  1. Logbon Coral Canyon
    Icons:
    Location: Barangay Logbon
    Depth: 9-131 ft. (3-40m)


One of the great things about
Romblon and the surrounding area
is that there are some sites with
varied terrains and diverse marine
life. Logbon Coral Canyon is one
such dive site.
As the name might suggest, there
are mountains, valleys and ridges
all densely covered in a broad
variety of corals and sponges. This
underwater
scape is habitat
for many
marine
creatures both
large and small
so photogs can
choose betwen
macro or wide
angle set-ups.
This is the kind
of dive that can
be done many
times so one
dive can be
close-up
subjects and
the next go for
the wide ones
like grogonian
sea fans,
clumps of soft


corals and the occasional stand of
red sea whips.
Expect to see clouds of anthias,
schooling fusiliers, possible bigeye
jack shoals and more. Sea turtles
like this reef and can be found
resting on the corals.
For the smaller species, critters
like ornate ghost pipefish, spindle
cowries, coral crabs and other
crustaceans and a wide variety of
colorful and rare nudibranchs can
all be seen on dives here.
The site also has swim-throughs
for divers to play with.
