Dakit-Dakit: Malapascua macro reef with strong currents
Dakit-Dakit is a Malapascua reef made up of small rocky islands, some above the surface and some below it. The site is known for soft coral gardens and a dense macro scene, with seahorses, pipefish, nudibranchs, and cuttlefish often drawing the most attention. Current can be strong and visibility can swing, so the best dives are the ones matched to the water on the day.
