- Tongo Point

Location: South Copton Peninsula

T
ongo Point is a good site year-
round, though currents are
sometimes strong and
unpredictable. The corals are
exceptional with staghorn forests at
the reeftop and sea fans along the
wall. Some healthy soft corals grow
here too. The dive starts and ends
along a deep wall with small caves
that can be explored all along the
dive. Some parts of the reef are
exposed during low tide. At dusk,
mandarinfish can be found in the
shallows in the staghorn. Razorfish,
sea turtles, lots of fusiliers some
occasional barracudas are all on
this site. The shallows are also home
to harlequin ghost pipefish and
many colors of the ebbing and
flowing leaf fish.
67) Talisay Wall
Icons:
Location: Pescador Island
Depth: 10 -100 ft. (3-30m)The dive starts with a slope going
to 40 ft. (12m) and then it becomes
a flat wall with a deep ledge at 115
ft. (35m). The wall has vertical
canyons with wide deep slopes. The
profile of this area is diverse
changing from slope to wall and
giving divers plenty to look at and
fish and marine critters plenty of
habitat. Some caves are deeper than
other and a light will help to see
farther inside. Look for gobies in the
sandy bottoms of the caves.
Divers will also see big stuff in the
blue like batfish, mackerel,
barracuda, turtles and yellow
margin triggerfish. The shallows
have mandarinfish (Synchiropus
splendidus) so dives can be made
here at dusk to see mating.Twin spot goby
