Dive-site story
Positioned at the southern curve of the Moalboal coastline, Tongo Point features a shallow coral flat that abruptly plunges into a vertical drop-off and steep slope. The wall is pocketed with small overhangs, crevices, and sea fan gardens swept by gentle currents. Green sea turtles frequent the shallows to graze on seagrass and algae, while macro enthusiasts search the soft coral coverage for tiny critters.
