Your Cebu trip will not be complete until you get to have a selfie with at least one butanding even though he just turned his back on you! Hahaha.
Make sure to get ready before dawn to avoid traffic and arrive Oslob while the crowd is still small. Arriving past 6:00 am, the crowd was starting to increase, pre-orientation has already started accepting batches for whale shark watching so we went right away and fall in line to pay for corresponding fees.
Precautions must be strictly observed while underwater, make sure to keep a distance from the whale sharks and stayed on the boat as close as possible. There were instances, however, when the butandings would go near you or the boat, just let them pass. Important reminder as well to not wear sunscreen or any moisturizer which could affect the whale sharks.
Cebu is so full of adventures everyone must experience. Daghang Salamat! #CEBUtanding
