This is Snake Island one of the 3 islands in Honda Bay. Just several minutes land trip from downtown Puerto Princesa City. There is a single level building where one can buy the tickets to hire a boat (PHP800.00 the whole day, maximum of 3 islands as of March 2005). Masks, snorkels and fins can also be rented from this office. It is about an hour of boat ride to Snake Island.

Cottages are free at Snake Island but you can give any amount as donation. We asked one local to grill us a big fish for P80.00(US$ 1.50). We brought our own lunch. Swimming galore. You can buy some bread at the sari sari store there and do some fish feeding. But be careful. Surprisingly, you can see schools of reef fish and clams at such a shallow water.

This is island is fun to go to for family outing.

====================================
- Saturated the colors using curves and levels
- Used a wide angle lens and distort more in Photoshop
- selective burning and dodging

Such a magnificient moment from nature has been captured in this beautiful presentation. Greenish hue of water along with partly cloudy sky is looking fantastic. An immanse sense of depth is there. Well done Cesar.
