  1. Lighthouse 1

    Location: NW Cabilao
    Depth: 15-80 ft. (4-25m)


Next to Current View Point
is a slope covered with sea
grass and corals going down
to 70 ft. (21m). This is an
excellent site for underwater
photographers as it has a
great variety of rare marine
life. Several kinds of
scorpionfish, different ghost
pipefish, pegasus, stargazers,
crocodile snake-eels, sea
snakes, many different kinds


of shrimp and crabs and the
fascinating “disco” file shell are all
regularly sighted. This very
productive site, which also has
some big elephant ear sponges, is a
great night dive spot as well.

90) Fallen Tree
Icons:
Location: W Cabilao
Depth: 15-140 ft. (4-40m)

Yep, there’s a fallen tree on the
shore here. This dive is along a
gradual slope from the shore to 55
ft. (16m) and then a steep wall
which slopes down deep. There can
be a gentle current feeding the soft
corals and that makes this a great
drift dive. Off the wall and into the
blue look for schools of large
blackbar barracuda or cruising sea
turtles. All along the site, frogfish
and nudibranchs are to be found

Guide points out
hairy squat lobster
