Here are 5 of the best snorkeling spots in the Philippines that are sure to give you a treat of what lies beneath the pristine waters of this archipelago.

APO ISLAND, DUMAGUETE

Being a volcanic island at the Southeastern tip of Negros Oriental, Apo Island is indeed exploding with a diverse marine life. It has become a rather famous attraction in the said province simply because of the fact that it offers so much scenery under its waters. But apart from the rich coral tables that it cradles, Apo Island also allows you to mingle and swim with the most gentle and graceful creatures of the oceans--turtles. A sure hit among children and adults, a snorkeling adventure in Apo Island will surely be an unforgettable one.

SIETE PECADOS, CORON

Recently hailed as Conde Nast’s 3rd Best Island in Asia, Palawan is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Puerto Princesa Subterranean River. But apart from this, it is also where you can find the most amazing beaches and tropical spots. One of its popular destinations, Siete Pecados in Coron holds an abundance of marine life that make you feel as if you were living in the world of “Finding Nemo.” Swim with schools of fish that playfully rush through the turquoise waters and experience the joy of being one with the sea at this amazing snorkeling site.

SANDUGAN MARINE SANCTUARY, SIQUIJOR

Dubbed as the Mystic Island, Siquijor used to have a reputation that branded them of having people practicing the dark arts of voodoo. The stereotype has long faded away but with its numerous snorkeling spots, Siquijor remained a bewitching destination, especially to those who would love to explore beneath the waters. With marine sanctuaries such as Sandugan Marine Sanctuary, you’ll never run out of options to witness lush sea grass and colorful corals that serve as home to a thriving marine biodiversity. You’ll also never have to worry about swimming in its seas because the waters are always fairly calm.

SUNKEN CEMETERY, CAMIGUIN

Journey through the bluest waters of Camiguin and be introduced to a vast underwater life that’s brimming with beauty. Apart from giant clams, colorful fishes, and booming marine life, this island is also home to the famous sunken cemetery. According to the municipality’s history, the sunken cemetery used to be above a normal graveyard but was submerged in water after a series of eruption of Mt. Vulcan. Since then the cemetery has ironically provided life to various marine species converting the graveyard into a one of a kind snorkeling spot.

PEARL FARM BEACH RESORT, DAVAO

An exciting retreat from the busy metropolis of Davao, Samal Island is home to some of the country’s best beaches and snorkeling sites just like Pearl Farm Beach Resort. Originally a place where giant clams are cultured to produce the biggest pearls, this resort now offers a variety of activities including a snorkeling adventure. Get up close with the giant clams and be immersed in its crystal waters. Bear witness to the rich underwater life it presents featuring corals, fishes, colonies of sea urchins, and of course, giant clams. This Samal Island beach resort’s waters also hold a shipwreck that has become a sort of natural marine sanctuary.
