Bohol Snorkelling & Macro ?

[Richard H]

Hi guys,

I have a non diving wife and want to do some macro photography in Bohol but also need to keep my wife happy with snorkelling opportunities for her. Ideally she would come on the boat and snorkel while I was underwater.

Any recommendations on where to go ?

Thanks for your help.

Go to Balicasag island for scuba diving and snorkeling.

Please read here:
"Smooth seas in the channel between Cebu and Bohol. The Philippine Siren cruised in the early morning from its anchorage at Pangangan Island to the popular tourist island of Balicasag.
A great morning dive with strong current and good visibility at the Black Forest dive site, and one of the guests found an octopus. A big school of bigeye trevally greeted the divers, and guests with underwater scooters were able to play in the school a little longer.
Then an afternoon of more great diving. Green sea turtles and thousands of bigmouth mackerel and fuseliers, along with an unlimited supply of macro subjects, and some of the guests proclaimed these to be some of their best dives ever."

Yes, definitely, you can check thru my flickr photos for examples of what you can see at Alona and Balicasag as I have them tagged. I was there in May and November of last year. My favorite were the mushroom pipefish and hairy pipefish. But you will have to scuba to get a shot of those.
