Dive-site story
Just off the shore of Moalboal, the reef flat drops into a vertical wall famous for its resident sardine baitball. Millions of schooling fish swirl continuously along the drop-off, shifting shapes as predatory trevally, tuna, and reef fish dart through the school. Sea turtles frequently feed on the shallow sea grass and coral heads along the crest before divers descend down the coral-encrusted drop-off.

Dramatic wall dropping into the blue with crevices sheltering macro subjects and frogfish
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Calmer seas and optimal visibility occur during the dry northeast monsoon, although the sardine aggregation remains year-round.
