[cyndirelleful]

@mactandoc1

Enchanted River by ek (3-13-2003) The stillness of your water is a silent roar sung by a distant soul. The enigmatic expression of your deep hole is the alluring language of blithe spirits in multitude. The varying hues of your brackish water is the rarest masterpiece painted in the gleam of blissful dream. The boulder of rocks embraced by stooping trees Are your fierce armored knights waking day by day. The narrow abyss found underneath Is a gateway to another world so free... really free.

[seaboo143]

@mactandoc1 why is it called enchanted river?

[mactandoc1]

@seaboo143 - Good question! I know about the place only this past February. I forgot to ask the Hiantuan authorities. Will do.

[mactandoc1]

@seaboo143 : According to Ferdinand Barrios, Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator of Hinatuan, Enchanted River was a title of the poem written by a native of the area, dedicated to a lass from the area that he was courting. This was before there was any access road to the spring, where the only way to get to the spring is by boat coming from the mouth of the river 600 meters away.

[seaboo143]

@seaboo143 thanks for the info.. :)

[seaboo143]

@seaboo143 how deep is the river?

[menchiesyting]

so nice talaga

[DaoMingChoi]

[trebuntou]

Doc, More video pa po... (^_^)

[mactandoc1]

@trebuntou Hi Treb, I will make a video of Pawod (Freshwater) Underwater Cave here in Mactan that I discovered in 2004. I will send you a message when it's up.

[bidetik]

really nice dive doc.

I will be in the Phills for cave diving in a couple of weeks and want to do some good dives.

Can you pass me your email?

[mactandoc1]

@bidetik

[mactandoc1]

@bidetik hi, somehow, every time I post my email address, my response comes out "error, try again". Maybe it's somewhere in my youtube preference. Give me yours and I will email you.

[hakawaija]

I will visit this place this July on my vacation. I don't know the exact direction from Surigao city to this place. Sad to say Car GPS locator does not include philiipines.

[mactandoc1]

@hakawaija I am not from the area myself. Maybe you can try get in touch with your travel agent.

[hakawaija]

@mactandoc1 : Indeed, I will try to contact my local travel agent as soon as arrive in the Philippines. I think I will love this place. This time I will spend my time travelling south.

[katig1960]

@hakawaija from surigao city or butuan city you must be heading towards bislig city . before bislig city is hinatuan

[msyrialle]

We've been at Enchanted River last March 14, 10. How deep is that river?

[mactandoc1]

@msyrialle : It is 27 meters to the bottom

of the pool, 48 meters inside the

chamber, then unknown depth from

there - huge cave.

[EBG0830]

Doc, is that you on the piano?

[mactandoc1]

I would like to say YES! since YouTube is threatening to withdraw and mute my unauthorized use of George Winston's "Ocean Dreams"
