Scuba-ing in Great Sta. Cruz Island, Zamboanga City

It was 2015's coastal clean- up day. My friend, who is a teacher, invited to a school activity - coastal clean up. I just left my job in the metro. I was jobless so I had all the time. 

It is said to be a pink-sand beach. Well, not really pink but when you look closely, you'll see specks of red crushed corals making it pinking. But really, it is not pink. I've been here 3 times already but nothing really has changed since the first time I went here, 2007. Like before, there were still lots of dead corals. Not much fish to see when you snorkel, don't bother bring snorkel when you plan to come here. These photos will show you.

Photos were shot using SJ400. Enjoy :)
