Cebu has several known spots for diving that showcases an undeniably gorgeous under water world. But the fact that not all of us know how to scuba dive and considering the cost of such activity, you might want to try the more affordable version of it, Freediving.

This will be the ultimate thrill in this list and that's saving the best for last (lol). How will you describe the feeling of jumping off the plane 10,000 feet above ground? That for me is very scary. But don't you worry because you will be jumping together with a professional sky diver. All you need to do is be still, muster the courage, enjoy the fall (lol again) and let the professional do the job of landing on the ground safe..
