What Happens to Fish When You Take Them Out of the Water?

Last week my wife and I had an opportunity to be like any other normal couple. We did mundane tasks and ran errands, which included a trip to Costco on a Sunday.

We were on our way back to our Ford Exploder when someone tapped me on the back and asked me if I was who I was. Uh, yes…?


As it turned out, she was the wife of a guide with whom I used to work. I ended up catching up with Pedro for almost half an hour on his wife’s phone. That brought back a lot of good memories.

So what do we do when we’re on land? We try to imitate what two-legged creatures do, only to find out that we suck at it.

Pedro is one fish that I would not mind to swim with again.

Dives Waiting To Happen


I'm looking for six (6) divers so that I can do a half-boat charter onboard Ferox

I will work as a crew member, but I will give full attention to my 6 divers. I will do my best as a guide and I won’t rest until we are on land. I can help with improving your vegetarian food, but not with your chocolate on your pillow. In that case you are not the diver I want to guide.

This is not a destination for fainthearted divers.

Strong current, big surge, and waves crashing on the sheer rocky island that you can only get on by climbing a 10-meter-long rope ladder hanging from a ramp that sticks out from the island. IF it’s calm.
