00:00Nainjoy na natin ang Samal sa Ibabaw.
00:02This time, let's go underwater.
00:06Dahil ang tunay na playground ng islang ito,
00:10nasa ilalim ng dagat.
00:13Mga kapuso sa iba't ibang parten ng Pilipinas
00:15na kakaranas po ng Tagulan,
00:16pero dito sa Samal Island,
00:18magkakaroon tayo ng fun, fun, fun.
00:22Kasama mga tropa,
00:23at si Dominique, na resident freediver ng Samal,
00:27sisisiri natin ang isa sa underwater wonder ng Samal,
00:31ang Mansood Wall.
00:33Time to dive!
00:37Mula sa mababaw na coral reef na may lalim na 5 to 10 meters,
00:44parabang nasa malaking aquarium ng fields,
00:47napapalibutan ng makukulay na corals at mga isda,
00:51mala underwater garden ng Samal.
00:56Sa tabi nito, biglang bubulusok pa ilalim na nasa 40 hanggang 45 meters.
01:02Ang lalim nga.
01:07Palakasan ng lobe ito.
01:09Pero sulit namin ng isang oras sa pag-free dive sa Mansood Wall.
01:19The maximum depth here, from what we've heard, is around 20 meters.
01:24Eh, ang ganda na ng wall na yun dahil
01:25it's very rich, you know, in corals and fishes.
01:29Tapos nun, kapag siguro wala pa masyadong cloud,
01:32ang ganda siguro ng visibility.
01:35Doon naman ako parating bilib sa Samal.
01:37Bilib na bilib ako dahil,
01:38kahit ang lapit lang yan sa Davao, which is a city,
01:42pagdating mo sa Samal, yung tubig,
01:44klaro na.
01:45So, yun yung parang hindi nawawala.
01:47I'm guessing it's seasonal,
01:49but parating pag-free feature namin this side of Davao,
01:53which is Samal,
01:54parating klaro yung tubig.
01:56So, for, I guess,
01:58people who want to try scuba diving,
02:00they can definitely go to Mansood.
02:02People who are free diving aficionados as well.
02:08This place might be the perfect free diving spot for you.
02:13Sa mga divers dyan,
02:15pwedeng-pwedeng isali sa bucket list nyo yung Samal.
02:18Kasi yung Mansood Wall,
02:20maganda siya for free diving and scuba diving activities.
02:24Then, doon kasi,
02:25yung may mga balit na crevices
02:27na pwede silang maglusot-lusot.
02:29And then, maganda din yung coral garden doon.
02:32Since nauuso naman ngayon yung free diving na Aura shot.
02:36Sa mga gusto namang matuto mag-free dive?
02:39Yung introduction to free diving,
02:41it's gonna play around 3,000 pesos for the day trip na.
02:45Yung inclusion nun is,
02:46theory session,
02:47two to three hours na open water line.
02:54Pag-ahon galing sa ilalim,
02:56bangka ang sasalubong.
02:59Pero ang mga bangka raw dito,
03:01imbis na alo ng hinihintay,
03:03aba,
03:04low tide ang inaabangan.
03:05Bakit kaya?
03:07So, oras kasi na bumaba ang tubig,
03:09lilitaw na ang
03:10Pasig Kidupong Sandbar.
03:12Ang main character dito,
03:14hindi mga turista na umaura.
03:16Kundi, literal na star.
03:18Ang mga starfish ng isla.
03:20Pero may mahigpit na bilin
03:22sa mga biyaherong bibisita rito.
03:24Kidupong is one of our
03:25emerging tourism destinations.
03:27But more than that,
03:29it has also
03:30rich marine resources.
03:32Maganda siya
03:33for visitors to experience
03:35actually the ecological balance
03:38and the marine ecosystems
03:39of Tamil Island.
03:41Kung makikita tayo ng starfish,
03:43pag tinanggal mo sila sa dagat,
03:45maaari silang ma-stress
03:46or kahit mamatay.
03:48So, pwedeng mamatay
03:49yung starfish natin.
03:50Sana,
03:50hindi nila kunin
03:52kasi nga,
03:52these are living organisms.
03:54Sabi ko nga,
03:55it's more of education
03:56and awareness.
03:58But more than that,
03:59meron din naman tayo
03:59mga local ordinances.
04:01May mga penalties din
04:02kung may masamang ginawa
04:04dun sa marine resources.
