Day 4 of the Cagayancillio Safari with Easy Diving Sipalay and this trip just keeps getting better.

Pristine reefs covered in giant gorgonian sea fans, massive barrel sponges, and incredible fish life everywhere you look. Tiny critters hiding in the reef one minute, huge schools swirling around us the next.

This safari has already delivered a whale shark on day 1, a tiger shark on day 2, and rays plus blacktip and whitetip sharks on almost every dive since.

Today’s highlight was diving the Forever Lucky shipwreck. Absolutely awesome from bow to stern.

Cagayancillo is something special. 🌊🦈🐠

Day 1 of the Cagayancillo Dive Safari with Easy Diving Sipalay and already completely blown away.

A whale shark on the very first day, crystal clear water, untouched reefs, and that feeling of being truly far away from the usual dive crowds. Trips like this remind you why expedition-style diving is so special in the Philippines.

The combination of remote islands, incredible marine life, long days at sea, and a great crew has made this an unforgettable start already.

And somehow… we’re only just getting started. 🇵🇭🦈🌊
