when the current is not too strong.
Nasog Point has an interesting
bottom composition of massive
boulders and canyons with some
good coral cover, including sea fans
and soft corals.
There is better chance of seeing
pelagic fish swim by. Dogtooth
tuna, barracuda and even an eagle
ray may make an appearance.
Nasog Point is a regional favorite
and Boracay dive centers like to
combine this with nearby Dog Drift.



  1. Dog Drift
    Icons:
    Location: South of Nasog Point
    Depth: 16-100 ft. (5-30m)


As the name implies, this is
normally done as a drift dive. It is a
pleasant drift dive but chances are a


diver won’t encounter a dog. This is
usually a drift dive with plenty to
see when there is current. This
relatively small wall has lots of
caves and crevices to explore, some
of them with painted lobsters. This
wall is only about 300 ft. (90m) but
it is packed with many caves,
crevices and holes. Look also for
resting sea turtles and lots of rather
colorful soft corals.
Look into the blue as pelagic fish
are known to drift into the water
column to have a look at divers.
The reef is very nice like nearby
Nasog Point, but the fish life here is
more prolific. Groupers, snapper
schools and some batfish are among
the residents. The cracks and
crevices hold moray eels as well.
Lionfish can be seen here too. It's a
slow and easy drift.
