Dive-site story
Situated off the northern coast of Busuanga, Dimipac Island Reef features a shallow fringing reef that slopes down onto sandy patches and feeding grounds. The surrounding marine sanctuary is one of the few places in the Philippines where divers and snorkelers occasionally encounter foraging dugongs grazing on sea grass. Gentle topography makes this an accessible drift or mooring dive, filled with hard coral formations, anemone clusters, and abundant reef fish.
Regular sightings of foraging sea turtles among hard coral bommies
Proximity to protected seagrass meadows known for resident dugongs
Vibrant coral formations hosting dense colonies of clownfish and damselfish
