American Boys Get Scuba Certified?/ Donsol, Philippines

- We woke up early to travel to Donsol where the boys are going to get Scuba Certified so we can scuba dive as a family, and hopefully see whale sharks and manta rays! Our flight from Manila left bright and early so we had to wake up at 2:00 in the morning. At the airport, we had all kinds of adventures. Heather was taken to an interrogation room and was asked about the aerosol spray (hairspray and sunscreen) that was in the bag. The bag passed inspection and she was able to come back to the family.
Then, we were called again to the desk and they asked why we didn't go get on the bus yet. We thought we were in the right place but found out we had to take a bus ride for a bit to get to the plane that was outside. We were the last ones on the plane and we were grateful we made it. On the plane, we found out that all of our seats were apart from each other, which would be a problem, especially for our two little kids. They helped us figure out all of that rigamarole and we were off.
When we arrived in Legaspi, we were picked up and taken to Donsol. After a quick tour of our hotel rooms, the boys were off ready to start their scuba certification from Bicol Dive Shop. Their instructor, Rodel, was fantastic. He was lots of fun and really taught the boys well. They were able to do some of the training submerged in the water for about half an hour. They did a fantastic job, so it took only about half of the time.
When we all got home we took some much-needed naps and then enjoyed some delicious dinner at the hotel. It was a long, eventful day!

I love how you managed to travel and enjoy your big family.It's admirable.
Hope you see fireflies there too. Since you're in the region, go see Mayon Volcano, the world's most beautiful. It's larger and has a more perfect cone than Mt. Fuji. It's fun to drive 3 wheeled dirt bikes there and you can even hike up Mayon, even sleep on an active volcano.
Love this family. Let’s get it to 10k and beyond guys
Looking forward for your more family adventures.
You're kids is unreal they really behave well. Salute to your good upbringing even little Grace doesnt displays tantrums even if she's not feeling well . Youre wonderful family is close, easy going and very down to earth. You & your hubby does very well in parenting, very admirable!. Be safe but Enjoy your stay here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and God bless
You are so kind! Thank you!
Amen to this.
I completely agree, good upbringing. I love and enjoy watching your family having fun in the Philippines.
God Bless you and your familu
I love your positive response to the early morning 'adventures.'

the boys look so good in their rashguards esp Sam
The kids are amazing! 💯💯💯💯
It's me again, Adrian.. i'm watching your videos.. very nice.. guys, let support their channel.. thank for visiting our country.. :)
Mom & Gracey, Sam & Jake, Dad & Jojo ..... oh no! you left Bennnnnyyy hahahahah. Gotta admit, Sam in that white with pink lining rash guard is 🔥 I feel so sad for Jake not being able to get scubafied 😥 Gracey with that cute little bun 😍
Thank you for sharing this video. Bicol Dive Center and the team are happy to have you here in our town. 😊
The diving experience is epic foe your teenage boys.
Donsol has whale sharks, too.
Hi Backman family watching here Newark California really enjoyed every single video you had,specially the kid jojo.Such a wonderful family and I amazed so much each every one of you You make my day happy every time I watching your videos. Pls make your videos more longer maybe 30 mins or less Enjoy and more beautiful places to offer you..
Thanks so much
I think here in Dumaguete, it is a bit pricey for diving training, but more advance, plus kids could visit the first American University in Asia. Other than Donsol and Mayon, there are more to discover in the Bicol region.
In kawasan falls in cebu so much adventure
You guys are amazing!! Thank you so much for visiting our country. #MABUHAY 🌈❤🇵🇭🇺🇸
Take care have fun🇵🇭🇵🇭💗
You have a wonderful and beautiful family. Have fun and always be safe.
Welcome to the philippines and have some fun while staying in the philippines❤️❤️❤️
So sad it must have been cloudy that you missed the majestic view of Mayon Volcano upon touchdown at the Bicol Airport. Be sure not to miss it when you return to depart as its near perfect cone symmetry is a sight to behold in itself.
Hi im so excited to watvh again your wonderful blog. The children so cute and funny. I love your blog happy family. I hope stay long on your adventure. Godbless.
I am glad you take the good with the bad, and just keep your sense of humor despite what difficulties you have to get through.
That tuk tuk you call,,for us Filipinos we call it Tricycle
or trike
Yah. Sa Thailand lang yang tuktuk.
Yeah totally different sa tuktuk
God bless Backman family,your kidz are amazing.They really love diving.Take care.
Thanks so much
the vehicle is similar to "tuktuk" of thailand . but here in the philippines it's called "Tricycle" because of it has only three wheels . we use this vehicle to go to a market and nearby streets or roads .
OMG! That’s a lot of luggage. Enjoy your vacation in the Philippines.
Pork bun or Siopao is always available at all 7-11s.
They take extra precautions bc a plane could crash due to flammable items including batteries.Believe x-rays at airports in the Philippines are not quite as high tech as the ones they have in the States.
Really enjoying your Philippine travel series so far! Such amazing content! Your choice of music made every vlog very light, enjoyable to watch, and highly addicting to binge-watch! You guys are really talented content creators! Can't wait to see how your channel evolves and which adventure you are off to next. Be safe and have fun!
Thanks so much!!
Beautiful Backman Family. If you’re still in Bicol Region you should try Bicol Express. It’s their specialty Filipino dish. Not sure if you’ve heard of Pili nuts? It’s so so good and full of rich nutrients. Have fun and ingat you all 🙏
Thanks for the tips!
good morning guys. enjoy
omg grace is so adorable..godbless to all of you.may our almighty god keep you safe always🙏🙏🙏🤩🤩🤩
Hope you could try the atv adventure ride near the volcano 🙂
Welcome to my Region. Bicol region has a lot to offer. And since you are already in Sorsogon I wish you can also Visit Albay where the Mayon Volcano is located. Sam is looking great. A handsome young man indeed. I was laughing hard though when he said our parents are sleeping because that’s what they love to do 😂. But with all of the Kids I love Ben’s personality.He is just charming and bubbly. 😊
Why am i smiling a lot when watching your video? Thanks for sharing us your videos.
Enjoy and have fun, keep safe everyone. God bless your family.
thats so cool happy scuba diving guys.stay safe.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! 🤍 and for choosing Bicol Scuba Diving School as your dive centre for your certification ☺️ God bless!
Wow what fun day you guys , so exciting . Have you been to Siargao island? They can Surf there.
Sounds fun!
I was wondering maybe one of your sons like to live in the Philippines someday. Enjoy your staying in our country.
I had to look up where Donsol is. but it looks beautiful. Looks like you all did well with the extra early flight despite the little hiccups along the way. Watching for more fun things tomorrow!

Pilipinos call the three wheeler vehicle as tricycle not tuktuk. 😄🇵🇭
I think tuktuk is in Thailand or in lndia.

The Ticao group of islands, Burias Island, Caramoan Island, the subic beach (pink beach). Hope you enjoy your stay in the bicol region. Safe travels for your family and God bless🙏
Thank you!
That airport experience was worth blogging so everyone is aware of the messed up system those airports have. Anyone else would have been freaking out and cussing like hell.
Nice vlog. 👍🏼❤️
First ♥️🍷cheers
Guys! awaiting to reach 10K subs Enjoy your vacation in the Philippines!

Beautiful family

If you can drive in the Philippine road, you can drive anywhere
The kids are amazing
Hopefully one day I can travel with my family too like you guys 😍
On the side of Greenbelt, theres Ayala Museum which shows our history in dioramas
Traveling is not easy especially you are not just two people, the packing and all the prepping
My mother is from sorsogon sorsogon ? But I was born in Manila ! My mom and dad met in Manila , then here I am ! Without my father and mother , I won't be exists and having a son that will be working to a great company of vice President brother of Japan Taro Aso
10:45 You should check out the Rice Terraces up north. Although not sure how the kids will feel about the hike. Banaue has a viewpoint that can be driven to though...
Sam's leg part got a tan now 😂

Welcome to the Bicol Region.
It's a pity you guys didn't ask Finn Snow (@FinnSnow) for scuba diving certificate. He is qualified and he recently opened a diving centre with his friends. 🙂
Another great vlog 🙂
They probably do not even know Finn.
Its more fun in the philippines❤❤❤
Oh I thought the comedian was Joe Koy hahaha
Yah it's very cold and windy her in bicol
Rice fields but if you and your family wants to see the rice terraces need to go to Baguio..
Hi cutie grace🥰🥰
How I wish my parents listens when I talk, they always don't want me to finish my thought.
Wow you visit albay bicol,
