Dive-site story
Positioned off the western face of Entalula Island in Bacuit Bay, this vertical limestone drop-off steps down through undercut ledges and boulder fields before meeting the sandy sea floor. Large gorgonian sea fans, whip corals, and barrel sponges coat the wall face, providing shelter for diverse macro life and schooling reef dwellers. Divers typically drift along the wall with the tidal flow, scanning cracks for cryptic critters while keeping an eye out into the blue for passing pelagics.
Steep limestone wall layered with gorgonian seafans, hydroids, and barrel sponges
Macro hunting in wall crevices for ornate ghost pipefish, nudibranchs, and frogfish
Frequent encounters with foraging hawksbill sea turtles along the upper reef edge
Drift diving along dramatic topography with schools of snappers and fusiliers
