Cliff diving, baby!!!!
This was my first time and you have to definitely try this out when you go to Boracay! It’s so fun, exciting and… yes! Thrilling! :)) My tip to you? Just don’t freakin’ think about it. Just. Jump.

Haha! Because I promise you, if you dare stop and think, you’ll end up going back and away from the board! 7M was the only level I can jump. I dare not jumped from the 9M one, most especially on the 16M drop! It would be suicide! (One of our friends did though!)

In this video you’ll first see my first mindless jump(take note: mindless, ‘cause you shouldn’t think about it! I sure didn’t!) and you can even hear the voices of my companion shouting out to our other companion, Eugene. ‘Cause you see, we had a deal. I can’t swim. So… just in case I might die after I dive, Eugene went ahead and SHOULD BE waiting for me, assisting me to safety.

But guess what! Once I landed on water and resurfaced (the water’s very VERY deep so you’ll just instantly bob up the water ASAP), Eugene thought I could handle it so he left me alone! I WAS IN TOTAL PANIC!!!!!! (Just listen to my friends’ dialogue during the recording of the video!!! HAHAHA!)

And thereafter, guess what? I realized I could swim a bit! And for the love of my life, I freakin’ did! Hahahaha! My friends all scolded and then laughed at Eugene and then me. So anyway, seeing as I can swim, I went for my second dive which is also in this video.

Oh, the guy after me in the first drop is Charles, my ex! Haha! Our friends’ laughed ‘cause his feet were like in total hysteria that it was comical! :)))

The third drop wasn’t recorded; yet it was my biggest boo-boo. Becauseeeee, I started to become too mindful of the board and the sea and the height! I had to go back just when I was at the tip of the board and took quite a while as I mustered to gain my ‘mindless’ composure again. Thank God I did, so the jump went great!

• Please do not imitate me when I dive. You should be upright and your hands should be at your sides especially when you’re not a professional diver. That’s the least you could do to NOT hurt yourself. Unfortunately, it’s only after the trip did I notice that when I dive, my arms were above me! …that’s not right; but the good thing is, I wasn’t hurt!

• I still can’t swim. I thought a miracle had happened! I tried to try out my supposedly-swimming abilities on the shallow waters… and yeah, I can’t. Haha! I can’t even float! It seems like I can only float and swim when the water is very deep. But for only a short amount of time.
• With the board, I feel like I’m in a pirate movie—minus the sword-holding pirate to poke me. :))

Other activities in Ariel’s Point are snorkeling and canoeing. We had little time left for these activities ‘cause we had so much fun diving!
