REAL Scuba Dive (60 Mins Uncut) | Green Turtles & Coral Gardens at Balicasag's "Divers' Heaven"

Hey everyone, Regis here from 'Talk to the fish'! 🐠 Come join me for a complete, 60-minute uncut scuba dive, from the surface splash to the end-of-dive signal. This is a real, immersive experience, just as if you were my dive buddy!

We're diving at "Divers' Heaven" near Balicasag Island, right here in Panglao, Philippines. Balicasag is a world-famous marine sanctuary, but this specific site can sometimes get a bit busy. Luckily for us, it was a rainy day, which meant we had the place almost to ourselves!
The conditions were pretty nice: visibility was correct at about 15m, and we had a lovely, light current that gave us an easy, slow drift along the reef.

The dive starts on a sandy slope covered in seagrass, and right away, we spotted two beautiful green turtles grazing. We then drifted over to the famous wall, and wow, it's colorful! It's covered in healthy sections of vibrant soft and hard corals, with clouds of anthias, chromis, and damsels dancing in the water. I even spotted a beautiful map pufferfish hanging out.
Even though the wall wasn't exploding with huge schools of fish on this particular day, the coral health was just stunning. The dive finishes in an absolutely fantastic coral garden. Honestly, the diversity of soft corals, hard corals, and sponges here is top-notch, and the sheer richness in chromis and damsels was superb!

This video is 100% uncut. You'll see all the exciting moments, but also the calm moments, the "waits," and the slow exploration. It’s a true, honest rendering of what it's like to scuba dive this magnificent site.
I hope you enjoy this full immersion! Let me know in the comments what you spotted!
