This is a Marine Park Sanctuary and probably the best known Philippine dive site for novice divers. Originally quite barren, it has been seeded with coral from elsewhere and is now, due to incessant fish feeding, teeming with fish. The banca anchors in a shallow water and you may swim down and out across sand with small coral heads soon to be met by hordes of fish hoping to be fed.
