ARC Tamaraw FX Artificial Reef is a small vehicle wreck set on a gentle sandy slope close to shore, making it a straightforward site for training dives, skills practice, and relaxed loops around the structure. The wreck and surrounding sand patches attract small critters, with frogfish among the notable sightings for patient divers who move slowly and look carefully. Entry is usually a short swim from the beach and is most practical in the calmer Amihan season. Booties help on the shore approach, while Habagat conditions can make the swim-out and return less workable.
