About this site
Lapuz-Lapuz lies off Ticao Island, part of Masbate province within the Bicol region of the Philippines, in the waters between Ticao and Luzon known for their currents and channels. Ticao's diving is generally reached by boat from small coastal towns on the island. Divers here have reported a mix of reef fish including Clark's anemonefish, tomato clownfish, pearlscale angelfish, moon wrasse, and Indo-Pacific sergeant major, alongside smaller sightings such as blackeye thicklip, eastern triangle butterflyfish, lemon and staghorn damsels, and the occasional money cowry.
