Boayan Bay, Daplac

Overview

In this episode of "Wreck Hunters", hosts Ernie Lopez and Wowie Wong meet some of the vanguards of the waters of Boayan Bay, San Vicente, Palawan. Ditchay and Philippe Girardeau's "love story" has always revolved around their shared love and passion for the oceans. After settling down in what they consider paradise, they literally fought their way to the hearts and minds of local fishermen in their efforts to spread the concept of environmental sustainability. With the help of both the private and public sectors, and an interesting twist of fate, the Boayan Bay artificial reef system was born. Who would've thought that a burning fishing vessel would turn out to be one of the most relevant wrecks to be hunted?
