other reef residents. At the wall
bottom, there is sand and marble
rays like to lay here.
Punta Bonga 1is the shallower of
the two dives. Look for a nice,
healthy selection of hard corals,
swaying soft corals and lots of
smaller fish.
Punta Bonga 2has similar cover
but is ledgy and cascades down in
broad steps to deeper water. Look
for more pelagics here.
- Friday’s Rock
Icons:
Location: Off Balabag, W. Boracay
Depth: 23-60 ft. (7-18m)
This is a well-used site for dive
training and for photography as the
fish are fed here so the fish are
friendly and come in close. There
are two different dives here. One is
at Friday’s Rock, a submerged
mount with lots of fish living in and
around a big coral boulder. Nearby
a coral garden rises up (Friday’s
Reef) into the shallows and can be a
second dive or part of the first.
Plentiful marine life can be found
on the rock. But also look at the
sandy areas and patch reefs
surrounding the rock for abundant
fish and beautiful invertebrates.49) Crocodile Island
