Dive-site story
Situated off the tip of Sumilon Island in Cebu, Shark Point features a healthy coral plateau that slopes steadily into a deeper sandy channel and drop-off. Strong currents sweeping through the channel bring nutrient-rich water, creating prime feeding conditions for resident reef sharks and large schools of pelagic fish patrolling the outer edge of the marine reserve.
Frequent sightings of cruising blacktip and whitetip reef sharks along the slope
Dense schools of jacks and trevallies aggregating in the current
Vigorous hard coral structures sheltering numerous species of damselfish and anthias
