Balicasag drift wall with sea fans, turtles, and easy boat access.
Cathedral Wall is a Balicasag drift wall with overhangs, ledges, and crevasses that make the dive feel active without becoming overly technical. The wall carries sea fans and coral growth and is known for turtles, frogfish, nudibranchs, and jackfish, so it works well for divers who want a scenic current-guided reef dive with a strong mix of structure and marine life.
