Dive #80, Zach's Cove, Southern Leyte, Philippines

OK THIS IS WHAT DIVING IS ALL ABOUT! So fellow diver, u have spent 2000,- for flights, another 2000,- for equipment, spent trmemendous amounts of time planning and organising, and you are wondering if it's REALLY worth of all the hussle?

HELL YEAH!

Zach’s Cove offers something different, and challenging. Its sheer drop-off sometimes exceeds 180 ft and as we made our descent, we noticed an abundance of corals in their most pristine state, from huge sea fans to soft corals to a wide variety of sponges, coral foliose and hard corals, including countless plate and table corals. For the trained eye, one can make out that clams and other marine life, like nudibranches and other invertebrates seem to feel at home in this marine hideaway. The reef residents stand out as well, from adult snappers, sergeant-majors, parrot fishes, angelfishes, groupers, large trigger fishes, sea snakes, and an almost limitless flow of pelagics and schooling fishes, adding more life to this blue undisturbed world. And the barracuda always provide a sense of thrill and awe as it makes its occasional visit to the reef.

One of the goddamnd greatest wall dive's ever. WHY AM I NOT GETTING TIRED OF THIS??????????? (I usually get bored with pretty much anything after a ... day or so)

entry time 11:50, max depth 22,9m, divetime 47min, Nitrox EANx32, water temp 28
