Light House East

Description

Depending on the current direction. Start the dive in front of the lighthouse going east, slope on your right shoulder. Or you start at the north corner in front of Barangay Beach, going southwest, slope on the left shoulder. For more adventurous divers. Deep drop-off with a platform at 22mand 30m. It can have a strong current, watch the timetable for proper entry time. Good night diving is at Barangay beach, see the on the map, easy to make a land entry and exit here; your dive profile is then a triangle.

​

Marine Life

Until 1999 there were Hammerhead sharks in March; now, these days, you have to be lucky. On the slope are Nudibranchs and try to find the Dragon fish or Seamoth. In deep water in the red sea-fans look for the small Pygmy seahorse. The local divemasters from Cabilao can show them to you. During the night dive, you see Conger eel like the ugly Marbled snake-eel. Your safe stop is best above the seagrass in the shallow part.
