Dayang Beach is situated beside Babusanta Beach on Talikud Island. The dive site features almost no coral at all, but the sandy bottom is full of life!

    I enjoyed viewing the underworld. What an amazing experience just by looking at all these beautiful photos. You can even even blow-up and frame it. Very breathtaking and sort of having a calming effect on me. What more if I see it in in person. Thanks, Blogie for sharing :)) Someday….would love to try scuba diving to actually see these colorful creatures in the deep.

      You’re welcome, Carol, and thanks for the kind words. Yes, I do hope you’ll start scuba diving yourself and help spread the word about the beauty of the seas. :)

      Thanks tol! Yeah, gusto ko rin makakuha ng pictures of big fish, sharks, rays… But they’re difficult to find in Davao. Or I just don’t know enough where to look for them. Sige lang, I’m sure I’ll get to that soon enough. Kaya lang, I don’t have the proper equipment for wide shots pa eh, strobes and all that expensive stuff! :D
