Ezzdive Freediving – Panglao Trip 2026 with Jack Fish Storm

In 2026, for our first freediving trip, we went to Panglao in the Philippines.

Panglao is well-known as a freediving spot. Not only are there loads of fun dive sites, but the location also gives it great conditions—making the sea perfect for deep freediving training. For this trip, we spent about half a day doing training, and the rest of the time was all about fun diving at different dive sites. And one itinerary we were especially excited about was seeing the Jackfish Storm.

Ever since we first heard about it, swimming through a jackfish storm has always been on our bucket list. In the past, we always thought seeing a massive group of fish up close like that would be something really out of reach. We also heard from friends that they tried to see it twice and still couldn’t spot it. So this time, we went with an open mind—if we didn’t see it, we’d just enjoy the coral and the sea turtles anyway 😂

Of course, seeing marine life always means getting up early. And this day was no exception. We got up at 5am, and at 6am we met at the beach and boarded the boat. The ride was super quick—about 30 minutes—and we arrived at Balicasag, a protected island just off Panglao. Even though it wasn’t even 7am yet, the water around the island was already full of boats carrying snorkelers, scuba divers, and freedivers.

We were starting to think we’d be waiting a while before we found the jackfish—then about 20 minutes later, the boatman spotted not just one, but two schools of Jackfish. Before we even jumped in, he taught us how to approach the school in the gentlest way possible. The moment I dropped into the water, I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes. I’ve never seen a school of fish that big so close—right under my feet. I took a deep breath and dove down to find them.

The Jackfish Storm usually happens around 10–15 meters deep. We slowly swam into the school, and they spread out—really slowly, really gracefully. Then, when we reached the right depth and started to pause, the jackfish began to come back together again, reorganizing into a circle and swimming around us. At that moment, we were right in the eye of the fish storm—360 degrees, everywhere you looked, it was fish. The view was so 🥹… truly mind-blowing and deeply moving. Seriously—this is one of those experiences you have to try at least once in your life. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

I used to watch other freedivers’ photos and videos of the Jackfish Storm and think, “Wow, that must be really hard to do.” But it turns out, once you’re willing to take that first step, it’s not actually as unreachable as it seems. And that means—another item gets checked off our life bucket list!

Is anyone else interested in going with us to experience the Jackfish Storm? We’d happily take you to see it again and again, because it’s just so fun! 🥰

2026 嘅第一個freediving trip我地比左菲律賓嘅Panglao.

眾所周知, Panglao 係一個自由潛水聖地。Panglao 除左有好多fun dive 嘅熱點之外，仲因為佢嘅地理優勢，呢度嘅海況非常適合自由潛水嘅深度訓練。
今次呢個trip，我地除左用左一半日子去做training之外，其餘時間當然就係要做下遊客，去唔同fun dive spot朝聖一下啦！其中一個我地最期待嘅行程，
就係去睇Jackfish Storm.

同魚群風暴游水，一直都係我地嘅bucklet list上面。
以前一直覺得見到咁大群魚，係一件好遙遠嘅事，同埋聽過朋友講，佢地嘗試去睇兩次都睇唔到。
所以今次去搵Jackfish, 都係抱住平常心，就算睇唔到，就當去睇下珊瑚同海龜啦 😂

每次睇海洋生物都係要好早起身，當然今次都唔例外！
我地 5am起身，6am係海灘集合上船。船程非常快，短短30分鐘，我地就到達 Balicasag, 一個 Panglao對出嘅受保護小島。
雖然到達嘅時候7am都未夠, 但圍繞着小島嘅海上面，已經泊滿分別載住snorkelers, scuba divers, 同freedivers嘅船。

當以為要唔知等幾耐先會發現到Jackfish魚群之際，大概 20分鐘左右，船家已經發現到兩群Jackfish!
係落水之前，船家亦都教左我地要點樣用最溫柔嘅方法去approach魚群。
一跳落水，我真係唔敢相信自己嘅眼睛！我一生人入面真係未見過咁大群魚係我腳下面。吸一大啖氣，我就潛左落去搵佢地喇。

Jackfish storm通常會逗留喺10-15米水深左右。
我地慢慢游入魚群，佢哋亦好慢、好優雅咁散開。
當到達適當水深，慢慢停係度嘅時候，Jackfish們又會開始游返埋，重組成一個魚圈，圍繞住我地去游。
呢個時候，我地已經處身係一個魚風暴嘅風眼當中，360度都係魚，
呢個視覺🥹。。。。震撼同感動程度，真心一生人一定要體驗最少一次！🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 

以前成日睇到其他freedivers 同jackfish storm影嘅相、拍嘅片，都會覺得見到jackfish storm呢件事好似好難。
但原來有啲野，只要我地肯踏出一步，其實真係唔係想像中咁遙不可及！
就係咁，我地人生bucketlist入面又可以剔多一格喇！

有冇人想同我地一齊去感受下jackfish storm嘅震撼？
我絕對可以陪大家去睇多好多好多次！因為真係太好玩喇 🥰
