No money 💰 no problem.
Divesite: "Taal Volcano Crater Lake island"
Taal lake, Batangas, Philippines
Depth: All depthes (dark water)
Distance: 90 minute swim, 90 minute hike, 10 minute swim
Level: Advanced
Risks: boat traffic, dehydration, sunburn, rashes from chemicals in the crator lake
Directions:
Travel to Agoncillo where the swim starts. It's 60 to 90 minutes swimming to Taal Island. Once you arrive turn right and follow the coastline for 20 minutes in till you reach a small concrete pier. From there, find the trail that turns land inwards. Its nice to run Google map while tracking. Eventually you will find a horse trail that leads all the way to the crater lake. From there you can see the crater island a 10 minute swim.

Since it's our FCOA mission to bring people closer to the sea I like to show the places where you can dive for free. Where you can simple swim from shore and find a cool dive spot.
Now if you have some extra money, hire a coach or instructor so you learn faster. Hire a guide because they can show you creatures you have never seen before and you would never find them by your self. Hire a boat to see more in less time with less effort. And if you can afford it, do your research and buy the highest quality, longest lasting, most comfortable and best looking equipment.
But if you, like me today have no money in your pockets, then lets find out how to Hack the dive sites, how to get to them by hiking trough the jungle, by swimming out to them and by using the same fixes boat captains use to get on top.

Wow this is a complete video so your the first one who swims here and this time your just diving that's great.. I will share this video on my wall in FB.
Flying Kell a youtuber from Netherland swam there one week before taal volcano erupted
Fkying Kell was misinformed, level 2 was raised that time and several tremors were recorded even before he swam
SKL

Amazing dive brother! Welcome to the Philippines
This beautiful Volcano is now at Alert level 4. Beautiful but deadly.
Like you ..
@@midnight-dh4sw lol
i'm here after the eruption....
I understood the island is still under lock down. How is it there? Is the inner lake still present?
as per the news its already dried out. the eruption reshaped the whole crater
Thanks
@@jeroenelout no more lake and tons of ashes are everywhere
Jeroen Elout there’s no more lake
I am shocked no one stopped u. I have only seen ppl go by boat to the top. I know there is another more expensive tour to bottom. But never expected someone to swim across
From the side I approached no tourists are expected so no one tries to stop and sell you anything
@@jeroenelout lol awesome man.
it's erupting now.
@@Jessysandrino omg I feel so lucky to have seen it all quiet when I went there 2 months ago. Although even then the soil was warm in some spots
@@kevins3646 well, lucky enough. It will take months to restore the natural beauty of Taal
Alert Level one when you swam there its so dangerous.
1 Minor volcanic unrest, Not that bad
neil A she should study earth science
February pa 'yan😑
It’s nice to see this video of yours😊 btw i am from Agoncillo😅 it is almost a year since Taal Volcano erupted and all i can say is everything was changed😅
Thanks for the kind words. Are people living there again?
@@jeroenelout yes sir, some people living in our area has to move to another place because of arising of water in the taal lake and their houses is sink under the water. Luckily our house is a little bit far from the lake. We are hoping that taal volcano is totally sleeping again and not erupted the second time around even though it is under Level 1 as of today.
even fish and snakes are afraid to swim on that lake they know its dangerous
May I know how fish and snakes can be in the crater lake in the first place aside from people bringing them there?
hello kailan nagkaroon na nagkaisda sa Main Crater lake? sulfuric lake yan
Hey bird ? What kind of bird are you?😂😂😂
Bird: hey man what kind of man are you ? 😂😂😂
OMG you actually swam to Vulcan Island? Wow, well alert level 1 was raised maybe a month after that. Interesting
Nature heals itself. Taal will be beautiful again a few years from now.
If he swam in February 2019, it is still safe because it is Alert Level 0, but if he swam when Alert Level 1 was already raised he is no longer allowed to swim. However, he should also be aware of risks such as the toxicity of the water. It might not affect him now but the toxic composition of the main. crater lake water will manifest itself not immediately but a few years from now if he ingested some of it. Keep safe dude! Stay healthy and get yourself lab tested once in a while to be sure. Great footage!
JM Agreda 11 months ago na po tong video niya matgal na kung baga.... yung kay flying kelly ang pinakadelikado kc 1week ago bago pumutok ang taal ng swimming sila mismo sa crater ng bulkan
Yung nga sinabi ko...safe sya dito kasi 11 months ago wala pa alert 😊
JM Agreda tska to lumabas na video dhil ng erupt na ang taal last week
Ler me describe it this way 😂
Your went to the Town of Agoncillo then from the bay of Agoncillo you swam towards Volcano Island - the actual Taal Volcano then walked to the right for 20 minutes towards the concrete pier then turned left and hiked towards the crater lake, walked down towards the waters and swam to Vulcan Point Island.
Haven't seen any other swam to Vulcan Point Island, just you sir
Never imagined anyone swimming across Taal Lake to Volcano Island, and then in the Crater Lake to Vulcan Point.
Its been a year since he swam in taal lake, so no worries.
Nice to see the beautiful water and place. Taal Volcano
Someone knows if the horses are getting feeded? I hope they left them free to roam around so they can drink from the lake. But there won't be much ash free grass to eat.
They evacuated some horses and animals who survived, but many got died suffocated and buried in ashes
they are all DEAD, only 1% are rescued
Many animals sadly perished 😢
Keep in mind those are informal settlers living on Taal Island. Their livestocks and their dwellings are prohibited to be there in the first place, as the entire island has already been declared a PERMANENT DANGER ZONE (PDZ) since way before the january eruption happened. The squatters are ubiquitous in the country.
@@islandvibez I feel for those people, in their shoes I might make similar choices. If I would have no money and a family to feed then what to do?
Try our luck in the city of Manila? Also not such a safe place with it's air pollution....I pitty kids growing up in the city weather they are rich or poor.
Or we could go back to the vulcanic island of Taal and live close to the water with an escape raft always ready in the water.
We would have space, could plant crops, breed lifestock and do some fishing. Covid-19 wouldn't get there quickly because most people avoid the place.
Every place we live has risks and benefits. When I saw kids growing up on Taal I was happy for them. It felt like they were living true lives, living outside, riding horses, farming and playing in nature.
Wow you are a legend brother....i would never ever swim in that lake... not anymore since crater lake is gone...
Taal Lake had been evaporated brought by Volcanic Eruption.
Damn. You're a solid swimmer
I'm sure this video became popular after the eruption.
Sometimes beauty is a dangerous thing!
So lucky.. u know there is so many snake inside lake
Nakakamiss ung hitsura ng bulkang taal nung hindi pa to sumasabog..😢😢😢Matagal tagal pa uli bago bumalik sa dating hitsura yan
Taal Volcano Eruption brought me here....done subscribed from #philippines
this guy has balls of steel
That's very dangerous and scary. Do you have company when you did this?
I think he did this alone.
Those birds are Kingfisher..
Good for you Sir, you did it before the eruption Wow that's so cool
What the heck bringing the cat on the middle of the lake 😀😀😀
1:35 maybe that cat didn't survive.
That cat is in the outerlake, so he has drinking water and he sits on a fishfarm so he could eat mortelities.
2019 video
All I can say is a big WOWWWW, you amazed me, how do you feel after you learned that it erupted, coz I have some videos too of taal but it's too far from what you did and had, and feel I lucky enough to witness its beauty before it erupts.
Im just curious what it looks like now
the volcano you swam at erupted today
Talk Seek bobo ka anung was correct kaya yung english nya
dami ko na problema dumagdag pa yung was mo hahahaha
ampot
@@sonotblakee Bobo ikaw Yung toxic tingnan mo muna spelling mo ulol
Grammar pa ang problema mo dito? Umalis ka nga. Nobody needs that right now.
All that water and that tiny island is gone, blown into steam and dust.
😢
Adventure, Great!!!!!! Hope to see more videos from you
That's dangerous, man. It's fine if you do it on inactive maar lakes but don't ever do it in the lake of an active volcano. But I admire your courage and your video is very informative.
wowww...your brave man...u swim in the taal lake...
Don’t think any filipino (except for those living within the lake maybe) has dared or attempted to swim in that lake, it’s sulfuric. 😳
Well, it won't kill you immediately and as long as you'll only bathe there for no longer than 10 mins, you'll be perfectly fine.
Plus this dude literally swimmed all the way to the volcano island, who knows if he's actually superman 😂
@@tfraggins yeah omfg i wouldnt swim even the quarter of that plus sulfur is actually good for skin but not too much
@@tfraggins Lolo
@Oli burrito, foreigners did swim in that lake. Like "Flying Kell" (vlogger), he did swim in that crater lake with his gf a week before the volcano erupted this month. Check his vlog to see it.
Yes, there was. Back in 1997 when we did some field work and did water quality monitoring in the crater lake, we came upon a local swimming in there. We weren't able to talk to him because he swam to Vulcan Point island and when our group left, he was still there. At that time, the water was measured to have a pH of 2.4.
Whos here in january 12 2020 the taal volcano eruption
Who's here after the eruption?
Attention seeker
@@derekpajarin1854 para lang madami mag comments at mag like sa comment nya. Wag ka din bobo okey?
@@derekpajarin1854 yan yung ibig kong sabhin
You dont have to call someone an attention seeker just because your content doesn't have even one like
@@derekpajarin1854 english english kapa mukha kang tanga.
Beautiful TAAL before the eruption❤
Oh you are the other blogger who swam inside the taal lake 😋🇵🇭✌️
*Everybody gangsta until water starts exploding*
Brave man u are!
Nice experience guys to swim Taal volcano? Hope so...🌋🤗🤗🇵🇭welcome here! Also swim to our beaches like palawan,boracay and etc..🏝🏝🏊♂
When did you swim on Taal lake?
FYI, theres a species of a venomous freshwater snake living in the waters of taal.
Interesting, what's the name of the species
@@jeroenelout Jeroen, it has multiple common names, but the scientific name is Hydrophis semperi
. I really admire your audacity in just going for it and swimming across Lake Taal (a lake formed by volcanic activity) in a country different from your own! Lol I'm surprised you didnt sink from the weight of your balls.
But not in the crater. Snakes cant survive in the sulfuric water.
great experience to swam there before it erupted
damnnn u swam all the way up to volcano, hack the system lol
So did you swim in the actual volcano.?
Brave man
Andito ako dahil sa eruption ng taal..hindi pa nauubos alikabok dto halos mga bumabyahe nakamask
Please visit Mayon here in Bicol too. 😉
You should be aware of the sulfur dioxide in the water right?
Maybe I should. It has a faint smell and bites in the wounds a bit. No after effects.
This Idiot DID NOT know... Now he knows this idiot...
@@jeroenelout dude do you live in the phils?
Yes I live there
@@jeroenelout near Taal? hope you are fine and the thousands of families also near the vulcano
The visibility of the water in the Crater Lake is very very poor...i wonder if its real hot in there.
They measure ground deformations with laser instrument accuracy to help forecast possible eruptions . These are monitoring equipments .
Mr Elout you are a darn good swimmer!
This is the mouth of taal volcano?
That last little island called Vulcano peak island is in the center of the Vulcanic crater lake.
Nag recomend sakin sa inyu?
03:35 looks like they figured it out last week - Jan 12,2020
It's erupting now!!!!! January 12 2020
Oh yes
The earth just pop her pimple so it cost eruption
I hope the government should banned any foreigners tourist not to swim in any of Philippine volcanoes.
Do you think banning this kind of informative videos are not helpful to anyone? Crab mentallity!
It's okay to swim on that crater lake that time. There was no alert level, level 1 was raised a month after he swam or after this video got posted. It really depends on the kind of crater lake, Laguna Province's 7 lakes are also crater lakes but swimming is allowed there but yeah with precautions like you need to wear life vest and not swim for long period of time.
woh you swam there before it's erupted. your so brave sir.
i missed this one. i briefly swam the crater lake of mt pinatubo - and destroyed my stomach in the process hehe - back ni '09 but never had the inclination to hike taal volcano for some reason. i guess that's one regret i'll have.
Wow! You are brave! How did you destroy your stomach
Sana this year mahigit na ipag bawal na kahit sino ang pumunta dyan .at alerto na mga security gard dyan para sa kaligtasan ng lahat. Malay natin may ron inihagis sa loob ng Vulcan sanhi ng pag sabog. Para maidagdag sa problema ng pangulo.Kaya dapat pagbawalan na puntahan yan.sorry yan kc nasautak ko.hehe
Tnx this awesome
Vedio .
Great video!
(0:45) it is one of 47 craters and all of those you see are part of taal volcano my friend
You are lucky sir but it sure is crazy being there alone on your own.
Ur the first i've seen who had dived there.
Yeah
That water is all gone now.
U really did swim all de way owh wooow ur soo great
Now its gone, the beautiful island and clear water...very Sad😭😭
You lucky guy! All of that beauty is gone now.... 😞....
Few days of rain and nature will start recovering.
Amazing! ❤️👏
We hiked up the main crater in August 2019. We saw a lot of steaming spots on our way up. It was so beautiful up there tho! Here's my drone video:
ua-cam.com/video/7__Rhgyrq_g/v-deo.html
cant say anything ... .
while u wer swiming in there...
brave dude
Wow amazing thanks for sharing this vedio ...... its not dangerous?
Now im motivated to swim there 🤤
Go for it, there is nothing quiet like it
Jeroen Elout sadly the volcano erupted
Lake is gone now.
Butter yes, sadly
@@RigelluxMusic in my mind not sadly, if we didn't have volcanic activity we would not exist. No volcanoes equals no magnetic field.
AT 5:34 when he actually free dived inside the crater lake. Who knew all this water will be vaporized?
Wow...you are so lucky!!
Your wrong, Please searh about the taal, 1911 erupted the small crater that you pointed out, taal volcano has more or less 47 creaters
Interesting, thanks for pointing that out
Wooow beautiful
Guys, did the volcano eat him or is he still alive?
Yeah I'm still alive, I haven't heard of any human casualties yet.
Subscribed! 🙂
Brave guy
I hope that taal will beautiful again after 1year
Woah 😲
hooooooy may syokoy jn
You are so lucky to experience this. Its was beautiful.
Give that man 2 beers🍻
So sad taal volcano erupted, its really a wonderful place
woahhhhhh
I think the hot part of the crater was the main crater over 40 plus crater of that taal.
the whole lake is the main one
Sending u my hug ❣❣❣
Now there is no water left only fissures.
Very nice volcano but its dangerous
