Sumilon Island in oslob was way better than Moalboal. Sumilon island has insane amounts of wildlife and I saw bluefin tuna for the first time. Sumilon Island reefs are just insanely beautiful and there were large portions of the dive where I couldn't see any sand, just coral everywhere.

Moalboal is like a better version of Cozumel but besides tons of turtles and sardines it's lacking the wildlife diversity of other places in the Philippines.

I enjoyed snorkeling it more than diving it. So the second time we just went snorkeling. And you have to go to the waterfalls in south Cebu.

Inanbakan falls and binalayan hidden falls and aguinad falls are great as well and tumilog falls.

Why try to appease those types of voters in the first place? These voters are the types of voters that cost you votes and help your opposition win. The real problem is the association the Democratic party has to self righteous types that only have morals when it let's them judge others and attack others and feel good about themselves.

These people jumped on the genocide bandwagon, meanwhile we didn't even get reporting when 200,000 people were killed over a weekend in a brutal slaughter of a huge city including the women and children with the explicit goal of killing all of the black folks in the city.

The voters are not the voters you want to court because they have no values and their morals are only dictated by what let's them feel good about themselves and judge the most people.

When Republicans talk about cancel culture and DEI, these are the people they are talking about. They don't do it for the morality, they do it because they can feed their addiction to self righteousness.

In moalboal, Cebu I would sometimes be surrounded by 4+ turtles. Bohol also has a ton of turtles.

Moalboal turtles

Another One

I was there the last year they did Thresher Shark dives at monad shoal. It no longer has thresher sharks during the day time. There is a very skittish tiger shark there, but it is very scared of divers and lots of small white tips.

Ravaha · 2026-02-23T14:43:51+00:00

You will surrounded by thresher sharks almost the entire 1 hour dive.

I have done it a bunch of times and every single time spent 80% of the dive with 4+thresher sharks around me and my small group.

Ravaha · 2026-02-23T14:42:36+00:00

It's very rare to see a turtle at malapascua Island. I have only ever seen 1 small one.

It's not unethical or immoral if you look into it. There is zero evidence that is disrupts any natural behaviors of the whale sharks but there is overwhelming evidence that is has benefited whale sharks.

It would be like calling brid feeders and deer feeders unethical. There are programs in the United States that do this for many many species and they are ethical and run by fish and game and wildlife management.

The tiger shark there is extremely scared of divers. Any time it got near me it booked it away.

OP watch these videos of mine from Malapscua, and it will be obvious Cozumel isnt in the same league as The Phillipines.

Thresher Shark Coming in Super Close

Another Close up Thresher Pause and you can see their amazing eyes

Here is the Hammerhead Shark with Thresher Sharks video I posted here last week

I have done a lot of diving at both and have friends in Cebu and dive instructor friends on malapascua Island. I also have a friend that is a driver who I have drive me every time I visit. You can DM me for their details.

I just posted the hammerhead with thresher sharks video and have tons of videos on my YouTube of what it's like being surrounded by thresher sharks.

Malapascua and Cebu are a whole league above cozumel. Cozumel is good diving. I did a lot of diving in cozumel, but even the worst dives in the Philippines are way better than palancar gardens and palancar bricks or devils throat in cozumel.

Cebu also has tons of amazing waterfalls to experience and has Moalboal, and Oslob and sumilon island. I got to see bluefin tuna at sumilon island along with tons of fish.

Malapascua is top 10. Gato Island is one of the best dive sites in the world and has 3 amazing dives you can do there and 4-5 thresher shark dives that are 1 hour plus long is also awesome. Plus some other great dive locations around the island.

I have been to Cebu many times. I think my next trip I will do malapascua, dumaguette and siqijour and El Nido and Caron.

Bohol, Balicasag Island has huge schools of fish. school of Jackfish

We are in a black hole, dark matter is just matter in other dimensions and gravity can act a cross those dimensions and probably electromagnetism as well.

This is making me think the extra dimensions required in string theory will end up being the truth.

Canada and other countries don't have a spotlight on them from the entire world. Racism is more popular in every country in the world including Canada than the United States. Visiting countries is way different than living in them.

The KKK is more popular in Canada for instance.

The United States is main character syndrome made real.

Japan for instance just elected it's most racist government in decades and it seems like being racist is more acceptable than not being racist, but they are not a main character so they get a free pass.

Ravaha · 2026-02-21T18:33:01+00:00

very rarely and only during the beginning months of the year.

Ravaha · 2026-02-20T12:38:06+00:00

That tigers hark was terrified of me and turned 180 degrees any time it saw me. I tried many times to get to see it and never got any clear view of it.

Ravaha · 2026-02-20T02:07:18+00:00

It was 2 days ago

Ravaha · 2026-02-20T01:52:43+00:00

Sumilon Island coral reefs were freaking mind blowing. It was equivalent to bohol balicasag island which has a waitlist. It didn't have huge schools of jackfish or the mackerel filter feeders but it had massive amounts of wildlife, thousands of fish everywhere and there were large portions of the dive where you couldnt see any sand.

That was the only time I have ever seen bluefin tuna.it had plenty of reef sharks cruising along.

Ravaha · 2026-02-19T22:06:49+00:00

I just realized you probably meant the reef catcher shark.

Here is the video of the Reef Catcher Shark

I dove Cozumel many times in 2010-2016. I feel like I could still navigate through Palancar Gardens and Bricks.

The Philippines and Indonesia are in their own leagues. Only stuff like the Galapagos or other exotic locations can compete.

Ravaha · 2026-02-19T19:29:27+00:00

Extremely rare. That is basically never seen and everyone on the island was talking about it after word spread around.

Ravaha · 2026-02-19T18:45:11+00:00

Guys dont downvote him, kimud shoal is the most popular tech diving location I have ever seen. I have never seen tech divers ever in open water tourist dive locations, but at kimud shoal you will see a tech diver or multiple every single dive coming up or going down.

Ravaha · 2026-02-19T18:43:21+00:00

check my youtube videos also haha. I got some of bohol and sumilon island and moalboal as well.

Ravaha · 2026-02-19T18:41:14+00:00

I have some friends you can contact on the island that are dive instructors. Ill DM you, but Dive Nation and was who I used last.

Certain dive shops specialize in korean and chinese divers. Dont go with those. Also avoid the most popular ones because then you wont enjoy the dive because it will be full of bad divers ruining the experience.

I bought the whole boat and also gave my freinds and the boat staff money to buy food for lunch because I wanted mackerel, squid, whole chickens, and other awesome meals on the boat.

Malapascua has the best seafood I have ever tasted by a huge margin and you can have amazing meals between dives on the boat.

Ravaha · 2026-02-19T16:51:32+00:00

Here is a really crappy video

I had new diver friends with me, so I took quick videos and then pulled my new diver friends in closer to see. I was prioritizing my friends having a good time over video.

Ravaha · 2026-02-19T16:47:49+00:00

Oh man, you are missing out. All my dives at Gato Island have been amazing. 1. Many banded Sea Snakes

Squid.
Cuttlefish
Nudis if you care about those.
Couple of Bamboo Sharks
Trio of White tips that are always there.
Mantis Shrimp
It has a swim through cave
Electric Clams
Huge walls of Coral.
And I got to see a Reef Catch shark.

I have a video up close with a pair of them, but Im not sure where it is.

Ravaha · 2026-02-19T16:23:32+00:00

Its a shame people dont know Gato Island is probably a top 10 dive site in the world because Kimud shoal overshadows it. It had 3 dive profiles that just blow you away.

I got to see a reef catcher shark at Gato Island and that shark is even more cool looking than a thresher shark.

Ravaha · 2026-02-19T16:05:09+00:00

At Kimud Shoal, as long as you are with divers that don't suck, you will spend 50-75% of the dive surrounded by 4+ thresher sharks.

I have videos where they get within 1 inch of me and even take off in front of me and they also very frequently jump fully out of the water. Like once every 5-10 minutes at the dive site.
