    Ligpo Island offers a gentle drift along a sloping reef, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxing second dive. We often find schooling fusiliers here, along with occasional cuttlefish and nudibranchs tucked into the corals. It’s a solid choice for macro enthusiasts without strong currents.
