About This Dive Site
Two intentionally scuttled jeep / car hulks lie at ~24–28 m on Dauin's black-sand slope, accompanied by concrete pipes and steel boxes deployed as artificial reef. The vehicles act as macro magnets in an otherwise featureless muck environment, hosting frogfish, ghost pipefish, and a reliable mandarinfish population at dusk.
