Shallow seagrass macro site in Sabang Bay.
Shallow seagrass macro site in Sabang Bay.
Sea Grass / Grassland is a shallow seagrass site in Sabang Bay near the Sabang Wrecks, built for slow macro hunting rather than big scenery. The sandy grass bed hides tiny critters and juvenile fish, so careful buoyancy and patient scanning matter more than covering distance. It is the kind of dive that rewards photographers and muck divers who enjoy small subjects.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a slow macro scuba dive with tight buoyancy and careful finning over the grass and sandy edges.
Freediving
A calm-day breath-hold swim can work in the shallows, but the site really shines when you can move slowly and search.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work on calm days in the shallowest patches, especially along the grass edges and sandy pockets.
