District:
Kalipayan
Kalipayan is an extensive dive site, perfect for two dives and linked to Danao Beach. Underwater, divers will discover vibrant blue and table corals, along with sea fans and Brown Daisy coral. Marine life includes Dothead Rockcod, small Barracuda, and with the assistance of a knowledgeable dive-master, sightings of the elusive black and yellow Harlequin Ghost Pipefish are possible. As divers progress along the wall, they should explore caves and crevices, where they may encounter the Comet and Banded Pipefish. During May and June, caution is advised as aggressive Blue-Finned or Titan Triggerfish may be present. The recommended dive direction suggests starting with the slope on the right shoulder, heading southwestward.
