Destination: Coron, Palawan - 7

Welcome to Skeleton Wreck island. This small island hosts some sunken Japanese ships during World War II. Many believed that some Japanese ships contained some treasures and were lost to the sea.



The buoy is anchored to a sunken ship where a portion of it is visible the moment you go under water. OMG. It was my first time to dip my face in an open sea and so many unwanted thoughts entered my mind. Yes, I saw that part of the ship that everyone saw likewise. At first I was awed by the sight but moments after that, eerie thoughts and feelings rushed in. It was like a bottomless pit and I simply could not imagine what lies beneath the dark water.



Silly thoughts but I was no longer comfortable. I just could not shake my fears away. Maybe my imagination is killing me slowly. Hehe. I simply comforted myself to swim near our boat. Somehow, I felt safe. On the contrary, I was somehow rejoicing because I had been trying to conquer my fear and honestly speaking, this was my very first time to be out in the open sea that deep. It never occurred in my wildest imagination that I would be doing a thing like this one. My insurance was my life vest. It made me feel safe.



The blue water always give me a spine-chilling moment. I am trying to figure out way back then what caused this trouble and it seems like I will never outgrow this fear. I had been deliberately trying to conquer this fear, little by little and I don't know what will make me overcome this one. I got jealous about people enjoying the water. I am jealous about them that they can enjoy the swim and have fun exploring the depths. What a shame.
