Koala

Koala is a local dive site near Mabini and Tingloy in the Philippines, commonly accessed from the Mabini area. The site is typically calm to moderate in conditions with warm tropical waters and clear to moderate visibility, reflecting typical Batangas shoreline diving. It offers straightforward entry and a shallow to mid-depth profile suitable for recreational divers, with a reef-structure topography and gentle slopes that attract a variety of reef-associated species. Divers may encounter small schools of damselfish, wrasse, and occasional larger reef fish, along with healthy coral coverage in sheltered margins. Access is convenient from nearby towns, making Koala a practical option for a half-day dive in calm conditions.
