I have been to Boracay five times and I never get tired of it. Every visit, I try at least one "adventure". In my first time, I tried the ATV and Zorb, and this last March, I tried helmet diving.
For Php800, you'll experience a 30-minute under the sea experience. The starting point is at Station 3 where most activities start. At the organizer's tent, in this case, Milky's, they give you a brief orientation including who and who cannot helmet dive. Those who are pregnant, has heart problems and hypertension are advised not to proceed. Upon payment, which includes the divers taking photos and videos of you underwater, you will be taken in the middle of the sea for the dive.
You will be wearing this helmet:
Before entering the water, you will be given another briefing which includes hand signals you can use with the divers - signals for up, down, okay and bring me up, how to depressurize etc. The helmet is kind of heavy but once under water, you will not feel anything and you can breath normally.
What is important going down and once underwater is NOT TO PANIC. Just enjoy the scenerary and being up close and personal with the corals and fishes.
The divers will guide you going down and once you have set foot on the ocean floor, you can walk, swim, sit or do whatever you like. The divers will take photos and videos of you and have these in a CD delivered to your hotel within the day. They will also give you some bread to feed the fishes so they will go near you.
Under the water, it's a different world. So this is how to be in an aquarium eh lol.
Here I am with my good friend Marvin who accompanied me underwater.
For Php800.00 with photos and videos to document the experience, I think it's worth it :)
