No — most snorkeling and swimming are in shallow, protected waters, but basic swimming ability is recommended and life vests are typically provided for non-swimmers.
Aquaria and resort day-use areas usually offer food stalls, cabanas and storage options, though it’s wise to bring cash and secure valuables in a dry bag or locker if provided.
Some operators include basic snorkel sets; check your booking details and plan to bring or rent your own for a better fit and clearer mask performance.
Calatagan’s coastline has long supported small fishing villages and seasonal salt production; recent tourism grew around natural sandbars and the appeal of clear, shallow coastal waters.
