As you slowly progress down Rojos, the bottom changes from gentle sand slopes to scraggly rocks that are home to anything from waspfish to the wonderful Flamboyant Cuttlefish.
Bianca Point
At dusk, we take you to this site and then it's a matter of waiting until the Mandarinfish emerge from the corals to display their bright colors. Limited to Sundays to prevent overcrowding the site.
Aer Perang
"Water War" (so named after two villages battling for control of drinking water back in the days) is a black sand plain that is perfect for an exciting night dive.
