We also encourage snorkeling for guests of our divers who do not wish to dive themselves. Most of our dive sites also offer excellent snorkeling and we routinely see turtles from the surface.

The Camotes Sea is also home to many species of cetaceans, the most common being the Spinner Dolphin that travel in large pods (often 50 or more mammals)  to feeding grounds around the Islands. We also have occasional sightings of Pantropical Spotted Dolphins, Bottlenose Dolphins and Risso’s Dolphins.

At Camotes Dive Centre we know the best spots and times for dolphin watching so let us take you on an unforgettable trip. Late afternoon watching is usually combined with a beautiful, often jaw dropping, tropical sunset.
