The Philippines: Of 7107 islands, only a few are inhabited. This inspires a picture of them as secluded islands in the midst of virginal tranquillity surrounded by sparkling lagoons. Busuanga is situated on the edge. You find a few villages there and the small town of Coron. And the nature to be found there is simply fantastic – above and under water.

The Giant Trevallies are quick as arrows. The hunters are shooting through the water – too fast to spot them catching prey among the neon-coloured Fusiliers, who form instantly into a ball. It’s protecting the individual within it. One can hear the dynamic. As suddenly as the hunt started, it’s over. Quietness returns to the Magic Mountain. Mantas glide gracefully in. It’s a magical moment in breathless silence.

When the others raved about “muck-diving” as the greatest thing, it was a mystery to me for a long time. I could find nothing in looking for ‘critters’ on a muddy sea bed, those little and smallest of sea creatures, cranky to bizarre in colour, shape and movement. And if you are far-sighted, everything close to you gets blurred. The macro world remained hidden from me. A far better travelled friend sharpened my eye for that. He raved about Lembeh Street and the animal oddities that lived in it – and gave me a magnifying glass.
