Ok, so the reefs here are amazing to snorkel upon, and the area is scenically beautiful. But when you have whale sharks and crazy critters like harlequin shrimp, comets (see our blog, A comet in the ocean), and nudibranchs all on full display in shallow water, you know it was a magical experience. Plus, the bonus of lots of reproductive activity among fishes (see our blog Eggs on the reef: Anemonefish reproduction) and invertebrates!
Our host, Sogod Bay Scuba Resort, provided the area’s best in accommodations, food, and boat support and made our stay even that much more special. Check out the photos below to get an idea of just how much fun we had and how lucky we were to see some of the reef’s prettiest and craziest cirtters!
