Cong. Velasco fun dives at Gaspar Is.

Cong. Lord Allan Velasco takes time out from his busy schedule to fun dive at Gaspar Island in Gasan.













Velasco and fellow divers set foot on Gaspar Island.








This excellent divesite, one of Velasco's favorites, offers this underwater sight. In between Gaspar and the mainland, a sunken Chinese commercial junk was the subject of the only underwater excavation undertaken in Marinduque.

Recovered here once by a joint team of National Museum and MAUI, a foreign salvage group, were numerous Ming dynasty porcelain plates, jars, skillets and others.
