Default Snorkeling video, Coron Philippines

Doing the Coron Island tour (B) and one of the stops was at a place called the Reef Garden. Little disappointed when first jumped off the boat as there's fresh water springs so water distorted but eventually cleared up. What impressed me the most on this stop was how blue some of the corals where and the size of some of the table acros (6 feet plus).

Snorkeling Video

Big thing for Coron is the wreaks so planning a few dives for Friday.

Really puts in to perspective how much captive reef keeping and the art of bonsai have in common. Those colonies were huge!

Sounds like Yolanda (Super Typhoon) tracked over Coron so lots of damage to the reefs but still is something what you can see just from floating on the surface. Every time I do this though I'm torn; it's either want to go home and work on the tank or just shut it down as really I can never come close to a reef.

So far done a couple of the day tours so stopped on a few other reefs, the Skeleton Wreck, the hidden lagoon plus Kayangan and Barracuda Lakes. Thinking hike up the hill tonight followed by the hotsprings but still trying to decide for remaining days. Maybe kayaking the mangroves then not sure, any suggestions?

cool video. I was in Palawan just in March and had a blast snorkeling. Tabling acros are bigger than a king size bed and I saw a clam as big as my desk in the office.
