Posted by Ada on Category: Luzon, Palawan | 16 Comments

Yes!! My favorite part! Island Hopping in Honda Bay! Our great tour guide Gloria and bangkeros headed us first in Pambato Reef. Pambato Reef, is one of the well known tourist spots in Honda Bay. It is also known as “Mini Tubbataha.”

Manong is trying to pull me down!!
The diver pulled me downward so I can have a shot beside this wonderful reef. I hope this shot is not bad hehehe.

You should wear life-vest while snorkeling in order for you stay on top of the reefs. Stepping on the reefs is strictly prohibited! Ouch. But in my case, I removed the life-vest so I can go far beneath the water and have this shot taken. Please don’t attempt removing your life-vest if you don’t know how to swim.
