🚩TIPS:💎
🔹Travel early in the morning to avoid traffic in Mabini, Batangas. I didn’t expect Manila traffic followed me here.
🔹Apply sunblock/sunscreen before bathing in the sun.
🔹Use a waterproof bag or dry bag to store your belongings especially your electronic gadgets. You’ll get some water splashes during the boat ride from Eagle Point to Sepoc Beach.
🔹Bring your own power bank to Sepoc Beach, there’s no electricity there.
🔹Cooking is not allowed in the resort and Sepoc Beach.
🔹Be aware and mindful of your position in relation to the reef! Don’t touch or step on the corals. Corals are sharp but very fragile, so it’s easy to cut yourself and damage the reef without even realizing it.
🔹If you are not a good swimmer, just wear a life vest to help you float when you’re snorkeling. This will lessen the chance you’ll step on a coral to rest.
🔹Don’t litter! Lots of marine animals die needlessly every year because our trash ends up in the ocean. Plastic bags, bottles, cigarette butts, and etc. can do a lot of damage, so please “REDUCE, RECYCLE, AND REUSE”
🔹Take only pictures and memories… leave only footprints and bubbles!
