This dive site, Tangub Bay, offers a vibrant underwater experience starting with an entry at 4 meters. Divers are greeted by a lush mixed coral garden comprising both soft and hard corals. From this shallow entry point, the reef slopes steeply at an angle of 25 to 35 degrees, creating an interesting topography to explore, though dives are typically limited to 17 meters.
Tangub Bay is a haven for macro enthusiasts. Divers can spot exquisite ornate ghost pipefish cleverly camouflaged among skeleton-type soft corals. Various shrimps hide in the reef's nooks and crannies, while garden eels sway gracefully from the sandy bottom. Delicate porcelain crabs can also be observed living symbiotically with anemone corals.
The best time to visit Tangub Bay for diving or freediving is generally during the dry season for optimal visibility. Its shallow entry and average depth of 8 meters make it highly suitable for beginners and freedivers seeking beautiful coralscapes and abundant macro life. Tips include keen observation skills for spotting the well-hidden small creatures.
