Acerca de Sand Pit Reef
Sand Pit Reef es un montículo de arrecife en mar abierto al este de la isla Kalambuyan, con un centro arenoso que lo convierte en un sitio sencillo de entrenamiento para principiantes y en una primera inmersión en arrecife fácil. Su atractivo está en el coral sano que lo rodea, los peces y el entorno tranquilo, sin olas, más que en cualquier perfil técnico.
