Dive-site story
Situated off the southern tip of Miniloc Island in Bacuit Bay, South Miniloc is renowned for its expansive fields of foliose lettuce and cabbage corals. Divers drift along sandy channels between coral bommies where schooling pelagics frequently gather. Resident schools of chevron barracudas and bigeye jacks swirl over the reef crest while sea turtles forage quietly among the hard corals.
