One of the Best islands for Snorkeling – Dimakya Island, Philippines

Something happens as soon as we engross ourselves into the sea. Our breathing decelerates but our pulse quickens. Beneath the facade, this different earth surprises with every glance. Along a brilliant reef, colors run rampant, and shapes seem gleaned from fantastic imagination. 
As an island enthusiast, what you need is a list of island destinations where you can happily spend your whole exploration in the water. You know there are no other places on our planet so, filled with miracle, amazement, sensation and discovery.


Forget sharks, dolphins and whales. If you want true swanking rights in the snorkeling world, for that matter - swim with dugongs. This extremely skittish and highly endangered marine mammal is closely related to the manatee and can grow to about 10 feet long and nearly a thousand pounds. And it regularly lunches among the sea grass beds near small Dimakya Island in the 
Philippines, Asia.

In fact, Dimakya is one of the only places in the world where an in-water dugong  encounter isn't just likely, it often involves a friendly and lengthy meet-and-greet with these special creatures. And the closeness and stillness of snorkeling is the only way to keep from scaring them off. Look into their eyes and feel both their undomesticated spirit and curiosity, it will keep in your memory. Spend some time with green sea turtles, stingrays, tropical reef and even passing manta rays. Club Paradise, the only resort on the island, will sweep you away between blue adventures with its utter quiet and five star barefoot stylishness.
