Fees : Snorkeling set : 150PHP, Guide for 2 people : 250PHP. They don't let you go inside the water if you don't take a guide ...

Okay, let's talk about those Bohol fees. Snorkeling here means shelling out 150 PHP for a set, and a compulsory guide will run you 250 PHP for two people. Honestly, we think the mandatory guide is a bit of a mixed bag; on the one hand, it’s an extra cost, but on the other, they do help you spot things you’d probably swim right past. We’ve found ourselves grateful for their keen eyes pointing out a Marshall Dottyback tucked into a crevice or a Red Squirrelfish peeking from under a coral. You’ll see quite a bit here, from the common Blackstriped Cardinalfish schooling in the shallows to the more elusive Mimic Blenny doing its impression of something less tasty. Keep an eye out for Crazy Fish darting about and the delicate Orange-spotted Starry Goby perched on the sand. It’s a gentle spot, perfect for beginners or anyone who just wants a relaxed float. We often tell friends to go in the morning, before the sun gets too high and the boats start stirring up the sand; the light is better for seeing those shimmering Silver Moonies then. It's a nice, easy entry, no big currents to worry about, just a pleasant swim.
