About this dive site

This dive site offers an easy shore entry onto a vibrant shallow reef, approximately 3-8 meters deep. This reef then transitions into a dramatic vertical wall that plunges beyond 40 meters, providing diverse topography for all diver levels. The site's natural structure offers a clear navigation path along the reef and wall.

The corals and walls of Marigondon Beach are home to large schools of colorful reef fishes, barracuda, and snapper. Macro enthusiasts will delight in common finds like frogfish and various other small critters, indicating a rich biodiversity for both wide-angle and macro photography.

While ideal for all levels, divers should exercise caution during outbound tides due to potentially strong currents. The site's accessible entry and diverse depths make it a superb location for both snorkelers exploring the shallow reef and freedivers challenging the wall. The vibrant marine life makes it a rewarding experience year-round.
