  1. Dilumacad
    Icons:
    Location: N. Dilumacad Island
    Depth: 33-82 ft. (10-25m)


This popular site has one feature
that makes it very popular. It has a
tunnel big enough for a pair of
divers that starts at about 40 ft.
(12m). The tunnel opens to the wall
at 70 ft. (21m) after narrowing down
a bit. The sandy bottom holds shells
and crabs and some gobies. After
exiting, divers rummage around
moving slowly shallower among the
large rocks.



  1. Tres Marias
    Icons:
    Location: Tabago Island, Miniloc
    Depth: 16-92 ft. (5-28m)


This site is good for both divers

and snorkelers starting in about 15
ft. (4m) of water and presenting big
boulders and rocks for the divers to
play in and explore. Expect to see
lots of fish both adult and juvenile
hiding among the cracks and
crevices. And lobsters really like
this habitat. They are sometimes
found in groups with their antennae
waving curiously.

125) Miniloc Island
Icons:
Location: SW Bacuit Bay
Depth: 42-70 ft. (13-21m)

This has two sites, South Miniloc

lettuce corals, sponges and blue
ribbon eels. Twin Rocks is different
terrain with big table corals,
sponges, tunicate colonies, hard
corals and colorful sea whips.
