Where are the best snorkeling sites in the Visayas, Philippines?

My girl and I are going to be in the Philippines in July. We’ll be contending with the rainy season, but we’re hoping to do a lot of snorkeling (NOT scuba diving) when the sun comes out. Where are the best places to snorkel in the Visaya islands?

Apo Island, Moalboal Cebu, Bohol and many many more.

Mactan is not a good place to snorkel the water is very unhealthy.

Have you ever thought of doing SCUBA? You can take a short class called Resort Dive via PADI and do a simple safe dive in less than 5m of water.

    Snorkeling would be best in Palawan o Bohol islands. The offer great coral reefs, colorful fishes, everything you look for snorkeling. and Visayas has other islands to go to and are very cheap and nearby. but the ones above would offers great sites and easy to go to so you and your girl would really enjoy the whole experience.
