Dive-site story
Famous on the surface for its sweeping sandbar, Kalanggaman Island features vertical drop-offs dropping into deep blue water. Located between Cebu and Leyte, the perimeter reef transitions rapidly from shallow coral gardens into sheer walls adorned with giant gorgonian fans and black coral bushes. The offshore position invites pelagic species out in the open current, while macro life thrives tucked into the cracks along the rock face.
Plunging wall topography covered in extensive seafan colonies
Cruising pelagic fish along the outer current line
Shallow reef flat teeming with reef fish and sea turtles
