Dive Spot Guide•
Punta
Macro-rich Punta dive with gentle slopes and tide-aware currents.
Open sand-and-pebble slope in Dauin with strong macro potential; best for slow, guided dives when the tide and currents are reasonable.
About Punta
Punta in Dauin is a macro-focused sand-and-pebble slope that rewards patient, buoyancy-conscious divers more than reef hunters. The site looks simple at first, but slow passes can turn up octopus, frogfish, cuttlefish, and other small life. Plan it around tide-aware windows, because the exposed headland can make current management part of the dive.

Scuba Diving
Best for slow macro searching with good buoyancy and a guide who can work the tide. Expect a patient pass over sand, pebble, and rubble rather than a reef route.
