It was 2019 when I last visited Batangas to freedive and boyyyy so much has changed. There were more improvements and developments that I noticed. But I also couldn’t help but notice that safety in freediving isn’t the top priority in most cases.. 🥺 It was sad to see that in the growth of the freediving community, comes the safety of both humans and our ocean being compromised. I saw a lot of freedivers diving alone, newbies stepping on shallow reefs..
