Our Story
It was back in November 2019 when we first met. A common friend had introduced us while we happened to be staying at the same dive resort in Anilao, Batangas. We said hi, had a few laughs, then parted. We continued to keep in touch over the course of the next two years, messaging one another about dogs and diving- the two things that we loved most in the world.
This continued on and off until sometime during 2021 when we decided to bite the bullet and finally went on a date. It wasn’t a phenomenal date by any means (we were still in the middle of a pandemic, after all) but one thing was for sure and that was that we had obvious chemistry between us. And the rest is history.
