First off, if you want to dive surrounded by manta rays there can be nowhere better - all year round you are more or less assured of big numbers. Then at Kakaban Lake you can swim with enormous numbers of stingless jellyfish at the famous Jellyfish Lake. The sensation of this thriving scene is out of this world.
Turtles rule the waves on Sangalaki. You can witness every stage of their life cycle: from mating, egg laying and hatching, to the first instinctive scurry of the young into their ocean home. In fact, turtles are so popular here, you can even adopt one!
