    this is a beach from my home country in the philippines. this place is simply paradise.

    best time to enter is at low tide. thats when the entrance becomes exposed enough for a small boat or kayak to enter. otherwise you would need some diving gear to find the entrance to this spectacular beach. it is completely surrounded by a sheer cliff rock wall.

    words connot explain the beauty of this ocean oasis

    see the video
    YouTube - Secret Beach, El Nido, Palawan

    and while i have your attention. see this dive video of the same location in the philippines. I plan on diving here next year.

    i suggest turning this video to mute

    well i just confirmed it with my family back home. that next christmas i will be coming over. they will be linking me up to some divers in the area who can take me for a tour.

    I've never been diving so this will be my first. i must say im terrified of sharks and even large fish for that matter. but hey no better way to overcome fear huh.

    anyone have any diving experience. and can give me some much needed advice?

    see if you can get hooked up to spearfish.. dorado on the weed mats or something like that. youll get over the fear quick. and eat good.

    so you want me to spearfish and draw fish blood so the sharks can smell it...

    i dunno sounds risky.

    the main shark species in the philippines are tigers. and they love the shallows. ive seen a few when i was a kid on the beach

    i live on the reef diving, snorkeling, fishing and trust me they are nothing like the movies if i was you i would be more afraid of bumping up against fire coral.
