quran voted by many as the best island in the world and we were on our way to find out why but
i think we've lost it all they're not willing they can't help us they said you've lost it
all we lost all the tickets we lost the hotel we lost everything
after two months on our great journey of the philippines we made it was it worth the journey
welcome to your dream world barucuda lake will have you feeling like you've stepped outside
reality the entrance of the lake will lead you along a boat walk that takes you through imposing
limestone walls which reveal the lake don't forget to grab a pair of snorkels the underwater world
will blow your mind the lake's name was born after the discovery of a large barracuda fish skeleton
in the depths of its waters but don't worry the fish won't eat you what makes barracuda lake stand
out is that it has dramatic thermoclines where saltwater and freshwater oddly co-exist in harmony
the first few layers of water are 28 degrees celsius as it gets deeper the temperature
rises to 38 degrees celsius let's just say that scuba diving here is a sensory experience that
will make you want to lose your wetsuit the most drastic temperature change of the water happens at
approximately 14 meters deep with the kick of your fins hence why barracuda lake is commonly referred
as the craziest dive site in the philippines the free dive is really cool here i think it's because
the water is so clear and when you're down there you can see when we're probably i guess
20 30 meters from the bottom but as soon as you put your head down you can see the bottom
so just actually make free diamond for me a little bit dangerous because i think you get a bit braver
because you think you can go down further because you don't realize you're so deep but it's it's
yeah it's good fun love it yeah i love the cliffs and the water they're so city an ocean a cave
i dreamed that no one could save a shelter
we are just about to have a real taste of the island life and the best part about it
it's cooked on board this is one of the most scenic lunch spots wooden heads set
up along the shoreline palm trees swinging the breezes main cut into coconuts i can't
wait to enjoy this barbecue fish on the beach hit the pause button and just be grab my hand
everything is grey inside this narrow maze
oh nothing we run our separate ways do you ever think about me as beautiful as the other places
are i think this is the place i was looking forward to the most and then you know we've done
a lot of research about the world war two bombing and how and how they sunk the ships so i'm really
looking forward to this and the free diving has been actually quite getting a lot better recently
so i'm hoping i can go down as far as possible so i'm gonna get ready i'll take you guys with me on
24th of september 1944 a squadron of 24 helldiver bombers burst out of the sky above korambay
they had located a japanese supply fleet hiding among the islands below whether the japanese fleet
was spotted by area photo reconnaissance who noticed that some of the camouflage ships had
moved or where the japanese radio transmissions were intercepted is still debated at 9am the
strikeforce reached busuwanga island and proceeded to destroy 12 large japanese ships anchored in
korambe the dive bombers escorted by 96 hellcat fighters had limited time to sink as many ships
as possible before their fuel would get too low for them to complete the 340 mile return
journey to their aircraft carrier the attack was ruthlessly successful and left a legacy
that wouldn't be discovered until recreational diving came to this remote part of the philippines
and the whole devastating assault happened in just 15 minutes that was definitely the best experience
you've been before
twin lagoon is that place that you wouldn't want to miss to visit
this place leaves people wondering if paradise is real the name itself promises that you get
not one but two treats the two lagoons are separated by a narrow cliff and you can hop
between them using the wooden steps at high tide or swim beneath the cliff at low tide here you can
immerse yourself in nature's beauty and swim in crystalline waters to your heart's content
and if you haven't packed your bugs yet the next shots will make you grab your suitcase
this place is another level it really is as you pull in you kind of think oh this is nice
and as you just come it just keeps getting better and better and better it's absolutely amazing i've
never seen anything like it i mean there's places that are similar but this is unreal
the sort of jurassic style rocks are incredible where they're cut and formed it's just
it's absolutely blowing my mind so we've landed in the first lagoon
um you've got a park here and then swim underneath the rocks to the next ones
so i'm gonna take you guys into the second one because i've not seen it myself yet
well sorry i look like a scuba diver anyway this is the ladder you'd normally go over i don't know
a bit lower today we get to swim underneath i'm going to see lagoon number two
i just met the local tribe they have a house here in a lagoon
they keep themselves to themselves but it's so amazing seeing their children play with themselves
this one this little one she's got a fishing rod made out of girl she's literally tied a little
string on the car when she's fishing from the little boat it's so amazing to watch them
so let's go back to the question was quran worth the journey for us it was worth every
mile we crossed and all the lessons we learned on the way but all of you
made this journey special and today we celebrate you
