Burgos. It has both a wall dive and
a angled coral slope. It drops down

a number of big gorgonian fans.

There is an abundance of marine

life along the wall and reef.

perched on the forest green

tubastrea coral trees. Divers see

macro life like pygmy seahorses and

nudibranchs and larger critters like

batfish, turtles and the occasional

whale shark. Tankaan is a marine

protected area.
