About Mangrove
Mangrove is a boat-accessed Malapascua training site with a sandy bottom and patch reef, used for check dives and open-water courses. It is more about buoyancy practice and small fish than big scenery, so it suits calm, low-stress sessions. Plan on a guided dive, a simple training-style setup, and the best water in settled weather.
