About Tongo Sanctuary
Tongo Sanctuary is a boat-access marine sanctuary off Moalboal with a steep wall, coral-covered reef top, and small cave sections that add texture to the dive. The site is known for vibrant hard and soft corals, a broad mix of reef fish, and regular sightings of turtles, ghost pipefish, frogfish, and other small marine life. It is a classic Moalboal dive that rewards careful buoyancy and calm conditions.
