DiveStory House Reef / Panagsama Beach / Sardine Run
Panagsama: easy shore sardine run with reef wall and predators.
Shore-access house reef with sardines near the surface, coral reef structure, and easy dive-center support on Panagsama Beach.
About DiveStory House Reef / Panagsama Beach / Sardine Run
DiveStory House Reef / Panagsama Beach / Sardine Run is a shore-access Moalboal site built around a near-surface sardine ball over a coral reef wall. The beach strip has easy dive-center support, and the main draw is the moving school itself, with predators sometimes cutting through when the water is calm and clear. On busy days the shallow layer can feel lively, with snorkelers and guides sharing the same water, so steady fin control and reef-aware spacing matter as much as the bait ball itself.
