Yes! A clownfish’s home is more related to animals than corals! Their “house” is actually called a sea anemone, which is an animal, not even a flower. Sea anemones sting like jellyfish, they are mobile and actively hunt for food. Clownfish live safely among the anemone’s stinging tentacles, which protect them from predators, while the clownfish help keep the anemone clean and provide food. It’s a perfect example of how different species work together in nature!

Did you know the Koran angelfish gets its name from the unique, swirling patterns on its body that resemble ancient writing? These fish are known for their vibrant colors and graceful movements. What’s even more amazing is how they aren’t bothered by freedivers at all. As we swim alongside them, they move calmly through the reef, showing no fear—just a peaceful presence in the ocean. It’s moments like this that remind us how connected we can feel to the underwater world.

Did you know that El Nido is a favorite nesting ground for 5 out of 7 sea turtle species? 🐢
The turtles here are incredibly friendly and love hanging out with people, especially local freedivers! Over the years, they’ve grown to feel safe around us because of the locals’ respect and care for their natural habitat.
These amazing creatures also have an incredible instinct to return to the very beach where they were born to lay their own eggs. It’s a beautiful cycle of life that makes El Nido even more magical. 🌊💙

One of the most surprising facts about freediving is that the human body has a natural “mammalian dive reflex,” similar to dolphins and seals. When you submerge in cold water and hold your breath, your heart rate slows down, blood is directed to your vital organs, and your body adapts to conserve oxygen—allowing you to dive longer and deeper than you’d think possible!

3. Dugongs reproduce slowly, giving birth to a single calf every 3 to 7 years.
4. Classified as vulnerable, they face threats from habitat loss, hunting, and accidental entanglement in fishing gear.
5. They communicate through chirps, whistles, and barks, especially between mothers and calves.
6. Dugongs have a fluked tail resembling that of a whale, unlike manatees, which have rounded tails.
7. Found in warm coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific, including the Philippines, they thrive in seagrass-rich environments.
