T


ambuli has always been a
popular dive training site.
Tambuli Beach Club is a long-
established dive resort at the
northeastern end of Mactan. The
site is known not so much for great
coral cover as it is for fish life.


This is a good place for
underwater photographers to shoot
the willing fish. Tambuli is also
known as a great macro diving site
for close-up work. Divers encounter
nudibranchs, anemone shrimp, tiny
anglerfish and beautiful juvenile
angelfish.
The reef slopes down gently to the
lip of a wall which then falls to the


depths. But this is normally done as
a shallow dive in usually clear
water with minimal current.
Also, there is an airplane on this
site. Tambuli Beach Club anchored
an old twin-engine Bonanza aircraft
to the sea bottom. It is now home to
a variety of marine animals and is
quickly being covered by small
hard and soft corals and barnacles.
To permit easy penetration, the
doors were removed. It is a high

traffic site so listen for the sound of
banca motors before ascending.
