Local Moalboal operators manage the boat access and site handling.
Tongo Point is a Moalboal wall-and-cave dive with protected reef structure, short boat access from the local dive strip, and a mix of coral cover and sheltered cuts that reward careful buoyancy. It suits divers who want a lively marine-life site with more terrain than a simple open reef, while still leaving room to stay on the easier wall lines under local guidance.

Site Conditions
Safety Notes
The site includes small caves and reaches 55 m, so plan depth limits and maintain appropriate training and redundancy for any cave-like penetrations.
Access Restrictions
Protected marine sanctuary with no mooring lines and restricted local fishing; stay with the operator plan and avoid touching or entering cave sections without training.
Legal Notes
Follow sanctuary rules, avoid anchoring, and treat the caves as overhead space that requires proper training and supervision.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A wall-and-cave scuba site with enough structure to be interesting and enough easier water on the sanctuary lines to suit controlled recreational dives.
Freediving
Freediving is limited to the shallow edge; the main wall and caves are better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work on the shallow sanctuary edge, but the main appeal sits below the surface on the wall and cave lines.
