At last, Carbin Reef! after almost a year of wishing to be in this place. Good thing the month of August 2009 was full of Monday holidays. This was my only chance to go to places overnight without compromising other commitments.
Carbin Reef is also known to be the Sagay Marine Reserve Sanctuary. It has a huge, tongue-shaped, creamy white sandbar. No trees. So, don't forget your sunblocks and umbrella.
Its clear water is perfect for swimming, boating, jet-skiing and snorkeling. That's why, you must be equipped with the necessary swimming gears, especially the goggles. In fact, it's my first time to see a sting ray. I mean live one from the wilds. I always see it for sale along the street in Tigbauan, Iloilo or displayed in Ocean Park.
We arrived around 3pm from Molocaboc Island. Since it was an unplanned trip, there were only five of us plus the guide. We had at least three hours of intense swimming and photo-ops. We left around 6pm, to see how the sunset would cast its darkness in Sagay. Since, its zero amenities there, we left wet. We just dried up in the boat. It took at least 30minutes from the reef to Old Sagay port. Had dinner at Enteng's. Then, finished off swimming at the pool of Balay Kauswagan, a hostel owned by the Sagay City government. Then, had a goodnight sleep enough for us to be ready for the following day's adventure and trip back to Iloilo City.
