Coron (for reefs and shipwrecks) AMAZEBALLS!
El Nido (for picture perfect and jaw-dropping cliffs)

Hoping to see Apo Reef and Tubbataha Reef. If budget permits!

grabe ang ganda ng Lusong Coral Garden sa Coron!! the best snorkeling site sa Coron!

by the way, we're originally planning to go on a snorkeling trip to Apo Island as part of our Siquijor-Dumaguete trip kaso nag-dalawang isip ako when i read here na sira pala ang marine sanctuary... sadness! kasi aside from the sea turtles, i was hoping to get to go to some really good snorkeling sites as well... any suggestions on snorkeling sites sa Siquijor-Apo Island-Dumaguete area?

kasi kung sea turtles lang, sa ibang destination na lang siguro kami pupunta na mas maraming snorkeling sites.

Yung marine sanctuary ay sira raw talaga. It'll take years to rehabilitate it. Pero marami pa ring magagandang snorkeling spots sa Apo Island.

sis, so alin yung mga magagandang snorkeling spots sa Apo Island?

[kikay iska]

Coron reefs/shipwrecks/lagoons, Balicasag in Bohol, and Apo Reef

moalboal, cebu - magaganda ang mga corals, may mga kakaibang isda akong nakita, may mga pawikan at limpak limpak na sardines. kahit snorkeling lang panalo na.

[matetreyes]

apir sa moalboal! LIMPAK-LIMPAK is really the term. wala pang planktons!

[meimei]

^^oh that's encouraging!! Akala ko kasi pang-diving lang ang Moalboal. Eh i don't dive..

Yey! So i can now inlude Moalboal in my snorkeling bucket list!

[rocky]

^yes & highly recommended namin si kuya dodong (boatman). sobrang maasikaso & kumpleto ng gamit. malaki yong boat & may CR pa. ok din kung sa panagsama kayo mag-stay, panget sa basdaku mukhang pera mga tao don. imagine, dumaan lang kami kasi don naka-dock boat namin siningil pa kami ng 10 pesos magkakasama kami nila sis matetreyes & shegothim

[shegothim]

meimei, di lang sya pang diving. iyong feelings ko dati for apo reef mas matindi pa dito sa moalboal. grabe panalo talaga ang corals doon.

[matetreyes]

Sobrang limpak limpak talaga ang isda, pawikan, corals at kung ano-ano pa dito sa moalboal. yung sardines, nakakakilig talaga! ang surreal! nasa shore lang ng panagsama yong sardines na yun. sa basdaku, overrated eh ang panget naman ng beach. mas maganda pa yung Lambug Beach.

[meimei]

Oh wow!! The feedbacks of the three of you make me want to go there RIGHT NOW!! Hahaha!

But correct me if i'm wrong, there's only one recommended snorkeling site in Moalboal? I mean, unlike Coron that has several good snorkeling sites?

[shegothim]

sa pescador island, panagsama at sa basdaku magandang magsnorkeling

[rocky]

^^magkakalapit lang yong area na yon sis. di tulad sa ibang lugar na boat ride pa lang nakakapagod na. inuna namin yong malayo which is pescador island. from basdaku, 25 minutes lang then pabalik yong turtle sanctuary then sardine run as in nasa tapat lang sya ng panagsama beach. pag summer daw sabi ni kuya as in sobrang dami nila na halos umaabot na sa pampang & last sa basdaku. more on swimming dito & resto/carinderia na pwede magpaluto. nakabili kami ng pugita na bagong huli & pinaluto namin

[matetreyes]

saka yung route namin parang pa-intense -- yung sa pescador medyo chill lang (pero gandang ganda na kami at manghang mangha pero sabi nila kuya wala pa daw yun). true enough pagdating sa pawikan, ayun na nga ang bonggang underwater! para lang kami nanonood ng video ng nat geo habang nag-snorkeling. then sa sardines, nakakasigaw sya! then back to chill na sa basdaku

Apo Reef!
