| Lak Bay at 40 feet Under The Sea |
Edwin aka Lak Bay is an irony. Take his "Diva" title for example. We call someone a diva if he is a primadonna who wants all the attention to himself. Very much unlike Lak Bay whom friends say is a very shy and unassuming person.
Rather than "divA", "divE" is more appropriate for this multi-awarded Cebuano travel blogger for has that insatiable thirst to be underwater. Last year, he has dived almost once a week, in fact he spent more time traveling underwater than traveling on the road. His diving adventures in Gilutongan Channel, Pescador Island and Moalboal to name a few, are testaments to his love for the sea and those beautiful creatures living on it. And we should count ourselves lucky for Lak Bay is unselfishly sharing his underwater adventures thru awesome photographs and stories in his blog www.lakbaydiva.com.
When asked to describe the above photo, our Lakbay Diva has this to say: “We are but one with the ocean. Nothing can get cooler than this. Literally. At 40 feet.”
Well, we believe you Edwin, for if there is a travel blogger who knows how it feels to be deep under the sea, it would definitely be you.
I've only done diving like this once when I was in Mexico and it was fascinating, beautiful and exciting!! Would love to do it again. Fun post for the day, Oman! I always enjoy visiting your blog!! Thanks for sharing and for commenting on mine as well! Hope you are enjoying a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia, I always enjoy seeing your comment in my blog. Really appreciate it. I am not fond of diving so I thank guys like Lak Bay for showing to us views from under the sea :)
DeleteI'm back :) lols! And I guess I've bee missing few entries or so I thought.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm catching up now hehe
Diving reminded me of my childhood until teener days, My cousins and I frequent the nearby sea to splash in and dive at about 20 feet without underwater gears - that's how "tapang" we are - wild and care-free noon. Unafraid of the danger that the lack of gears would bring. Pero, God never puts us in danger though.
At ang swerte naman ang travel blogger friend mo kasi he has the ample time to do just that. I've been missing to plummet under the sea with our "pana" to hunt for fish. I wish I can do it once I had the opportunity to go back to my ancestral house in our province.
I remember to do dives only if being dared to and if I will have no choice because all my company is doing it. I am not really fond of the underwater because I easily lose my breath. Kaya I really applaud those who do this things like Lak Bay.
DeletePero pag snorkel ok sakin like what I did in Coron :)
Selfie underwater. Wow. Wait Selfie way way down underwater. Double wow.
ReplyDeleteHi Vinzent. Galing nya no?
DeleteI always want to try deep sea diving. I should get tips from this guy.
ReplyDeleteYou should Uno, Lak Bay is one of the few travel bloggers I know who has done this hundreds of times.
Deleteeeeee!!! thanks for the feature oman! :)
ReplyDeleteThe pleasure is all mine Lak Bay :)
DeleteGrabe, hanggang swimming pool lang ako nagdidive. Takot ako sa ilalim ng dagat eh ;p
ReplyDeleteno need to be afraid, vanessa ;) dati takot na takot talaga ako sa blue, lalo na sa reef wall. when i faced this fear, masarap na xa balik balikan ehehehe...
DeleteAyan Vanessa, paturo ka kay Lak Bay, matututo ka agad kasi magaling sumisid yan :)
DeleteLooks like a great life under water!
ReplyDeleteindeed it is! i could only start to describe, but not completely ;)
DeleteI'm sure given more time, Lak Bay can describe life under water completely and with impunity.
DeleteI would love to learn to scuba dive, it's something I've always wanted to try.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Lakbay's blog and you will learn a thing or two about scuba diving. :)
DeleteThey say that the world below is more beautiful than the world at land. Hope to experience this someday.
ReplyDeleteBased on the shots of Lak Bay underwater, I would say that it is true Zen :)
DeleteWhen Lak Bay is featured online, all I remember is his "Shine Bright Like a Diamond" video. lol. selfie underwater ayos!
ReplyDeletewhaaattt???? how can i get out of that stigma? ahahahahaha....
DeleteHaha Ed, nasaan ba yung link ng video na yan? Share haha.
