With a little luck, you can see turtles, sharks, and barracudas in this sanctuary.

First, my intention that I went here was simply taking photos and sightseeing since it is a marine sanctuary which I thought not allowed to swim but to my surprise upon entering the place and asked some locals there, they told me that there's an entrance of 50 pesos and if I go swimming another 250 for the guide. So I was a bit confused why do I need to pay for a guide and they only told me that I am not allowed to go swimming without having a guide, so I gave a try maybe I can see something in the water that I haven't seen in my entire life yet. And that's it! I was amazed and so happy because it feels like a diving experience! Worth to pay a guide, entrance and snorkeling mask(50 pesos also) coz the guide brought you in the deep where you can see a group of barracuda and a big beautiful jack fish, corals, giant clamps and many to mention! A very nice experience indeed! Would love to come back here one day together with my friends. Much recommended! Thumbs up!
Don't go to this place!!!! There is some locals that sit there all day, that telling you that you must pay a fee and take a guide for entering the water and this is mandatory. I can tell there nothing special over there, you can see beautiful fish, shells and corals all around the island for free, like in Olang Marine Sanctuary and Maite Marine Sanctuary.
School of Barracuda! The dive site is a long walk from the shore and full of sharp rocks. The guide divers are very good in taking underwater pictures and videos of you also. Prepare a lot of breath for this one.
You have to pay a fee, but it is worth it. Super friendly and well-prepared staff. My boyfriend and I were having some trouble with our goggles and they took care of us. We even got to see a school of barracudas and some baby sharks! Amazing snorkeling experience :)
100 municipal fee 250 for one person, and you get a dive guide to take you. I saw, while snorkeling: * Black tipped reef sharks * Banded sea snakes * Green turtle * Spotted eagle ray * Titan triggerfish (attacked us from 15m depth, scary) * Giant trevally schools * Needlefish schools * Two great barracudas * Tons of reef fish, surgeonfish, sweet lips, grunts But most importantly... A huge (2000) school of Heller's Barracudas! Beautiful, huge cloud of them. I swam with them alone for 30 minutes.. only a huge giant trevally bothered the cloud, going inside them and scaring them, as if playing. It was amazing! Really cool sanctuary, worth it. Go during high tide for best results.
i enjoyed swimming with the barakuda and saw the big clams. cheap price.
Was OK, a good activity if you’re here on the island. The corals are not much, as they were nearly wiped out in a major storm in 2013 and are still recovering, but a short tour provided good looks at a barracuda circle (which is amazing) and giant clams (really cool), but very brief, distant, and fleeting glimpses of a turtle and a shark. It won’t compare with what you can see on other nearby islands, but OK if you’re here anyway
