Dive-site story
Off the northern coast of Busuanga Island near Coron, this marine sanctuary protects shallow seagrass beds that feed resident dugongs. Controlled diving focuses on watching these marine mammals graze the sandy substrate. Green sea turtles, rays, and macro critters share the meadows. Spotters on outrigger boats track the animals from the surface before guiding divers down under strict interaction protocols.
