Local Intel For Bacong

Scuba Diving
Best as a guided wall dive with time to work the reef top, ledges, and macro subjects.

Only a secondary fit for freediving on calm days near the shallow top; treat it as an add-on, not the main use case.
Snorkeling
Limited snorkeling is possible near the shallow top on calm days, but the site is mainly a scuba wall dive.
