Shore entry single dive day @Alorro Cliffs, Alorro Beach, Pangubatan, Samal, Philippines.
Habagat waves onshore making entries and exits very challenging. Soft deep sand on beach hard to walk.
swim out over shallow rocks until water clears and bottom opensup to beautiful shallow reefs and coral formations. exploration dive, conservative because solo and first time at location known for strong currents. Spent more time along cliffs and large corals trying to reach dropoff. Swam to depth but turned back at the first sign of any strong current. Did not reach dropoff.
No problems long dive with photos , needed assistance to exit on beach with the 2-3 foot waves, surge during entire dive
SOLO, multilevel
highlight Green Sea Turtle swimming over Corals
