Location: Off Barangay Agpanabat
Depth: 18-84 ft. (5-25m)
T
his dive spot is characterized by
a series of very large, towering
coral bommies covered in all sorts
of marine life. Sandy channels and
plains mark the bottom between
each coral head so divers can
expect almost anything in this
protected and
diverse terrain.
Various fish
schools like the
protection of the
corals and look
for sea anemones
of all kinds and
their
accompanying
anemonefish
swimming in their
tentacles.
Anemone crabs
can also be seen
as can glass
shrimp.
Also within the
sanctuary are the
Agpanabat Caves
and Canyons
which is a site
marked by a
rugged terrain as
the name suggests. The area is a mix
of steep walls, coral laden
overhangs, small caves and deep
gorges. The coral diversity is quite
nice here but a lot of the dive is just
swimming in and out of the
different terrains.
Fun to explore and great habitat
for fish like snappers, sweetlips,
lobsters, the craggy rock formations
make Agpanabat a unique scuba
diving experience.Spinecheek anemonefish
