Ramblin' to Romblon

When exiting the Ferry, I had to arrange the porters again and it was a zoo!

Once we left port, there was a little brown cardboard sign that read PAMELA 3P.  So funny.

Then they loaded up three little motor trikes with our luggage and we got inside.  OMG, it was an insane exit and then ride to the 3P Dive Resort.

Our rooms are really nice.  And they are right near the dining area.

We’ve been told there are a lot of different kinds of shrimp here… not just nudis.

The dive prep area isn’t as nice, but it’s not bad.

We have to walk out to the boats and then climb a ladder in but the bottom is sandy, not rocky.

The water is really warm and we were able to do three dives today.  They don’t do very deep dives so although we are staying down like 90 minutes, I am coming up with like 1000 pounds of air still.  They don’t have nitrox here, so we are diving on air.

I’m going to start my nudi count over in Romblon.  J
