DANGER ALERT!

i just remembered something. When i went for coxswain trainingn at IDESS sbma a few months ago the instructor told us they do not allow any training in the water in sbma anymore. The reason were 1.) Too many jelly fish, and the last accident resulted into very serious injury. According to them the news was "black out" from the public to protect the tourism business in subic bay. They also said it happens frequently; 2) Sharks! Since subic bay was declared a marine sanctuary there are more fish, so more fish attracted more sharks. They said the specie prevalent in subic are bull sharks, known to attack humans.

this is also true in bataan. My friend stayed at Anvaya cove for a week last summer and he said they now have a net around the beach to keep sharks away. There are also divers that survey the enclosed area every morning to check for jelly fish. The whole week they were there the RED FLAG was up for jelly fish, no swimming was allowed on the beach.

not trying to scare anyone, just a word of caution.
