About this site
This site sits along the coast of Moalboal on Cebu island's western shore, in the Visayas region of the Philippines, within a protected marine sanctuary. Panagsama Beach, the town's main dive hub, lies close by, with the reef dropping toward the Tañon Strait between Cebu and Negros. The site is rated technical, so it is best approached by divers with the depth and planning experience that grade implies.
