Shimizu Island
We started off heading towards Shimizu Island. We didn't go on the island itself but rather we snorkled in the waters around it. Shimizu is one of the islands at the edge of the bay that is between the relatively calm waters of the bay and the strong currents of the South China Sea. The waves here are choppier and stronger than the other places we went swimming in so it's important to always be mindful that you don't get carried away. However, the corals seen in the waters here are huge and the diversity of fish even more extensive.
Dibuluan Island
Dibuluan Island is not a resort, rather just an island to stop by somewhere and hang out. It has some basic amenities but it's not a place you can stay overnight. I really love this island because of how much more remote and untouched it is compared to the other islands. It doesn't have corals on its shores so you can actually swim and enjoy the beach.
Most of the islands shores are also covered in Mangroves, which protect the inland parts of the island from the harsh sea water. We once again took to our kayaks and explored these mangrove trees.
Swimming with the Jacks
This one is right on the shores of Miniloc. Right of the pier the large Jack fish know exactly what time is feeding time and begin to gather around in large numbers. Guests can swim with them while the staff throws food around you. It's a really cool experience. Other types of fish also populate the area and even the occasional sea turtle comes around.

| aww look at my litle bro, so brave |
Surprisingly, that's it for my El Nido posts. We were there only for a short time and although we did a lot of things, there were still so many other excursions I would have loved to do and would have willingly paid for. Oh well, maybe next time.
