RE: A Rant on Irresponsible Vlogger Promoting Illegal Diving Activity at Balicasag Island in Bohol, Philippines
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
This is sad, dangerous, and bad for the diving industry generally. Sadly, it's something that happens all the time on different islands and other countries in the region.
Another thing is that many resorts take people out to discover scuba, even if they can't swim. That's dangerous in itself, just in case the customer gets into difficulty.

I know right, not just in Bohol. But what happens here in Bohol (Panglao or Balicasag) is ridiculous. I just couldn't believe that the vlogger agreed to pay 3000 PHP for less than 15 minutes of scuba diving. Even if the PHP 3000 is included with the island hopping tour, still a ridiculous amount of money. Not sure if there is "free lunch" inclusion on that deal package. I remember my trip to Kalanggaman Island which was 3-4 hours boat trip from Malapascua Island, I only paid PHP 800 with lunch inclusion. Have you heard some updates of Bohol? It's getting expensive in there.
