The walls are etched with caves and small passage-ways and the corals in the shallows are very colorful with many kinds of fish and crustaceans hiding amongst them. You do two dives in Balicasag and it's almost certain that you will encounter sea turtles and big schools of jack fish.

You leave the island of Panglao and travel south to Dumaguete in the island of Negros. Our first dive destination is Dauin, famous for its muck dive sites. Dauin has no corals and the monotony of its gray sand bottom is broken only by a few pieces of debris. In this almost featureless environment there are few places to hide so creatures have adopted amazing camouflage techniques. With a sharp eye you can find the strangest, most wonderful creatures out in the open, blending into sand and debris. Muck diving is a unique experience and in your two dives you have a good chance of seeing octopi, seahorses, flamboyant cuttlefish, flounder, frogfish, robust ghost pipefish and many more interesting creatures.
