Camiguin pier-and-slope macro dive with easy shore access.
Balbagon Port is a shore-access macro dive under and beside the pier in Camiguin, where coral gardens and small critters turn the port into a slow, close-focus dive. It is best treated as a relaxed reef-and-pier session: easy entry, lots of tiny subjects, and a shallow slope that rewards patient buoyancy more than speed.
