I volunteered to help out with the whaleshark research headed by Angela Quiros. I was filled with mixed feelings of awe, fear, and excitement while I swimming with them. The work was amazing and exhilarating.
We also went firefly watching. It was magical seeing trees filled with moving light. The firefly congregations were like little galaxies. It's been my lifelong dream to dance with the fireflies so this experience was the best for me.
Send me a message if you want to go there, so I can give you the cheapest rates and the nice places to go to.

 | meg17 wrote on May 28, '07 yep, we got to be pretty close with the sharks (not more than 2m though as per the rules). Thank God the water was clear then and the nice pictures courtesy of the underwater cameras of the marine biologists. |
 | meg, ang saya ng pics mo! grabe no, sobrang nice yung experience. sasabihin ko sana overwhelming, tapos nakita ko yung reply ni aren. haha! Ü |
| meg17 wrote on May 28, '07 Hi ivan, they used Nikon D200 and Canon PowerShot A95 with a special underwater cover that's almost as expensive as the camera itself, grabe. But the pictures are way better, so it's worth it. |
