I have good memories of Sipalay, typhoon and all, because this was where we decided to start scuba diving. Mark, the dive instructor, was so unconvinced of my swimming abilities that I think at the end he was thankful that the typhoon came to stop us from our folly. He made me swim 500 meters parallel to the beach and I remember all the guest were cheering me on. I barely made it. Since then, I have taken swimming lessons (I maintain that I knew how to swim before but I had no confidence in myself) and now I could easily do the 500 meters, no sweat.
I would like to go back to Tatatuka and see the place again minus the bad weather. It was nice during a typhoon. I bet it's nicer with the sun shining bright.
Fishermen at Sugar Beach, Sipalay, Negros Island. I think they were trying to
catch squids. I still have a stain on my shirt from that day.
