Around the island is a healthy coral ledge, mostly at around 10ft (3m), though at the southern end it slopes to 30ft (9m). The ledge then drops as a vertical wall with overhangs and crevices to between 100ft (30m) and 165ft (50m) before sloping down and out on sand. The famous Pescador "Cathedral" is an open-top funnel that bottoms out at 115ft (34m); the funnel also is open also on its outer side at 50ft (15m). Flora & Fauna: The walls have many overhangs, cracks and crevices with gorgonian sea fans, black coral, large barrel and tube sponges covered in alabaster sea cucumbers, tubastrea cup coral, colourful soft corals and crinoids, sea stars, sea cucumbers and nudibranchs. The fish life includes just about everything you would expect to find in the area. Shoals of jacks, fusiliers, barracuda, snapper, sweetlipssurgeon and catfish, tuna, Napoleon wrasse, grey reef sharks, lionfish, stonefish, moray eel and sea snakes, are likely to appear. Turtles, whale sharks (January-March) small schools of hammerhead sharks and Manta rays have been seen here, and night dive are famous for very large Spanish dancer nudibranche.

Cebu - Tongo Point: Location: The southern point of the Copton Peninsula.

The drop-off is long way out, Visibility: can reach 65ft (20m) Average depth: 130ft (40m) Maximum depth: 130ft (40m) Dive site: There is a large area here, going north to Tapanan. At the northern end is a serie of coral arches in 13ft (4m) to 25ft (8m) of water, and at the southern end there are large buttresses, away from the drop-off, to explore.

As the current takes you further north, the wall rises to 13ft (4m) with a level reef top. Clear areas on the slope have been used for fish-feeding, so a myriad of fish chase you, hoping for food. (Please don't give in on their demands). Flora & Fauna: The slope is rich in healthy soft, leatherly and stony corals, whip corals, Tubastrea corals, large gorgonian sea fans and barrel sponges.
