MACTAN · THE HILUTUNGAN CHANNEL

FREE DIV ING

Mactan is ringed by reef: a turquoise flat of sand and coral, then the drop-off into the Hilutungan Channel. This is the water we build into our games, from the freediving spot at Hadsan beach to the reef off Isda's village.

LAB

FREEDIVING OCEAN LAB

Budots Media's 2023 long-fin freediver, re-rigged in Blender with four fins and put into the ocean from Isda: an FFT swell, water that takes the red out of the light first, and caustics and light shafts made by the same waves. Four dive sites and seven freedivers, free in your browser.

ONE BREATH, IN THE GAMES

Under the surface of our browser games, with the sun's caustics on the sand and nothing to install.

The reef flat at Hadsan, and the drop-off into the channel beyond it.

PH Watersports is set on the real shore of Maribago, on Mactan: the Alchemy freediver at her buoy on the reef flat, and a finswimmer on a delta monofin. In Isda, freedivers, spearfishers and scuba divers work the reef off the fishing village while you fish it from a bangka.
