Underwater Photoshoot

That's me wearing a Php99 pair of goggles (approximately 2USD), using my Olympus mju1030 SW (Shockproof, Weatherproof). I've dipped my sturdy camera in drinking water, iced tea, orange juice and have tested it in a swimming pool. Last Sunday was the first chance I had to use it in salt water That up there my satisfied look on my wonderful 10megapixel point and shoot camera.

We went to Camayan Resort in Subic (Philippines) for a day trip with our relatives from the states. It was their last chance to visit a place in the Philippines that they've never been to - their 10 day vacation was spent on visiting close friends and relatives, eating lots of Filipino foods that they missed and holding karaoke nights. The trip to Subic was on their 10th day. It's a one and a half hour drive from Tarlac thanks to the new, convenient SCTEX (Subic - Clark - Tarlac EXpress Way), that's half the travel time it used to be.

Camayan Resort, Subic is right beside Ocean Adventure. You pass by Zoobic Safari on your way. The following are the expenses that you should consider if you plan to visit Camayan, too:

Php250 - entrance fee per head
Php1000 - for the mini nipa hut.

The hut is where you put all your stuff and where you eat your packed lunch (you're allowed to bring in food, but you may opt to eat in their restaurant instead.). The one we rented was just good enough for the five of us. If you have a bigger party, you should get a bigger hut unless you plan to spend the whole time on the sand, which you could.



That's my sister's first photo shoot under water. Doesn't she make Ariel jealous?



And this is the exact spot where I dropped my shockproof camera for the first time - right when we were packing up our things in the van and right before its battery ran out.
