On our way to Pandanon Island, we pass by Sulpa island, a small uninhabitat rock outcropping with a cave that people could swim through and reach the other side. The sea is so shallow in these area that pumpboats operators usually have watchers to help navigate the boat. Snorkling around Sulpa is excellent although you don't get to see a lot of reef fishes. You see more of sea urchins here. Nevertheless its a great place to stop by and bath in these waters for a while.
