      Hi Evelyn, thank you for your kind words about our blog post! Muck diving can be a unique and exciting experience. To prepare for muck diving, it’s essential to understand the local conditions and marine life at each site. For example, Anilao in the Philippines is known for its strong currents, so it’s crucial to have proper training and equipment. In Bali, Indonesia, the water can be murky, so a good dive light or macro camera can make all the difference. When diving in Alor, Indonesia, it’s essential to respect the local marine life and not touch or disturb them.
