About Lapus-Lapus
Lapus-Lapus is a Malapascua reef-and-coral-garden boat dive with a shallow top, a deeper side, and a lot of life packed into a short island outing. It is one of the island's classic macro sites, but it also works as an easy scenic reef dive when the sea is calm and the current stays manageable. The mix of coral texture, small reef subjects, and a simple boat ride makes it a reliable repeat dive for visitors who want variety without a long transit.
