UNDER THE SEA. . .

Searching for a place where you can have an adventure under the sea? Here's the best recreational activity for you!

Located in Libertad Bajo, Sinacaban, Misamis Occidental, is a "must see" ecotourism site in Northern Mindanao, the Misamis Occidental Aquamarine Park (MOAP). The park includes a mini zoo and the dolphin island.

I want to focus on the dolphin island since it is where I had a very adventurous experience. 

The fare in going to the Dolphin Island is quite expensive for it costs P300. However, there is no need to worry because I can assure you that your P300 is worth an experience. It the best place where you can unwind all your stress and it is where you can pamper yourself to the unique and natural beauty of nature. It is a very ideal recreational activity.

We rode on a boat in going to the Dolphin Island. I ha very relaxing moment as we were on our way because I enjoyed the cool and fresh breeze of the air. How I wish I could feel that kind of air everyday for me to feel calm and relaxed.

When we were approaching the island, we had discovered its beauty which can never be found on any other places. We have seen some people swimming with the dolphins. However we no longer tried it because our budget is not enough. We decided to do another activity for us to be able to utilize the time of our stay there. We had SNORKELING!

I have never tried that ever in my life that's why at first, I had fears and negative thoughts. We will be swimming in an open sea. My mind is not on its positive aspect. What if there are sharks that bite us, it's very dangerous, indeed! But I took that as a challenge!

And so, we went on snorkeling. There was someone who guide us while we were on the sea. Looking at the beautiful corals under the water, you would really feel proud that Misamis Occidental had that. The corals were of different colors as well as sizes. Of course, if there are corals, there are also fishes! I have seen fishes under, not just one, not just two, but many school of fish. They come into different sizes, color and species. I guess the biggest fish I encountered during that experience is 5 times bigger than my hand. I tried my best to touch the fishes but I can't because they were on the deeper areas.

If you plan to go to the Dolphin Island, you should try SNORKELING because it is the only recreational activity where you can feel self-fulfillment and a very high achievement building respect and appreciation within you towards the environment. 

It is the place you can never forget!
