The diving places
Overview
Here is a small overview of over 23 Dive Sites. This where our diving school starts.
Balicasag
Balicasag lies to the west of Panglao an approximately 30 min boat trip from Danao Beach. There is also a resort restaurant on this island. Snorkelling is also a great experience on Balicasag. All around the island one can find wonderful diving places.
Black Forest Balicasag
A flat sloping bottom with very beautiful black corals, (in reality they are light green to yellow). Here, one can be eer with the local Napoleon fish and with luck some big schools of Mackerel and Barracudas. Sometimes one will see many schools in a single dive. The reef edge is full of small colorful fish.
Balicasag Navy Sanctuary
A terraced wall in the west of the island provides an unbelievable diving experience in middle of a gigantic Jackfish school. Also Grouper are present.
Heaven Balicasag
A terraced wall, drift dive area. Beautiful corals and a good cathedral cave can be found here. From time of time, one also finds turtles, sharks and Napoleon fish here.
