Because of recent damage to my ears, I can no longer dive, so snorkeling is my new passion.
I'm looking for the best of the best, possibly something with fringing reefs, and healthy abundant coral life with a kaleidoscope of colors. Pelagic fish and sharks would be nice, but I know they aren't usually found with the micro world of endless coral.
My favorite snorkel destination so far has been Koh Tao in Thailand. I could walk out of my beach bungalow and jump in to immediately swim above the reef, which was just 5-10 feet below. Giant clams, black tip reef sharks, hammer coral, anemone's and so on. But I know there are even better places out there.
That's what I'm looking for... a relaxing, remote, and simple accommodation, to be able to get in the water any time and swim above the reefs, in and out of coves.
I've read about waikatobe, raja ampat, maldives, palau, philippines, cook islands...
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
