R.A.C. Point
Current-aware Manta Bowl boat dive with coral, rock, sand, and mantas.

Ticao Pass and Manta Bowl boat dive with mixed terrain, sheltered current pockets, reef fish, and occasional manta-ray or whale-shark fly-bys.
About R.A.C. Point
R.A.C. Point is a current-aware Ticao Pass boat dive in the Manta Bowl area, where coral, rock, and sandy-bottom terrain create sheltered pockets that let divers watch the reef work in the flow. Reef fish school through the structure, and manta rays or passing whale sharks can still show up, so the site rewards a guide who knows how to use the shelter to frame the action.

Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat scuba dive for divers comfortable with current, route-finding, and active reef life.
Freediving
Not a natural freedive target because current and route-finding matter more than simple shallow water.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited because the structure and current work best from scuba depth.
