Kontiki/Agus

Moving southwest along the Mactan coast from Tambuli the more or less gentle slope becomes a 90 degree wall at Kontiki and continues as such on past Agus point. Although there are certainly differences between these two sites, for the purpose of this general description they will be treated as one.

The drop-off begins at depths of 7-10 metres and continues to as deep as 42 metres. At the drop-off, divers will find similar rich corals and invertebrates to those seen at the Tambuli fish feeding station. Added to this is the possibility of spotting larger pelagics such as tuna, spanish mackerel, rainbow runners, big barracuda and a large school of sweepers. Further along the wall are some impressive sea fans. In the nooks and crannies expect to find colorful nudibranches, lionfish, squirrel fish, and soldier fish. From out of the shadows, at depths of 27 metres or more, 20 inch long midnight snappers may mysteriously appear and come close to investigat the strange bubble blowers. This site may be enjoyed by novice and advanced divers alike.
