Hello mga sis! Gusto ko din itry ang Moalboal tuloy! ahahah
So far kasi,
Coral Garden in Coron is nice, table corals, flower corals, everywhere. hehe
Balicasag island is my favorite. Super alat ng tubig madali magfloat ahaha. tapos malinis ang tubig.
siete Pecados in Coron madami ding fishes, may snake pa nga ako nakita. eeeeh!
pero black island is also nice, maalon nga lang challenge talaga. Nakakita ako dun sea horse  ;D
Sa Shimizu naman El Nido malalaki na ang isda. pang ulam na! ahaha  ;) Nakakita din kami ng turtle dun aliw. Sa apo Islang Hitik din sa fish ahaha. Sarap sana magdive kaso wala akong license for that pa  :)
Yung sa crocodile island ng Boracay ang nakakalungkot. may traces ng dynamite fishing. sabog talaga mga corals kawawa at nakakapanghinayang. Pati sa Puerto Galera. Malulusog at friendly pa man ng fishes dun!

i just came from Bohol. nag-enjoy naman ako sa Balicasag. lalo na dun sa may bangin portion kasi mas maganda corals dun (hehe that's how i call the side of the reef, yung palalim na na portion).

but so far, Lusong Coral Garden in Coron is still the best i've seen.

Sa mga napuntahan ko, Coron din is the best for me. Lalo na sa Lusong shipwreck and coral garden. Tsaka sa Banana Island.

Balicasag, medyo nakakalungkot 'yung mga corals na makikita doon kapag float lang pero ang daming fish. Pero noong nag-free dive kami doon sa pailalim na, ang ganda rin pala.

Okay rin sa Apo Island and Puerto Galera. Parang wala pang nagmemention, pero ang ganda rin sa Coral Garden sa Talicud Island sa Samal. Ang colorful ng mga corals and fish.

Goal ko ang Moalboal and Apo Reef. Sana next year makapunta na  :D

since nandito sa thread na to ang mahihilig sa snorkeling, dito na lang ako magtatanong. any specific sites in El Nido na maganda ang snorkeling?

sa sobrang dami ng sites, i wanna know which sites we need to prioritize (goal is to prioritize the sites with good snorkeling). thanks.

btw, sana meron sa inyo na na-try na ang Tour B or D para i can get feedback on good snorkeling sites there. sa El Nido thread kasi di ako masyado makakuha ng feedback. tapos very limited kasi mostly Tour A and C lang nakita nila. kami kasi, we'll have time to do all tours.

^Hi sis, I answered your question in the El Nido thread  ;D

IMO, Cadlao lagoon is the best site for snorkeling. The rest, meh. Sabi nila, sa Shimizu island daw okay. Pero hindi ako masyadong natuwa, mga fish lang na malalaki pero corals wala. Maybe because ang daming tao sobra noong pumunta kami kaya nag-dock yung bangka namin sa medyo malayo sa shore.

Sa may Star beach, Helicopter Island, and Entalula island may snorkeling spots din pero hindi rin ganoon kaganda.

Walang snorkeling sa tour B, caves and beaches siya.

Actually, nasayangan ako sa rent namin sa snorkel ang mask (P450 for 3 days) kasi hindi naman namin siya masyadong nagamit.

El Nido is more on sight seeing, island hopping and beach bumming. Hindi masyado sa snorkeling.

But my officemate said dinala sila ng bangkero nila sa isang snorkeling spot sa gitna ng dagat na soooobrang ganda raw. Hindi niya sure kung saan. And hindi pa siya nakakapunta ng Coron so hindi niya ma-compare. Tinanong ko kasi siya kung Coron-levels ba 'yung ganda dun.

Anyway, enjoy ninyo na lang ang island hopping. Dramatic ang mga islands ng El Nido, iba 'yung effect  :)

Just a few meters from the beach of Pandan Island in Sablayan, Mindoro. Even better snorkeling experience than in Apo Reef, which we did the previous day.

For me balicasag bohol - colorful & vibrant underwater world. Sa lahat ng snorkeling sites napuntahan namin dito talaga kami nakuntento at nag enjoy. :-)

CALUMBUYAN ISLAND in Palawan. Sa lahat ng napuntahan kong snorkeling sites, dito ako manghang-mangha. Mga 10 meters lang mula sa pampang, kitang-kita mo na 'yung makukulay na corals at isda at sirena.  ;D 5 years na ang lumipas pero di ko pa rin makalimutan ang ganda ng sirena CALUMBUYAN ISLAND. Nakulam yata ako.  :P

^parang ang naughty ng reply? lol! :D ANYWAY... i can't believe i missed Calumbuyan Island in my research! sa ka-OC-han kong to, namiss ko yun. tsk tsk tsk. The best snorkeling site during my Coron trip was Lusong Coral Garden. man, i have to go back for Calumbuyan!

sabagay, may balak din ako bumalik sa Coron kasi when i first went there ay wala pa kong underwater cam. i have to go back ngayong meron na ko. ang saya nun! :D

^^i really wasn't satisfied with Balicasag... unless... meron bang area na a bit far off kung saan yung sinasabi niyong magagandang corals? sa may tapat lang kami dinala, yung sangkatutak ang turista. meron bang mas maganda a bit far off?

Hi meimei! Calumbuyan wasn't part of our plan. Medyo maulan lang that day so we decided to postpone our Calauit trip. Hindi usually napupuntahan ang Calumbuyan pero sinuggest nung owner nung bangka namin kaya kami nakarating dun! Best decision sa 7-day stay namin sa Coron!  ;)

Vuhus Island in Batanes. Never thought na possible magsnorkel don dahil akala ko maalon ng bongga pero hindi pala. Payapa ang dagat at ang underwater parang shorter Moalboal!

nagulat ako sa portion na yun, kala ko kasi nasa mababaw lang kame pagtingin ko medyo madilim na yun area and kita ko yun pababa. Don't know how to swim, kaya kahit naka life vest pa nakakakaba paden na medyo malalim na part. Pero maganda.

^lahat buhay, colorful at malalaki yung corals lalo na yung mga table corals. wala lang kami nakitang pawikan pero bawing bawi sa corals at mga isda. Isla Blanca for me ang pinaka-winner sa apat na napuntahan namin (Lopez Reef, Dinamayan Island, Elephant Island)

Snorkeling site of Dos Palmas is the first and the best I ever had!

Okay din sa balicasag in bohol though maraming tao nung nagpunta kami, maraming fishes pa rin as long as you have bread. may malalaki and maliliit na school of fishes!  :)

I also found one in dumaguete as in sa tapat lang ng resort, maglalakad ka lang, pero small fishes lang then ganda ng corals, makulay just like dun sa Dos Palmas, the name of the resort is Sea Dreams
