Dive-site story
Pescador South covers the southern flank of Pescador Island in the Tañon Strait. A shallow coral plateau covered in hard corals gives way to a sheer vertical wall riddled with crevices, overhangs, and small caves. Drift diving is typical here as currents push past the island point, attracting pelagics and schooling fish along the drop-off.
Steep wall drop-offs covered in giant sea fans, sponges, and soft coral colonies
Frequent encounters with green sea turtles grazing along the reef edge
Occasional sightings of pelagics including trevallies, barracuda, and whitetip reef sharks
Location
