Sub ape / Underwater

Day 1,779, 05:38 Published in Romania Romania by Romanian Liberator

Din capitolul "Sa ne mai si relaxam" sper ca voi gasi camarazi din eRomania care sa-mi impartaseasca pasiunea pentru Scubaviding.

Si, pentru ca tot ne-am mutat in eAsia, va povestesc despre locul unde m-am scufundat ieri, epava Camia de langa insula Boracay, Filipine (sper ca le atacam curand varianta cu e in fata).

Adancimea este maxim 35m, dar in mod uzual 30-32 deci accesibila oricui are o licenta Advanced, cu sau fara Deep Dive. Locatia fiind la aproximativ 1 km. de White Beach se navigheaza usor, chiar si pe vreme rea si valuri mari (mai ales cu o barca mai mare). Coborarea si urcarea se pot face pe franghia permanent amplasata la locul faptei, deci nu prezinta probleme de viteza sau localizare pentru cei cu mai putina experienta.

Epava este usor de accesat, am facut 3 treceri prin interior: una pe verticala (coborare, avansare, urcare) cu treceri patrate de peste 2m pe laturi, una orizonatala cu treceri un pic mai mici (1-1,5m) si una destul de dificila, sub 1m la treceri, insa partial deschisa si astfel lipsind elementul de claustrofobie care provoaca de obicei panica, ramanand necesare doar o buna flotabilitate. La nici o trecere nu este nevoie de lumini, fiind vizibilitatea naturala foarte buna.

Splendid este faptul ca sunt o multime de pesti mici, medii si chiar maricei (nu si rechini, pe astia o sa-i vad maine la Yapak) care, mai ales in proximitatea si interiorul epavei, nu prea fug de scafandrii (evident, daca nu dai din maine ca nebunul) si deci iti permit sa-i admiri in toata spendoarea lor de la cateva zeci de centrimetri.

Poze mai jos 🙂

English version:

In the chapter "Let us relax and" I hope you find the eRomania comrades who share my passion for Scubaviding.

And because we moved all in ASIA will tell about the place where I sank yesterday camels wreck near the island of Boracay, Philippines (hopefully soon we'll attack ePhilippines).

Depth is maximum 35m, but usually 30-32 so accessible to anyone has a license Advanced, with or without Deep Dive. The location is about 1 km. White Beach is easy to navigate, even in bad weather and high waves (especially with a bigger boat). Descent and ascent can be made permanent rope placed at the scene, so no problems with locating and speed or less experienced.

The wreck is easily accessible, I made three passes through the interior: one vertical (descent, advancement, climb) with square passes over 2m sides, one horizontal to pass a little smaller (1.5 m) and quite difficult under 1m passes, but partially open, thus without claustrophobic element that usually causes panic, leaving only needed a good buoyancy. At all pass no need for lights, the natural visibility is very good.

Splendid is that there are plenty of small fish, medium and even big ones (not sharks, the guys will see them tomorrow at Yapak dive site) which, especially in the vicinity of and inside the wreck, do not run from divers (obviously, if you do not move your hands like crazy) and therefore allow you to admire them in all their splendor from a few tens of centimeters.
