| Dive Information Detail | |
|---|---|
| Deepest Experience | 23 m. |
| General Remarks Site | Situated in front of the northern tip of Mactan, along the coast of Cebu. Lighthouse on a promoting point in the sea. Sheltered bay from southern winds. Ugly industrial site. |
| Facilities for Divers | The boats from Mactan can take you there. In general they will be surprised and ask a premium. |
| Type of Bottom | Very ugly: sand and mud, sloping with huge rocks here and there covered with gorgonians. From 15 m on fine mud. |
| Marine Life | Algae in the shallow, sparse corals. On the rocks plenty gorgonians. Mud bottom fauna with many interesting crabs, shells, Mitridae and others. Nightdives are heaven for photographers. |
| Visibility | 8 m is heaven in this place. |
| Currents | Moderate at the time of our visits. |
| Level | Advanced and professionals only: the mud will limit visibility for half an hour on one passage. Nightdives dangerous. |
