Having to attend the NorthPhil Expo 2013 in SM Clark, we found out that Hundred Islands National Park in Alaminos City, Pangasinan already  have activities added to the park after our last visit. We got some tickets for the helmet diving at 50% off.

When Ate Wilma and Ate Rina sponsored the transpo - it was a GO for everyone. Packed our packs and off we went!



We went helmet diving just as we did in Boracay before.  It was also a nice experience.  They had a small area they closed where divers can view and even touch the corals, starfish and other fishes that roam around the helmet diving area.  Though the water was not as clear as you'd want probably because the diving area was quite shallow at 10 feet, the sand is easily disturbed causing blurry vision while underwater.  It was, nonetheless, a good experience, especially for most as it was their first time to do helmet diving.


We also did some snorkeling around the Giant Clams locally called as the "Taklobos" viewing area.  Whew...what a view!


Fact about Hundred Islands National park, it is composed of 123 Islands and Islets.
