malapascua is excellent for snorkelling especially in the northern and eastern portion of the island where excellent coral reefs still abound. sadly, the south and western portions have been long plundered by the locals who indiscriminately destroyed most of the coral life. diving sites r far off the island which takes about half to one hour boat ride. most larger resorts offer dive tours.
people who go there for the first time looking for socialization opportunity will be disappointed and will never come back. good for us who r true beach bums. we like it most when we see people go about their own business because u cant hear annoying loud chit-chat or boisterous laughter.
btw, ive been there in malapascua twice already despite its distance. am in qatar right now but I vow to return to the island once I get home someday.
