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.

Suitable for open water training; average depth about 8–10 m with a maximum of 14 m.
