Snorkeling at Hundred Islands Coral Garden


After our cliff diving at Marcos Island, and viewing some of the islands along the way it like the Cathedral Island, our boat have now arrived at the Coral Garden near Quezon Island. The Coral Garden is a part of the waters near Quezon Island which is enclosed by ropes.
When we arrived near the enclosed area, our boat was docked on one of the floating rafts where the ropes are attached.Upon arriving, our boatman explained that the area is enclosed to ensure that boats can't go inside the area so that you can snorkel inside the are without being in danger of getting run over by outrigger boats.

Our boat was docked into onto one of these floating rafts
The water is quite deep O_O
Lots of fishes!
It was around 2PM when we arrived at the Coral Garden and the sun's heat is a bit too overwhelming >.<
That's when I decided to just snorkel around the area where our boat was so that I can hide under it's shade :)

Scared of the sun haha


Fishes would gather every time you drop a piece of bread


When you would visit the Coral Garden, make sure to bring bread or uncooked rice because you would be using it to lure the fishes near you. Just drop it in the water and see a whole lot of fishes swarm near it! I wasn't able to go far in the Coral Garden but one of my friend did and he said that there are more colorful corals and fishes near the center of the garden and there are a lot of giant clams. I was soooo envious, screw you Mr. Sun! >.<

Anyways, once again, the pictures doesn't clearly depict what I saw in real life as it looks water looks murky and not clear in the pictures but in fact it is very clear. I'm talking about you GoPro! >.<

Make sure you visit the Coral Garden when you go visit the Hundred Islands! Just ask your boatman to bring you there as it is just beside Quezon Island.
