Dive-site story
Located within a protected marine sanctuary along the Mabini coastline, Twin Rocks centers on two substantial coral-encrusted rock structures rising from a sloping seabed. Sandy channels surround the formations, leading out toward artificial reef structures and scattered patches of soft corals. Divers frequently encounter a resident school of bigeye jacks spiraling in open water above the reef, while macro photographers scrutinize the rock faces and rubble slopes for cryptic critters.
