Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa, Palawan
The island was named Snake island because of its natural sandspit (s-shaped) sandbar that “snakes” off for almost a kilometer. You can clearly see the island's shape as the plane approaches the Puerto Princesa airport if you are sitting on the starboard side.
Its also a marine research outpost (and a fish sanctuary). You can feed fish with bread even at waist deep waters, they are very friendly and are used to humans.
You can see from the colors of the water that its very deep within just a few meters from the shore. We saw a large school of jacks (thousands of them) around this area. The guides in the island will gladly lead you to your "choice" of fish to see: from jacks, to surgeon fish, to "Nemos" (clown fishes) :D.
You won't need serious diving gears. All you'll need are your flippers, your mask, and several pieces of bread. The fishes will come to you, except for the jacks. They just go around and around in a imaginary circle. We had fun "following" them that day.
