Today we shod our flippers to dive site Daorong Point located 5 minutes from Alona Beach .
Right now the low season can be felt, there are few divers in the area so I do not lose an opportunity to put his nose under the water as soon as I can!
It was a dive in mid-afternoon, almost at the peak of high tide!
the Philippines as elsewhere, it is often best to dive at high tide because there is often less power and an influx of fresh water provides better visibility.
The conditions were ideal, water at 30 ° C, a visibility of about 25 to 30 meters and a very small current, just enough to be flémard and not have flippers! Everything we love:) We stayed
65 minutes with a maximum depth of 23 meters! The highlight of this dive was the bench catfish! A ball 2 meters in diameter! This struck us as it is very unusual to see a bench outside the reef. These fish usually stay in small groups and mostly in the interstices or under rocks or coral!
PS: do not touch the catfish because they have a poisonous stinger and several bites can be fatal!
