Wakatobi, here we come

Last Day of Diving in the Philippines
No words. Just photos.

April 29 More diving at the north atoll. There are many, many boats plying the Tabbataha area. We were told 14 this week. So even though I‘m pretty sure the boats coordinate where each is going to be each day, … Continue reading
