About Dona Marilyn
Dona Marilyn is a long-range boat wreck off Malapascua that rewards advanced divers who are comfortable with current and open-water wreck conditions. The wreck lies on its starboard side, and the main interest is the mix of structure, coral growth, nets, and fish life rather than a simple flat profile. It is the sort of dive that pays off when timing, buoyancy, and boat logistics all line up.
