About White Island Old Sanctuary
White Island Old Sanctuary is a boat-access reef off Camiguin with a shallow-to-moderate coral garden and easy resort-based logistics. The site suits a wide range of divers, especially when you want a relaxed photo-friendly reef with clear water, steady reef life, and a profile that stays comfortable rather than deep. That makes it a good fit for slow, controlled dives when the sea is calm.
