Donsol, Diving at Manta Bowl

Donsol is called the „Capital City of Whalesharks“ so obviously we had to go there. From Cebu City we took a flight to Manila and then to Legazpi. After a 70min Bus ride we arrived in our Bungalow at the beach. For the first day we booked a diving trip to the famous diving spot Manta Bowl where you can spot Mantas besides the whale sharks. The trip included three dives. The first one was at a nice coral reef to set all the gear. The second and the third were at Manta Bowl. The spot really deserves his name, shortly after descending we spot the first Manta. The giant Ray floated calmly at a cleaning station when I suddenly recognized a enormous shadow above us. An approximately 9m long whale shark appeared out of nowhere.
At the second dive we saw two more mantas. What a successful trip. On our way back we spotted also a young, 3m long whale shark at the surface.Weiterlesen
