It is no doubt that the pandemic has got every ocean lover longing to set foot in the water again. What better way to celebrate World Ocean Day than to reminisce life’s bright moments spent by the sea? Cabin fever has definitely gotten the best of me as I am feeling nostalgic over past dive trips in none other than one of the world’s most biodiverse marine hotspots—the Philippines. The feeling of descending 30 meters, experiencing the peacefulness of life underwater, hearing nothing but the sound of bubbles.
