I. SCUBA DIVING PIONNER JAPANESE WRECK This surprisingly intact Japanese World War II vessel about 60 meter long is standing up right with the bow bottoming at 54 meter and the stern bottoming at around 40 meter. The wreck is overgrown with beautiful corals and even the propeller and anchors are still there. The wreck has also an excellent fish life; massive scorpion fish, eagle rays, large groupers and shoals of barracuda tuna and snappers are found along it. This is very spooky but excellent wreck dive is strictly limited to very experience and qualified divers only. TRESHER SHARKS This dive spot is a big sunken island rising up from the ocean floor. The flat reef top is around 15 meter and the steep drop off is going down to approximately 200 meter. It has spectacular overhangs and walls, disappearing in the endless deep blue ocean. Big schools of tuna, jacks and barracudas can be seen here. Sharks are common in this area and more occasionally even hammerheads. But one of the real special of this place is the close encounter with the breathtaking Thresher Shark they will circle in front of you acting like cats with there long tails waving around. DOÑA MARILYN WRECK This is a big Manila/Cebu ferry that went down 1984 in a typhoon and is known as "The most beautiful wreck in the Visayas". The around 100 meter long ferry is lying on its portside and it can be entered safe in some areas. The wreck is partly overgrown with hard and beautiful colored soft corals. Scorpion fish, lionfish, and other typical wreck fishes find already a place here. Big black spotted stingrays are usually around. The stern is bottoming at around 16 meter (max. depth 35 meter)
