Dive-site story
Located directly off the sheltered cove of Dakak Beach Resort in Dapitan City, this site offers calm, protected diving suitable for training and macro photography. The seabed slopes gradually from sandy patches dotted with seagrass to scattered coral bommies and artificial reef structures before reaching deeper sandy flats. Night dives here reveal active crustaceans, cephalopods, and resting reef fish tucked into coral crevices.
Protected bay providing calm conditions and easy shore entry
Macro photography opportunities among sandy patches and artificial structures
Excellent night diving with hunting cuttlefish and sleeping reef dwellers
