Looking for Aliens
The dive guides at Sea Explorers are among the best dive professionals in the world, especially here in the Philippines. Brad Holland, who spent two weeks diving with Sea Explorers, remarked, “I don’t know how those guides see or find all those critters underwater.” If you have a specific creature in mind, ask, and you might be surprised. Whether you’re looking for a Blue Ring Octopus, a hairy frogfish, or even a Giant Frogfish, just stay with the guide, and you could see all three during a single dive—all within an hour!
