Tongo Marine Sanctuary

Tongo Marine Sanctuary is a regional dive site off a coastal area, typically explored from nearby towns along the shore. The sanctuary is characterized by protected seabed habitats and gentle reef slopes close to shore, with access via boat and calm surface conditions typical of sheltered coves. Dive depths are generally shallow, suitable for recreational divers with basic training, and currents are usually mild. Expect common Western Philippine coastal species, including reef fish, small pelagics, and seagrass meadows in protected zones. The site offers a straightforward drift-free experience from nearby launch points and local dive centers in the area.
