The third day dives were more exciting than the first one's since basic training is done now. We were at a bigger reef of corals and all kinds of underwater animals. Now I also have all the courses done and have a Padi Open Water Licence! Licensed to deep anywhere in the world at 18 meters depth.
Open water certificate DONE!
This is where I am, a small island - Malapascua, outside Cebu City
The boat Evolution uses to go to diving sites
After each dive we wash the equipment
CBD's drying
After doing our morning dives and completing the test we wanted to relax a little and started walking around the island. After a few kilometers walk we met some locals who invited us for some drinks and hanging around. They run a small shack by the beach making T-Shirts and other souvenirs to tourists here. They thought me how to train Roosters for cockfighting and we saw the roosters attacking each-other "practicing" for the real competition. Cockfighting here in Philippines are very popular and there are competitions everyday. They tie a sharp nail to the roosters beak which is poisoned with snake poison. When one of the roosters picks the other one the poison will start working immediately and it does not take long until one of the roosters is a
winner. So the rules are fairly easy, you bet on one and see which one wins. Now I've been training a rooster how to fight...

Later in the evening they brought a duck which was killed on spot and then we cooked it. They way they kill ducks here was kinda brutal. Just a hammer and a nail to the back of it's head then twist the nail until the duck is out. Then start skinning it and boil it. After boiling, BBQ. Taste was awesome and fresh. And the place is also beautiful with great sunset! Felt like something out of "Madventures" the whole day. So random.
