Dive-site story
Located off Punta Engaño on Mactan Island, this protected reef zone offers direct access from the beach and pier. The underwater terrain transitions from shallow seagrass beds and sand flats into a coral-covered slope that gives way to a deeper drop-off. Artificial reef structures and giant clam nurseries dot the shallows, attracting schools of reef fish that thrive under long-standing local protection.

Artificial reef structures colonized by soft corals and sponges
Easy shore entry ideal for refresher dives, training, and night excursions
