Snorkeling in Cebu is very popular. If you are fond of water sports then definitely you should try out Cebu. It is one of the larger islands of Philippines and has some of the most modern cities in the world. Nightlife is throbbing and vivacious and for daytime activities you will have several sightseeing trips. But if you are a water sports or snorkeling aficionado, then the warm and calm waters surrounding Cebu Island will offer you many moments of pleasure. For a seasoned snorkeler, snorkeling in any body of water is fairly easy, but just off the coasts of Cebu Island, the soft warm waters offer minimal waves and interesting undersea life to feast the eyes on. Specially in the areas where there are large coral reefs, there is always a rush of snorkelers. For snorkeling in Cebu, you would not need any special training, being an expert swimmer alone is the biggest qualification to take up the sport. But yes, you do have to know how to breathe in and out of the snorkel. If you are jittery ask your tour guide for some instructions. In Cebu, you will find several shops where snorkeling equipments are on hire and these rentals are for very nominal money. You can look for instructors in these shops, the owners might know of some people who give instructions. The instruction must cover how to use the equipment, basic safety, what to look for below the water's surface and attention to the corals so that they are not damaged.
