Kalipayan
from diveshop 5 minutes
beginner yes
snorkeler yes
max. deep 23 meter
Actually, this is not quite straight out from Kalipayan Beach Resort which is run by Atlantis Dive Center: go out and turn right for about two kilometres. Good for snorkelling, it begins with a wall to a sand slope and ends in stag horn corals at about 13 meters.

The main attraction here is the number of blue and table corals and, if you are lucky, some beautiful harlequin ghost pipefish as well as the banded pipefish, which are usually found hiding in the crevices and small caves of the wall, while in May and June some divers have commented on the attacks by aggressive and over-protective trigger fish!

Remember that their protected area is like an inverted cone, so you should always swim sideways and not up to escape them. And do take care…he/she may not look that big, but they have been known to bite through wetsuits!
