AQUATIC
ACTIVITIES
Water or Aqua has a certain unique attraction to
people of all ages. Children love to engage in water
play, while adults alike would get lured to take a dip at
the sight of a pool or the beach. Water, in its most
natural form, can be a great venue to relax, to workout,
to have fun, to pump up the adrenaline, and to
challenge one’s limits.
The Philippines, having more than 7,000 islands, is abound with natural
water forms which can host numerous aquatic activities. There is surely
something to do in the different waters of our country, which attract
not only locals but foreigners as well.

Snorkeling
Snorkeling is peeking through life underneath the
water by swimming with the aid of a snorkel and
mask. Through snorkeling, one can observe the
underwater attractions for a longer period without the
constantly resurface to gasp for air and relatively
lesser effort.
