang nantinya akan kami tempatkan kamera sehingga belut dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan penyusup di tengah-tengah mereka. Keesokan paginya kami menukar batu itu dengan rumah dan memasang kabel pemicu di belakang terumbu buatan. Kami membiarkan belut-belut itu sendirian sementara kami memotret sebuah perahu yang tenggelam dan dipenuhi ikan lele belang. Saat kami kembali, koloni itu berdiri tegak, bergoyang dan memakan plankton dalam arus. Kami mengamati dan menunggu saat-saat yang tidak biasa, dan tanpa aba-aba, seekor ikan wrasse berenang melintasi taman, diikuti oleh seekor ikan kornet. Keduanya berlomba melintasi taman tanpa ada satu pun belut yang bergeming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moalboal, Cebu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other sardine runs around the world, Moalboal\u2019s sardine shoal, a few kicks from Panagsama Beach, is a year-round phenomenon. Millions of sardines create schools dense enough to obscure the sun unless you have a freediver buddy making shafts of light through the living canopy. While swimming the coral ledge beneath the school, I passed two slumbering sea turtles that I hoped would wake and rise toward the cloud of sardines above, but they did not. I moved on, keeping one eye on the turtles when the other eye noticed a well-camouflaged frogfish the size of my housing lurking in the shadows. I was sizing up a photograph when the apparent rock beside my subject walked away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Malapascua, Cebu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Malapascua is one place on this planet to somewhat reliably encounter thresher sharks. A thresher dive begins with a 4 a.m. briefing and a dark boat ride to the Monad Shoal cleaning stations. You descend without strobes in the predawn light and wait behind ropes designed to provide the ultra-shy sharks with a comfortable approach to their cleaning station. This is a place to exercise patience \u2014 they can appear like ghosts at the edge of your vision, not appear at all, or break off an approach for reasons only they know. A shark encounter is not guaranteed; a solid shark encounter means you saw one, and a great shark encounter may require a few days or just plain luck. Seeing them on their terms and leaving with a few solid frames was rewarding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hari tanpa hiu bukanlah hari yang sia-sia di Malapascua. David dan Gutsy menghabiskan waktu berjam-jam di Pulau Cokelat untuk mengisi kartu digital dengan cumi-cumi ekor buntut,&nbsp;<em>Rhinopias<\/em>, mating flamboyant cuttlefish, and snake eels. They spent enough time in the water to annoy a boat captain used to a 60-minute dive. Unfortunately, you\u2019ll sometimes hear an odd, hard-to-describe zapping sound in the background. The noise is from distant bomb fishing. Chances are high that you will stumble across evidence of the illegal practice here and in other locations in the Philippines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pulau Oslob dan Sumilon, Cebu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulau Sumilon adalah kawasan konservasi laut pertama yang didirikan di Filipina. Di sana kami menjelajahi apa yang dapat dilakukan topan terhadap terumbu karang. Kami turun ke terumbu karang yang hampir kosong dan tumbang akibat tersapu Topan Super Haiyan pada tahun 2013. Di sebuah tikungan, kami akhirnya melihat seperti apa harapan itu: Seekor anemon telah menemukan jalan ke atas pilar karang yang mati, dan seekor ikan anemon telah menemukan jalan ke anemon tersebut. Saya berhenti dan menatap sepasang penjajah ini, sadar bahwa saya sedang melihat terumbu karang yang sedang dalam perjalanan untuk hidup kembali.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oslob, sebuah desa di seberang selat dari Pulau Sumilon, menjadi pusat kontroversi yang berkepanjangan. Desa ini menjadi hidup ketika penduduk setempat menuju ke cadik mereka, mempersiapkan ratusan wisatawan yang akan datang saat fajar dengan membawa uang untuk mengamati, snorkeling, atau menyelam bersama hiu paus. Kami tiba lebih awal dengan perahu dan menyaksikan hiu-hiu itu meluncur dari segala arah, menyesuaikan waktu kedatangan mereka dengan para tamu. Raksasa-raksasa lembut yang luar biasa ini datang untuk bersaing memperebutkan posisi utama di bawah tangan-tangan yang terulur penuh dengan krill yang menarik perhatian mereka seperti kucing yang tertarik pada catnip. Para pendayung mendayung para turis yang bersemangat, gugup, dan berteriak-teriak dalam satu lingkaran, menjaga agar hiu dan pawang krill tetap berada di tengah-tengah kekacauan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mereka yang mendukung gaya wisata hiu paus ini berpendapat bahwa hiu adalah duta lautan yang menginspirasi kesadaran dan hubungan dengan laut, serta menyediakan pendapatan yang sangat dibutuhkan untuk pendidikan, perumahan, dan kesehatan. Para ilmuwan, lembaga swadaya masyarakat, dan peneliti menawarkan argumen tandingan bahwa pemberian makanan harian mengubah perilaku, rute migrasi musiman, strategi reproduksi, dan memengaruhi kondisi tubuh mereka secara keseluruhan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the truly whale shark obsessed diver, other locations in the Philippines offer encounters on the sharks\u2019 terms: Tubbataha (April to June), Donsol (January to May), and Leyte (November to May).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_80_-philippines.jpg\" alt=\"Ikan lele berjajar\" class=\"wp-image-24069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_80_-philippines.jpg 800w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_80_-philippines-360x239.jpg 360w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_80_-philippines-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_80_-philippines-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lined catfish like these in Dauin are very social and move together across the sea bottom while always touching. \n\u00a9JENNIFER HAYES AND DAVID DOUBILET<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_81_-philippines.jpg\" alt=\"Seekor hiu paus menghirup krill\" class=\"wp-image-24070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_81_-philippines.jpg 800w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_81_-philippines-360x239.jpg 360w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_81_-philippines-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_81_-philippines-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A whale shark inhales frozen krill from a tourist in Oslob. \n\u00a9JENNIFER HAYES AND DAVID DOUBILET<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_82_-philippines.jpg\" alt=\"Penyu sisik\" class=\"wp-image-24071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_82_-philippines.jpg 800w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_82_-philippines-360x239.jpg 360w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_82_-philippines-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_82_-philippines-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A hawksbill turtle feeding in the shallows off South Atoll in Tubbataha looked up and became obsessed with its reflection in the camera dome.\n\u00a9JENNIFER HAYES AND DAVID DOUBILET<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_83_-philippines.jpg\" alt=\"Burung booby coklat beristirahat di atas karang saat air laut pasang\" class=\"wp-image-24072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_83_-philippines.jpg 800w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_83_-philippines-360x239.jpg 360w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_83_-philippines-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/q1_83_-philippines-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brown booby birds rest on coral in a rising tide.

He then broke the news with the dreaded phrase, \u201cYou should have been here last week.\u201d David winced when Dirk told us that the visibility had dropped to inches the day before our arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next morning our bangka motored through calm seas to distant seagrass beds. Dugongs are shy, some more than others; with low to no visibility, our guide, Omar, wanted to locate a friendly one. He stopped the boat in a few places, stared into a sand-colored sea, and finally said, \u201cJust here, straight down.\u201d There was no indication that any air-breathing mammal was within miles, let alone 15 feet (4,6 meters) below us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saya mengenakan tank dan meluncur, dengan tenang langsung turun ke bawah di mana dia bilang saya akan melihat seekor dugong. Jarak pandang saya membaik menjadi sekitar 2 kaki (0,61 meter). Saya berpikir bahwa ini adalah latihan yang sia-sia karena saya tenggelam dalam keheningan sampai saya mendengar suara sayup-sayup seperti sekop yang sedang mengeruk pasir. Seekor duyung yang sedang memakan tangkai lamun muncul beberapa inci di bawah sirip saya, membuat saya harus menyesuaikan arah dengan hati-hati. Saya lebih banyak mendengar dan melihat daripada memotret dan membiarkan keajaiban momen itu meresap ke dalam jiwa saya. Terima kasih, Omar Lingansan; saya tumbuh hari itu.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was one more surprise. Dirk asked if we wanted to join him to see a recent discovery: a Japanese Nakajima Hayabusa plane \u2014 the most intact wreck of its kind \u2014 resting in 131 feet (40 meters) of water. We left at sunrise and descended through early dawn light to a rare and unexpected look into World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anda Dibutuhkan di Filipina<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Philippine Commission on Sports Scuba Diving is committed to strengthening and promoting dive tourism.
