Had a great time doing a drift dive at Hole in the wall (Puerto Galera). The moderate current made bite through one side of my regulator's mouth piece! It was really trying to get my reg off my mouth!

my dive buddy got urchin'd three minutes a night dive. I didn't notice it. BAD BUDDY. hahaha



Saw 50 turtles (of course there would have been repeats but we went diving on 9 different spots). We saw turtles on 8. Pescador had zero turtles.

Here's a prenup video of a Dive Instructor friend of mine and his diver fiancee (now wife). Cool concept.
