5 Days like One Night Dream in VORACAY

5 Days like One Night Dream in BORACAY

    In 2015 March, I was in the Philippine, but my friends were in school. During the semester I went to Boracay with my friend for 5 days. When we made a plan we wanted to do special things as much as we can do. We searched on the web sites,and we booked many activities. The plans were not perfect but it was perfect trip.

    In March 1, we departed from Incheon to Manila. It took about 4 hours to Manila. When we arrived in Manila, it was about 1 am, so we stayed 1 night in Manila, and next day we transferred to Boracay airport. At the airport we bought tickets bound for Boracay Island. Finally, we got to the Island. At first day, we went to scuba diving. My friend never had done this, so we chose discovery dive for anyone who doesn’t have certification. The water was so clean and warm. We dived two times and came back to lodging. While we took a break, we watched photos that we took under the water.

    Second day, we went to Ariel’s point that has three cliff diving points, 5 meter, 8 meter, and 15 meter high. We jumped step by step, but it was not easy to jump at 15 meter without any life vest. I slowly step to the end of the diving board. Oh my god. What should I do, I want to give up, but behind me, there were many foreigners who were cheering up for me even Koreans too. Finally I jumped. What happen, I still in the air? I opened my eyes and saw the landscape. At that time, I crushed to the water. I dived about 5 or 6 meter deep. It was very exciting! After we enjoyed diving, we ate the lunch, and we could get beers for free. When we were on the way back, the guide gave us coke ,but it was jack coke, I was cheated.

    Third and fourth day we enjoyed sailing boat with sun set, and we tried parasailing, it was fantastic. I was so scared because I had to count on just one line. We went up higher, higher, we could see the whole Island view. However I was so nervous. When the boat made vibes, it was conveyed to us following the line.

    Last day, we enjoy the break time for all day long. We ate sea food and buffet restaurant food, and we drunk Martini and red wine. We just sat down on the sand and felt wind, listened to live songs with wave sounds. In addition, we looked back our trip, it was such a long trip, but next day, we had to leave. If we sleep just once more, tomorrow would be come to us. We didn’t want to get sleep because we didn’t want this trip to be remembered like one night dream. Next day, we should go back to ordinary life. It was so sad.

    Actually, when we just arrived in Korea, it was really like one night dream, but after few days I could remember all about the trip. It was happy to reminisce. Even though I absent classes, I never regret because I enjoyed my 24th spring and I enjoyed my youth in beautiful Island. Now or never. If you want, I would recommend you to leave! Enjoy your youth when you are younger.

My diving log

       Have you imagined the sound of ocean? You might imagine the sound of waves, winds, or birds but I mean sound of under the water. To experience under the water I learned scuba dive. That was an object of curiosity and fear. After I got the training, the real ocean was very calm and peaceful and the nature environment is very beautiful and spectacular. Every time I dive with scuba gear I want to experience other different oceans.

       When I was 20 years old I joined a scuba diving team in BUFS because of my curiosity about ocean world. At first I’m very nervous because under water, there’s pressure of water, I couldn’t move my body well, and I couldn’t breathe well. Under water I had to use a regulator and mask, so I couldn’t breathe through my nose. The only way to breath is use my mouth whole time in the water. It was very strange for me, so sometimes I used my nose, but it was not good because the water got in my nose, it was very painful. One day I couldn’t endure the pain so I skyrocketed. During the ocean practice, I saw black big seaweed. When I saw that first I almost got the panicked because I mistook that for a dead body, I’m so frightened.

       After, finish the train, in summer vacation, I went to jeju island for recreation diving. It was pretty much different with my training environment. It was another world. There are beautiful coral reef, a school of fish, and big rocks. The color of the ocean was more diverse than I expected and more dynamic. There’re many dynamic movement of current and sea creatures, but there were any sounds except my breathing sound. It was very peaceful and calm like a universe. Every time was new, even though I dived into the same places. The small islands in Jeju Island were  preserved better than beach point. You know that the coral need 10 years to grow 1cm, in moon and Beom islands, there are many long and big corals. Something is taller than people. It was grand and spectacular. Especially in 2011 and 2015, every day after diving, we enjoyed the free time! We drink a lot till 2 or 3 am. During drinking, if we ate all snacks, we drink with the night view of the Jeju Island. It was the best snacks for drinking. In addition last part of diving tour is sightseeing. Most of diving points have great sights, so we toured Oedolgae Rock, Saeyeon bridge, waterfall Eongtto and Cheonjiyeon, Manjang cave.

Since 2011, I’ve visited Jeju Island every summer, but this year March I went to Boracay Island for 7 days. I wanted to experience other ocean of other country, so I decided to go to the Philippine island. The White Beach’s shining, the transparent ocean’s waving and the cool wind’s whispering everything was perfect. there I did scuba diving 3 days, it was warmer and clearer than the Korea’s. I also saw many wonderful and colorful fishes that I couldn’t see. The most impressed scene was school of baby fish on the coral. It was like little bubbles, so cute that I want to take to my house. During the 3 days I met many foreigners, one of them came from the Mexico. I asked him about the Mexico’s water. He said that actually Boracay is better, but I couldn’t believe because there’s Caribbean Sea. Last 2 days I enjoyed other activities such as sailing boat when the sun is setting, ariel’s point where I jumped at 15 meters high, and parasailing. The most interesting experience was jumping at 15 meters because I jumped with my phone to take a video even though my hand strap was snapped so my phone dived into water, the guard saved my phone.

As I told diving doesn’t mean only diving, it contains many things. The representative is free we can enjoy the time slowly with friends. Sometimes we cannot dive because we can’t against bad weather. We have to respect the nature for safe diving. We don’t have to be in a hurry, if we wait, the nature would reply by better environment. Also, I want to go to another country whenever I get the chance because of curiosity. Someday I’ll conquer the top 10 diving point in the world.
