Bantigue
Shallow muck dive off Malapascua with reef, sand, and macro life.
Malapascua site where a shallow reef turns to sand and macro life becomes the main draw.
About Bantigue
Bantigue is a shallow muck dive off Malapascua Island in the central Visayas. A shallow reef gives way to sand, and the site is known for small critters, nudibranchs, octopus, cuttlefish, frogfish, seamoths, shrimp, and other macro subjects rather than big-reef drama. It works well as a relaxed guided dive or a low-key training dive, with an easy bottom profile that stays approachable and rewarding.
